Fased Agent Setup

Fased Agent is a self-hosted agent runtime. Start with the Gateway and browser dashboard, then add models, skills, services, channels, wallets, Fased Network, or SAT mining only when the base agent is trusted and the operator setup needs them. Use this page after first boot to turn a working install into a real Agent setup.

Getting Started

Install Fased, onboard the machine, and open the dashboard.

Operator Glossary

Learn the shared wallet, mining, bond, and Fased Network terms.

Runtime Model

The recommended order is:
  1. make the runtime stable
  2. connect one trusted model
  3. send the first browser chat
  4. add skills, services, memory, channels, and tasks
  5. add wallet, Fased Network, or SAT mining only when the base agent is trusted

Conservative Defaults

Start conservative:
  • keep the Gateway private by default
  • use Tailscale for hosted/admin access
  • connect one trusted channel before adding public routes
  • keep wallet-bearing and mining workflows separate from normal chat
  • review skills and services before allowing them for an Agent
For host hardening and gateway operations, use Gateway & Ops.

First Operator Pass

After onboarding:
fased dashboard
fased status
Then work from the selected Agent:
SurfaceUse it for
Agent > ModelsProvider auth, primary model, fallback model, task model
Agent > SkillsCreate, install, configure, review, and allow Agent skills
Agent > ServicesWeb/search, Gmail, Calendar, GitHub, browser/media, and custom APIs
Agent > ChannelsChat app setup and routing to this Agent
Agent > MemorySession-memory and archive state
Agent > TasksSaved tasks, triggers, workflows, graphs, programs, and templates
Dashboard is the launch/status board. Use /agents for real setup.

Workspace And Memory

The default workspace is:
~/.fased/workspace
Fased creates starter files such as AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, TOOLS.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md, HEARTBEAT.md, MEMORY.md, and memory/ when the workspace is new. Treat this folder like the agent’s operational memory and keep it private. Useful links:

Wallet, Network, And SAT

Fased works without wallets or SAT. Add wallet, Fased Network, or SAT modules only when they have a specific job:
PathWhen to use it
Wallet policyWhen the Agent needs reviewed sends, balances, receipts, or wallet-bound skills
Fased NetworkWhen this runtime needs identity, hosted reachability, offers, or operator trust
SAT miningWhen the node will mine, claim, and build public operator history
BondWhen SAT inventory should back an operator trust role

Channels And Tasks

Connect channels only after the browser chat works. Route each account, topic, or guild to a selected Agent from Agent > Channels. Use Agent > Tasks for saved work definitions. Run history is audit data; the owning domain page still controls the operation:
  • Mining controls stay in Mining
  • Wallet signing stays in Wallet
  • Marketplace orders stay in Marketplace
  • Channel routing stays in Channels
  • Service auth stays in Services

Operations Checks

fased status
fased status --all
fased status --deep
fased health --json
Logs live under /tmp/fased/ by default.
