Getting Started

Getting Started

What you need

• Windows 10 or 11.
• RulZ LLM Suite with at least one model. Qwen3-Coder works best. A larger context length (32K or more) lets the agent take on bigger projects.
• Optional: Git for Windows, which makes Undo faster and more exact. Without it, files are copied aside instead.

1. Start the RulZ server

In RulZ LLM Suite, open the Developer page and click Start server. If LM Studio is also running, it uses port 1234, so set RulZ to port 1235. The Coding Agent looks on both ports.

2. Install the Coding Agent

Download RulZ-Coding-Agent-Setup-<version>.exe from Releases and run it. To run from source instead, use install.bat and then run.bat.

3. The first-run wizard

The wizard:

1. finds RulZ LLM Suite,
2. lets you pick a model,
3. explains approvals (see Approvals and Safety),
4. creates your first project. New projects go in C:\coding unless you choose another folder in Settings → Show details.

4. Ask for something

Type what you want and press Enter. Shift+Enter starts a new line, and Esc or Stop stops the agent at any moment, even mid-command.

Good first requests:

• "Make a to-do list app with a window, where I can tick items off."
• "Make a website that shows a clock in big numbers."
• "Make a Python script that renames all photos in a folder by the date they were taken."

Choosing the look

The sun/moon button in the top bar switches between dark and light. Settings → Look also offers Same as Windows.
