Workflow & Agent Management

Learn how to create, organize, and manage your agents in Canoryn.

Creating Agents

  1. Sidebar: Click the + (New Agent) button in the header.
  2. Context Menu: Right-click on any folder and select New Agent.
  3. From Library: Drag an agent from My Library into My Projects to create an editable copy.

Organization

Folders & Hierarchy

Keep your workspace clean with nested folders:

  1. Click the New Folder icon in the sidebar header to create a root folder.
  2. Drag and Drop agents into folders to organize them.
  3. Rename: Select a folder or agent and press Return to rename it.

Window Management

Canoryn supports a professional multi-window workflow:

  • Open in New Window: Right-click an agent in the sidebar and select "Open in New Window".
  • Focus Mode: Press Cmd + Shift + F to toggle Focus Mode, hiding the sidebar and inspector for a distraction-free canvas.

Saving & Versioning

Auto-Save

Canoryn saves your work automatically.

  • The system monitors the graph state and saves to disk whenever changes are detected.
  • You can press Cmd + S to force a save checkpoint.

History (Undo/Redo)

Canoryn maintains a robust undo stack for the current session:

  • Undo: Cmd + Z
  • Redo: Cmd + Shift + Z
  • Scope: Covers all canvas actions including moving nodes, wiring, property changes, and grouping.

Agent Lifecycle

  1. Designing: Use the Canvas to wire together nodes.
  2. Debugging: Use the Console and Debug Mode to test behavior in real-time.
  3. Deploying: (Future) Package your agent for standalone execution.

    Note: You can always run and use your agents locally within Canoryn directly from the canvas or sidebar.

Deleting Agents

  • Right-Click > Delete: Removes the agent from your workspace.
  • Warning: Deleting a folder removes all agents inside it. This action cannot be undone via Cmd + Z.
