Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard is a guided 4-step flow in the web portal that creates a venture, deploys an agent, and launches a first mission — all atomically in a single operation.

How to Open

  1. Start the Gateway: mayros gateway
  2. Open the portal: mayros dashboard (or navigate to http://localhost:18789)
  3. Go to the Ventures tab
  4. Click New Venture

Steps

Step 1: Venture

Define the venture basics:

FieldDescriptionRequired
NameVenture display nameYes
DirectiveTop-level strategic directiveNo
PrefixShort prefix for mission IDs (e.g. SEC, ACM)Yes
Fuel LimitMaximum budget in integer cents (0 = unlimited)No

Step 2: Agent

Add the first agent to the venture:

FieldDescriptionRequired
NameAgent identifier (alphanumeric)Yes
RoleAgent role description (e.g. "Security Scanner")Yes

Step 3: Mission

Create the first mission for the venture:

FieldDescriptionRequired
TitleMission titleYes
DescriptionDetailed description of the workNo
Prioritycritical, high, medium, or low (default: medium)No

Step 4: Launch

Review a summary of everything that will be created, then click Create & Launch.

The summary shows:

  • Venture name, prefix, directive, and fuel limit
  • Agent name and role
  • Mission title, description, and priority

What Happens on Launch

Clicking Create & Launch calls the kaneru.setup gateway method, which atomically:

  1. Creates the venture with the specified name, prefix, directive, and fuel limit
  2. Deploys the agent with its role into the venture's chain of command
  3. Creates the first mission in queued status
  4. Returns the IDs of all created entities

If any step fails, the entire operation is rolled back — no partial state is left behind.

Response

json
{
  "ventureId": "v-abc123",
  "agentId": "scanner",
  "missionId": "SEC-1"
}

The wizard supports forward and backward navigation:

  • Next — advance to the next step (validates current step)
  • Back — return to the previous step (preserves entered data)
  • Create & Launch — appears only on Step 4

Going back from the Launch step clears any error state, allowing you to fix issues and retry.

Alternatives

The Setup Wizard is the fastest path for beginners. Power users have other options:

bash
# CLI: create step by step
mayros kaneru venture create --name "Acme" --prefix ACM --directive "Ship fast" --fuel-limit 10000
mayros kaneru mission create --venture <id> --title "First task" --priority medium

# Dojo: install a pre-built template
mayros kaneru dojo install --template security-audit --name "My Security Team"

Or use the MCP tools from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP client.
