Warden Help

This is not a chatbot. Warden is an autonomous agent system. The model you're talking to is the orchestrator; it has tools, sub-agents, and filesystem access. It responds best to actionable requests — things you want done, not things you want to talk about.

The 30-second version

  • You talk to one assistant — the orchestrator. It rewrites your request into a precise brief and delegates to the right specialist (Atlas, Iris, Dexter, Byte, Artemis, The Council).
  • Atlas runs in the background and is supervised: the orchestrator checks running jobs every 45 seconds, stops stuck or looping ones, and automatically retries failures with a reworked prompt.
  • Be specific: include the file path, URL, or input data. Parallelize independent asks. Watch the verbose bar. Reserve The Council for consequential decisions.
