Connect your AI agents to Naetive so every one of them inherits your project's understanding.

Getting started

• Your first ten minutes

  From signing in to an agent that already knows your project: connect, point it at the code, watch it land.

• Your first week

  One thing a day until the loop runs by itself.

• How to connect: which agent, which path

  Chat agents in a minute, Claude Code for the full path, Codex in between; what each gives you and where the tunnel fits.

• Start a project with your AI

  The one-time instruction, then "set this up in Naetive" or "map this project"; what the agent creates and how it should behave.

• What to ask your agent

  The prompts that walk the loop, from orienting to committing.

• Reading Naetive without reading code

  The daily routine for someone who runs the project and never reads a diff.

• Starting a chat that already knows the project

  What to say for a new project, an existing one, or a normal chat; the two lines that make Claude Code orient itself.

• FAQ

  Short answers to the questions new people ask most.

Connect your AI

• Connecting Claude Code

  The one-click install: approve this computer, the key never shown; what it sets up, Windows, opt-out, what can go wrong.

• Connecting ChatGPT

  Add Naetive as a connector behind Developer Mode; give it your files with the tunnel.

• Connecting Claude on the web

  Add Naetive as a custom connector in claude.ai; one URL, no install.

• Connecting Claude Desktop

  Add Naetive as a custom connector in the desktop app.

• Connecting Codex CLI

  The config block Codex needs, and how it reaches your files.

• Installing and starting the tunnel

  Start it in the project folder, or name the folder and project; several projects; what happens on a deploy; if it does not connect.

Understanding

• Understanding: what the project knows

  The word at the top, Needs you, the map of topics and entries, the folder card, and how agents read it.

• How understanding gets recorded

  Understanding commits, the two readers, observed or proposed, supersede never contradict, when commits happen.

• Grounding: why you can trust an entry

  Cited or not yet checked, re-checks and drift, and the three choices when something needs you.

• Keeping the understanding honest

  The marks, the rules agents follow, and the small part that is yours.

• The folder: carry the understanding in your repo

  Get it once, then it follows the understanding; what is inside; what the stamp means; honest limits.

Work and agents

• Work: what your agents are doing

  The bands from Who's here to Completed, what a job is, and how to read the page without reading a chat.

• Good job updates

  What an update is and is not, when to post, the three layers, a worked example.

• A window is an agent

  One window, one row; names; resuming; why it matters.

• Several agents on one project

  One job per window, one shared understanding, the scratchpad in between.

• The roadmap: Now, Next, Later

  The project plan agents keep current, and how it differs from a session roadmap.

The pages

• Status: the front door

  The one word, the four cells, and the routine.

• Chats: your agents, running on your machine, opened here

  What the page shows, how a chat keeps running, and picking up a saved one.

• Foundations: the documents a project rests on

  The longer writing the entries cite, by topic.

• The console and the naetive command

  The small program behind the Chats page, the export command, and where things live.

Concepts and troubleshooting

• The tunnel: what it does for you

  What a chat agent gets, how the relay works, and what keeps you safe.

• What leaves your machine

  Exactly what each hook, the tunnel and the console send, and how to switch each off.

• Activity from Claude Code

  What the hook reports, where it is on by default, and how to switch it off per folder or altogether.

• Activity troubleshooting

  A window missing from Who's here, two rows for one window, activity that stopped, the folder not refreshing.

• Troubleshooting: something is not working

  Start on Connect; the common cases and their fixes.
