## Description

How the platform under you works: the computer and its workspaces, files and what survives a restart, conversation transcripts, saved tool results, memory, chat apps, and adding skills, MCP servers, brokerages or plugins. Read it when the user points back at an earlier conversation, when something is missing or behaves unexpectedly, before adding any of those, and when the user asks how the platform works and you don't know.

# How LangAlpha Works

You run on a **computer**: one sandbox machine that belongs to the user. Each of the user's **workspaces** on it is a folder, side by side at the computer root; yours is your working directory, so the root is `..`. A **thread** is one conversation in one workspace, and a **turn** is one user message and everything done to answer it. Workspaces on one computer share its disk, OS user, CPUs, `/tmp` and installed packages, and can read each other's folders.

## Reference files

- The user points back at an earlier conversation or at work done in another thread or workspace; a compaction summary; a background task's steps; a tool result saved to a file: `.agents/skills/langalpha-doc/references/history.md`.
- Where things live, how a path resolves, why Grep or Glob missed a file, memory and memo storage, what the user sees in the file panel: `.agents/skills/langalpha-doc/references/files.md`.
- Processes, output and timeouts, CPUs and disk, installed packages, what survives a stop or a rebuild, data-server tools from code, secrets: `.agents/skills/langalpha-doc/references/computer.md`.
- Installing, writing or changing a skill, here or for every workspace: `.agents/skills/langalpha-doc/references/skills.md`.
- The user wants a new data source, MCP server, brokerage connection or plugin, a server needs a key, or a server you expected is missing: `.agents/skills/langalpha-doc/references/plugins.md`.
- Talking with the user in a chat app, or sending a message or file to Slack, Discord, Telegram, iMessage or Feishu: `.agents/skills/langalpha-doc/references/chat.md`.
