SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The instances manager provides the API for managing workspace instances throughout their lifecycle, enabling creation, visibility, and lifecycle operations with integrated project detection and onboarding support.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Add, list, get, delete, start, stop, and connect to workspace instances across one or more runtimes.
  • Automatic project detection, config merging (workspace, project, and agent settings), and onboarding integration to streamline multi-workspace workflows.
  • Interactive terminal sessions and runtime orchestration to run isolated AI workspaces with reproducible environments.

Quick Start

Create a new instance by supplying a source directory and optional settings to automatically configure and run in a managed workspace.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage AI workspace instances across different runtimes?

Managing AI workspace instances across runtimes requires an orchestration API that handles creating, starting, stopping, and deleting workspaces. This approach integrates with runtime registries to control multiple isolated environments from a single interface.

What is automatic project detection for AI workspaces?

Automatic project detection for AI workspaces is a mechanism that integrates with git-based sources to identify project configurations. It merges workspace, project, and agent settings automatically to streamline onboarding and ensure reproducible environments.

How do I start and connect to isolated workspace instances?

To start and connect to isolated workspace instances, you apply start lifecycle operations through the management API. Once running, you can establish interactive terminal sessions to directly interface with the orchestrated AI workspace environment.

Can I merge agent settings automatically when onboarding new workspace instances?

Yes, you can merge agent settings automatically when onboarding new workspace instances. The onboarding integration automatically merges workspace, project, and agent configurations to streamline multi-workspace workflows without manual setup.

What is the best way to orchestrate multiple AI workspace lifecycles?

The best way to orchestrate multiple AI workspace lifecycles is using a dedicated instances manager. It provides a comprehensive API for listing, querying, and managing state transitions across one or more runtimes, ensuring reproducible environments.

Do I need git-based project detection to configure isolated AI workspaces?

You do not strictly need git-based project detection, but it is required for automatic configuration. By supplying a source directory, git-based project detection merges configurations automatically, streamlining the setup of isolated AI workspaces.
