# Introduction

**Hlix coordinates a team of AI agents for your projects.** Describe what you want to build. A project manager plans the work, build agents make changes in parallel, and review agents check the results before you merge.

Use **Hlix Code**, the built-in coder, or connect [Claude Code, Codex, and other coders](/guides/connect-agents/). Your team follows the same plan and review process whichever coder you choose.

[Set up your agent](/mcp/agent-setup/) — documentation, CLI skills, and the hosted MCP connection.

## Get started

[Ship your first task](/getting-started/quickstart/)

[Bring an existing project](/guides/bring-an-existing-project/)

## From request to reviewed change

1. **Describe the outcome.** Start a project or send a request to an existing one. The project manager checks for duplicate work and organizes the change into cycles.
2. **Let the team build.** Each cycle has one build agent, a branch, and a checklist of tasks. Independent cycles run in parallel, using isolated [Cloud Machines](/concepts/project-environment/).
3. **Review and merge.** Automated checks and a separate review agent check the work. Accepted cycles collect on a preview branch. You approve the final merge into your repository's default branch.

For projects using an [initial proposal](/running/approvals/), an agency member approves the scope before the first build agent starts. After that, planning, implementation, and review continue autonomously.

## Understand the model

| Concept | What it means |
| --- | --- |
| [Workspace](/security/tenancy/) | Your organization: members, projects, shared knowledge, and billing. |
| [Project](/concepts/glossary/) | One product or client engagement, coordinated by one project manager. |
| [Cycle](/running/cycles/) | A coherent change delivered by one build agent on its own branch. |
| [Task](/running/tasks/) | An item on the cycle's live checklist. |
| [Cloud Machine](/concepts/project-environment/) | An isolated container for running your project's code and tools. |

## Read with your assistant

Use **Copy Markdown** or **Open** at the top of a page to share it with your coding assistant. Each article also has a Markdown version: `/sdk/typescript/` becomes `/sdk/typescript.md`.

For broader context, use the [documentation index](/llms.txt) to find relevant pages, or [all documentation](/llms-full.txt) as one text file.
