How-To Guides

Practical step-by-step procedures for common protoPen tasks.

Using protoPen

• Operator Console -- The webview UI at /app: the companion presence + always-streaming chat, the engagement-as-object control surface, findings, the capabilities catalog, and system status.
• Scheduler -- Schedule recurring agent-initiated turns.

Deployment & Operations

• Deploy Updates -- Push code, pull on the Steam Deck, restart the service, and verify.

Integration

• A2A Integration -- Use the Agent-to-Agent JSON-RPC endpoint to drive protoPen from other agents or scripts.
• Discord Integration -- Publish digests and read channel feeds.
