SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

New LingTai users need a guided, hands-on way to learn how avatars, multi-agent networks, and pluggable capabilities work without reading static documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Avatar Network Exercise: Walks through spawning 3 avatars, chain-spawning sub-avatars, cross-network email introductions, and emergency shutdown via /suspend all.
  • Dynamic Capability Discovery: Uses system(show) to list actually loaded capabilities from init.json and demonstrates each one live instead of reciting a hardcoded list.
  • Use Case: A user following the LingTai tutorial reaches lesson 9 and wants to see a multi-agent network grow out of control, inspect the kanban and viz views, then safely suspend the entire network while reviewing delegates/ledger.jsonl.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to start tutorial lesson 9 on capabilities and walk you through spawning avatars and discovering your loaded capabilities.

FAQPage Schema
How do I spawn avatars in LingTai?

Avatars are spawned as specialist sub-agents during the capabilities lesson, starting with 3 avatars with distinct names and personalities. You can then ask each avatar to spawn 2 more, demonstrating chain spawning and exponential network growth.

How do I see which capabilities are loaded in LingTai?

Use system(show) to list your actually loaded capabilities at runtime. Capabilities are pluggable tools declared in init.json, so the available set depends on your configuration rather than a fixed list.

How do I stop all avatars in a LingTai network?

Run /suspend all to kill the entire agent network as an emergency brake. This is taught as the final step of the network explosion exercise after demonstrating uncontrolled growth.

What is delegates/ledger.jsonl in LingTai?

delegates/ledger.jsonl is the record of delegated agent activity shown at the end of the capabilities lesson. It lets you inspect what the spawned avatar network did during the exercise.

Can I monitor a LingTai agent network visually?

Yes, the lesson directs users to the /kanban and /viz views to watch the avatar network as it grows. These views show live agent state while the network exercise runs.
