Your first workspace
A workspace is a project folder. Every agent in it starts in that folder, so it already knows what “the code” means.
Look around the demo first
On a brand-new installation NeuroSquad creates a small NeuroSquad demo workspace: a Lead Claude Code agent already wired to a terminal, a Start here note and a Try these todo list, plus a task board and a note that explains how arrows work. A first prompt is typed into the agent, waiting for you to press Enter. It lives in a scratch folder — nothing of yours is touched. If you delete it and want it back, the empty canvas has a button to open it again.
See everything at once: “Launch day”
Want to see a full setup? Open What’s new at the bottom of the sidebar and press Open Launch day. You get a small online shop getting ready for a launch, laid out in five framed chapters:
- Start here — a sticky, a guide note and a todo-list tour.
- Build squad — three Claude Code agents (Lead, Frontend, Backend) and a task board whose tasks are already assigned to them. Press Start to begin.
- Dev tools — a dev server terminal, a browser and a dev servers card.
- Business desk — notes, a Telegram bot card and a reference card with mockups.
- Mission control — standup, budget, a web watch and a flow timer.
Like the demo, it lives in a scratch folder. Deleting it costs nothing.
Create a workspace
The Create workspace dialog opens.
Something meaningful to you — “Online shop”, “Blog”, “Client X”.
Press Browse… and pick the folder with your project. Agents will work there.
Handy once you have several workspaces — it marks the workspace in the sidebar.
Deleting a workspace only removes it from NeuroSquad. The folder and your files stay exactly where they are.
Optional extras
If your agents will work in isolated worktrees, the workspace’s edit dialog also
lets you add a setup command (for example, installing dependencies), files to copy into each
new worktree (like .env), and a run command that starts your project and opens it in a browser
card. The same dialog holds the instructions file mirror.
