Guides

Task-shaped walkthroughs - wiring an agent into the loop, writing memories that get recalled, coordinating a fleet, capturing plans, running trials, and fixing what broke.

Where the concepts pages explain how Seamless thinks, these pages are organized around jobs: each one starts from something you are trying to do and walks the shortest honest path through it, including the failure modes.

If you are connecting a client, start with Integrate your agent - the MCP handshake, the stdio bridge, session binding, and the scope discipline that keeps writes landing in the right project. If the client is Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, or Zed, Connect Cursor, Cline, Windsurf & Zed has the verified config block for each, plus the capability table that says plainly what a client without hooks gives up. Once an agent is writing, Write memories that get recalled is the guide that pays for itself: the description line is the retrieval surface, and the difference between a store that compounds and one that fills with noise is mostly the four habits that page names.

Two guides cover multi-agent work. Coordinate multiple agents shows fan-out over the ready queue, planner/executor splits via plan composition, and what happens when a claim holder dies mid-task. Run research trials is the lab loop for systematic debugging - recording every attempt so parallel agents share dead ends instead of repeating them. Related: Capture Claude Code plans explains how plan mode is captured into notes and tasks automatically, and which hook does what.

The last two are operational. Import, back up & restore covers putting ~/.seamless in git, what deleting seam.db actually costs (an index rebuild, not data loss), and moving to a new machine. Troubleshooting is symptom-first, written for a system whose hooks deliberately fail open - where a broken install looks like silence, not an error message.
