AI agent guide

One click copies the entire ChatOSS manual — paste it into any AI agent conversation and the agent knows how to use ChatOSS and how to build .aip apps to run in it.

One click, one paste — your AI agent gets every page: all ~33 pages of these docs, the complete manual for using ChatOSS and building .aip apps that run in it.

ChatOSS is a desktop operating system for AI work, and this documentation is its complete manual — written so you can hand the whole thing to an AI agent in a single click. That is what this page is for.

Click the Copy all docs button above. It copies every page of this documentation to your clipboard as one clean block of markdown — all ~33 pages, in reading order. Paste it into any AI conversation and that agent instantly holds the complete, current contract for ChatOSS: how the platform works, every window.chatoss API, the capabilities and permissions model, the manifest, the design rules, and the delivery checklist. No doc-hunting, no half-remembered APIs, no invented fields — the agent knows exactly what ChatOSS can do and how to do it.

What the pasted manual teaches your agent

  • How to use ChatOSS — what each built-in app does, how the runtime bridge works, and how the platform's own agents, tools, and models fit together.
  • How to build a .aip app that runs in ChatOSS — a folder of plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with an app.json manifest. No frameworks, no build step, no server; the finished folder zips into a .aip and drops straight into the dock.
  • Every capability — AI chat, files, drive, SQLite, documents, terminal, HTTP requests, webviews, notifications, global shortcuts, background tasks, Kanban boards, MCP, app-to-app APIs, the Agent Engine.
  • What it takes to ship well — the styling rules, the permission prompts users see, and the delivery checklist every app must pass before you install it.

Then just ask

With the manual in context, the agent can go to work immediately. Inside ChatOSS's own Code app it can even publish the finished app into your dock itself — it will offer when it's done. Anywhere else, it delivers the files and the one-line zip instruction. A prompt like this is all it takes:

Build a ChatOSS .aip app that [what your app does] — you have the full manual in context. Follow the delivery checklist before handing it over.

Prefer to read them yourself?

Nothing stops a human — every page is here for you too. Start with the Introduction for the big picture, or jump straight to What is a .aip? to see how apps are put together. The sidebar lists everything.
