Quick Start Guide

Get productive with F3L1X in under 10 minutes. This guide assumes you've already installed F3L1X.

Step 1: Launch F3L1X

From the Start Menu

  1. Click Start Menu
  2. Find F3L1X
  3. Click F3L1X Dashboard

From Command Line

Open Command Prompt or PowerShell and run:

f3l1x start-all

Step 2: Open the Dashboard

Once F3L1X is running, your browser will automatically open to the Dashboard. If it doesn't, open your browser and go to:

http://localhost:8000

You'll see the F3L1X Dashboard with:
- Service status overview
- Terminal access
- Realm management
- Tool marketplace

Step 3: Say Hello

In the Dashboard terminal or any F3L1X session, type:

hello f3l1x

This runs the greeting protocol which:
- Checks all service status
- Shows any pending tasks
- Displays your last session summary
- Suggests what to work on next

Step 4: Explore the Dashboard

Home Page

The home page shows:
- Service Status - Which components are running
- Quick Actions - Common tasks at your fingertips
- Recent Activity - What you've been working on

Terminal

The terminal lets you:
- Run F3L1X commands
- Interact with AI agents
- Execute tasks across your realms

Realms

Browse all available realms and their status. Each realm is a specialized AI agent module.

Step 5: Try Your First Task

Example: Search Documentation

In the terminal, try searching for help:

f3l1x search "how do realms work"

Example: Check Status

See what's running:

f3l1x status

Example: Get Suggestions

Ask F3L1X what to work on:

what should I do next?

Step 6: End Your Session

Before closing F3L1X, save your session context:

/cya

This captures:
- What you worked on
- Files you modified
- Any pending tasks
- Context for your next session
