How do I get started with CueCrux?

Getting started is one binary, and deliberately boring.

Install the Crux Daemon. It is free, runs locally, needs only a CPU, and does not ask you to create an account. There is no cloud dependency in the default path: the store lives on your disk and verification works offline.

Open the operator console at localhost:14800. This is the local view of everything the daemon knows: a canvas board, the relation graph over your store, an ExecPlans kanban for plans and work items, and live sessions.

Connect an agent over MCP. The daemon exposes more than 100 tools covering memory, retrieval, sessions, work tracking and receipts. The connection binds to a passport, and from that moment every tool call carries it. The first state mutation your agent makes mints its first CROWN receipt.

Verify early, so you know what you have. Run corecruxctl verify-store and watch the chain check pass. Export a context and verify it offline. This is the habit the rest of the product is built on: never take the record on faith, including ours.

From there, grow into the features as you need them: sessions and checkpoints, cross-session handoffs, ExecPlans on the live work board, scoped forget with dry-run, and engrams for procedures your agents repeat. When you need hosted sync or fleet-wide governance, the paid tiers add them; nothing about the local daemon expires.
