# Quick Start

> Your first task — from setup completion to a real piece of work

# Quick Start

You've finished [setup](/workspace-setup) and your first agent is on the canvas. This page is what to do next.

## Talk to your agent

Click your agent on the canvas. The right panel opens with the chat tab focused. Press `Cmd+L` to focus the input, type a message, and press Enter.

**Some starting prompts to try:**

> Read through the codebase and give me a summary of the project structure.

> Look at the last 10 commits and tell me what changed.

> Draft a short README for this repo.

The agent's status ring turns green while it works. Its sticky note updates with what it's doing right now. Responses stream in real time.

<Tip>
  Specific instructions get executed immediately. Open-ended direction shapes how the agent approaches future tasks. Corrections apply once and hold permanently — agents remember.
</Tip>

## Watch what's happening

While the agent works, you can:

* **Read the chat** in the right panel — every tool call, file edit, and message is logged in order
* **Open the terminal tab** to see the agent's working directory and run your own commands alongside it
* **Open the tools tab** to see which skills and apps the agent has access to
* **Stop the run** with the **Stop** button if it goes off-track — the agent's status returns to idle and it remembers the partial work

When the agent finishes a turn, the chat shows its summary and the status ring goes idle. Send another message to continue, or step away — the conversation persists.

## Scale up

The point of Pentagon is multiple agents — and multiple humans — working together.

### Add more agents

Click **+** on an empty canvas cell to spawn another agent. Give each one a focused job:

* A **frontend agent** with access to your UI code
* A **backend agent** with access to your API code
* A **reviewer agent** with read-only access that checks the others' work

Each agent gets its own clone of the repo and its own branch, so they can work in parallel without stepping on each other. See [Spawning Agents](/agents/creating-agents) for the full Create Agent walkthrough.

### Organize into teams

When you have 4+ agents on the canvas, group them visually:

1. Click **Create Team** in the canvas toolbar (or hold **Shift** on the canvas)
2. Drag a rectangle to draw a team region
3. Name and color it
4. Drag agents into the region

Teams turn a wall of agent nodes into a readable org chart. See [Teams](/teams/teams).

### Let agents collaborate

Tell one agent to message another:

> When you're done with the API endpoint, message the frontend agent so they can build the UI for it.

You'll see flight animations as messages move across the canvas. Open the conversation panel to follow along. Real handoffs, no human in the middle. See [Agent Communication](/communication/agent-to-agent).

### Invite teammates

Share your studio with other humans:

1. Open **Settings → Organization**
2. Copy the invite link
3. Paste it in Slack, email, anywhere

Teammates sign in, paste the link in the Company step of their own setup, and land directly in your studio with access to the same agents and apps. See [Organizations](/teams/organizations).
