Open your first agent session

Open Settings ▸ Providers and enable the coding CLIs you use. Saggar uses that roster to fill the new-terminal menu; it never installs a provider without asking.

Return to a project, open the ＋ menu, and select an agent. A terminal opens in the project directory and starts the provider. Starting the CLI yourself in a plain terminal works too.

When Saggar recognizes the process, the session gains an agent label and begins reporting Needs you, Working, Idle, Finished, or Failed. Provider hooks can make those signals more exact. They are optional and managed from Settings ▸ Providers.

Continue with Agents for recognition and hooks, then Managing parallel agents when you are ready to run more than one session.
