Getting started
A practical first-day path through Noumena Code.
1. Create an account and sign in
Open code.noumena.com, create an account, and sign in. The same account is used by the web app and the CLI OAuth flow.
2. Create or open a repository
Open Repositories and choose New repository, or open a repository you already own, collaborate on, or have been invited to access. Repositories can be public or private according to the visibility you choose and the access you have.
3. Learn the repository surface
From a repository, start with:
- the source tree and README;
- the clone menu for Git, GitHub CLI, Sapling, or JJ commands;
- Issues for work planning;
- Stack reviews for reviewable changes;
- Smartlog for graph and draft context.
4. Choose a work path
- Use the CLI quickstart for local terminal work.
- Start with an issue when the task needs durable context or an agent workspace.
- Start a stack review when you already have a real base and comparison range to review.
- Use the web workflow when work should be scoped and visible to collaborators.
5. Review before you land
Keep the intent, source changes, checks, review decision, and landing action connected. A clean workflow is:
issue → workspace → source changes → stack review → checks → land
