Four numbered screens. The first is skipped on a machine with only one coding agent, and the numbering adjusts so you are never told you are on step 2 of 4 when there are three. Between the last two, the wizard asks one question when your team has more than one workspace: where this computer’s work should go.

Sign in

Before any screen, the wizard authorizes this device. It opens your browser; you approve there. Nothing is pasted.If you were given a ten-character code on the website, pass it as an argument and the wizard uses it instead:
On a device that already holds a credential, the wizard asks whether to keep the current account or continue with the website code — that is how a wrong-account install gets corrected.

Coding agents

Which agents to set up: Claude Code, Codex, pi, Kimi Code, Capy, or several. Detected agents are pre-ticked; Space toggles, Enter continues. Capy is listed when its app is on this computer; see Capy.This screen does not appear when the machine offers no choice.
Each agent gets its own capture credential and its own plugin directory. They are configured independently and can fail independently — which is why the summary line shows MCP and capture per agent, not once for the device.

Review and install

Everything that is about to be set up, in plain terms. There is no capability picker here on purpose: the install is complete by design, and this screen is what carries the disclosure.
Skills for tracking runs, and read-only search over your lab’s history.
Streams your Claude Code, Codex, pi or Kimi Code sessions to your team’s knowledgebase. Sends your prompts, the assistant’s replies, and the shell commands you run, not file contents and not tool output.For Capy, it copies the threads you start, in the Capy projects you choose, every 10 minutes through Capy’s API: the installer asks for your Capy API key after this screen, and leaving it empty skips Capy capture. See Capy.Credential-shaped values are replaced before upload, but that is a filter and not a guarantee, so keep live credentials out of your prompts. Captured sessions are visible to your whole team.It is per-device, disclosed here and again at the browser approval, and probe wizard --no-capture --yes turns it off at any time. See Session capture.
Keeps the CLI and plugins current in the background at session start.
A managed Probe block in each selected agent’s global instruction file, prompting it to search Probe and track research there. The block is managed — probe agent-rules refresh rewrites it when it falls behind the CLI — and everything around it is left alone.
Enter installs. Esc goes back.

Installing

The marketplace is added, both plugins are installed for each selected agent, the capture credential is paired, and the managed rules block is written. Progress is per-stage, not a single indeterminate bar.Nothing here needs input. If an agent fails, the others still complete and the failure is named rather than rolled into a generic error.

Where should this computer's work go?

Every new project made on this computer, by your agent, the Probe daemon or an SDK run, is filed in one workspace. The wizard lists your team’s workspaces, starting on the one this computer already uses, and offers Create a new workspace. Your pick is saved for this computer, the same setting probe workspace use writes.A team with one workspace is not asked. An unattended install (--yes, or no terminal) never guesses between several: it keeps this computer’s workspace, else your saved one, else leaves it unset and says how to pick. This step never blocks a finished install.

Import existing work

The install is done; this screen offers to bring your history in.
  • Import past coding sessions — reads the selected agents’ saved transcripts; asks before anything uploads.
  • Import a folder of project work — an agent reads the folder, uploads what it finds and describes it.
Neither is ticked for you. Continuing with nothing selected is a real answer, not a failure state — you can come back to this from the main menu at any time.See Import research work for what each one does.

​
After the install

The final page shows compact live progress for both kinds of import, sessions first. You can exit while they run. To confirm the install independently:
In Claude Code, the install also added a status indicator under the input box. It renders ● tracking → folding, ● tracking → folding · running or ● read-only, and keeps whatever status line you already had; Uninstall removes it and restores that. See Status line. Your agent records its own work, unless the other coding agents on this computer already record through the Probe daemon: a newly set-up agent joins them. To switch, use Who records on the wizard’s main menu.

​
Doing it without the wizard

Prints every command the wizard would run, for the agents you name. It is generated from the same constants the wizard uses, so it cannot drift from what the wizard actually does. This is the path for air-gapped machines and for anyone who wants to see the commands before running them. See Installation for the commands themselves.
