Install Alfred.
Use Alfred Desktop for guided setup, or use the terminal on a headless Mac or Linux host. Both paths install the same planning, development, review, test, fix, and reliability roles.
Choose Desktop or terminal setup.
The desktop path is the default for most users because it can install or repair core, inspect an existing setup, start the local server, guide auth, and keep setup repairable. The terminal path is still there for headless hosts and people who want every command in front of them.
Use Alfred Desktop.
- Installs or repairs Alfred core from the app
- Detects an existing Alfred runtime and repo checkout
- Guides GitHub, Claude Code, Codex, and local server checks
- Configures the full agent team without hand-editing prompts
- Lets you pick a roster theme or custom display names
Run the terminal install.
- Best for Linux servers, scripted setup, and no-GUI installs
- Installs dependencies and writes the local runtime
- Can be driven by Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode with the assisted guide
- Ends with doctor, dry-run, and scheduler checks
Check the setup before real work starts.
The doctor command checks the local runtime. A dry run walks one agent through its startup path without touching GitHub, Slack, an engine, or your files.
Planning, implementation, review, test, and operations roles.
The default setup enables the local engineering workflow. Theme names appear in Slack and Desktop, while stable role slugs control schedules, labels, worktrees, and configuration.
