Walkthrough

Step-by-step paths through owlcoda's core workflows. Screenshots will be added as the product matures.

Path 1 — Starting from zero

You have an idea but no structured project yet. This path shows how owlcoda creates initial project context from a rough description.

Step 1

Describe your intent

You tell owlcoda what you're trying to build or solve. This can be as rough as a paragraph or as structured as a brief.

Step 2

Context is created

owlcoda generates a structured context: intent, constraints, open questions, and initial work items. This becomes the handoff document for all future sessions.

Step 3

Begin execution or hand off

You can start working immediately, or close the session knowing the context is preserved for later — whether you or someone else picks it up.

Path 2 — Picking up an existing project

Someone else started this project, or you did but lost track. This path shows how owlcoda builds a handoff context from existing materials.

Step 1

Point to existing materials

Provide owlcoda with whatever exists: repos, docs, notes, previous chat exports. It doesn't need everything — it works with what's available.

Step 2

Structured handoff context

owlcoda produces a handoff summary: what's been done, what's pending, key decisions, and recommended next actions.

Step 3

Oriented and ready

You now have structured awareness of the project state. You can ask questions, start executing, or review specific areas.

Path 3 — Returning to continue work

You were here before. You took a break. Now you're back. This is the path owlcoda is optimized for.

Step 1

Open your project

Open the project context. owlcoda immediately shows you the current state — no scrolling through old messages.

Step 2

Review what changed

See what happened since your last session — completed items, new decisions, anything that shifted while you were away.

Step 3

Continue from where you stopped

Pick up the next pending action. The context is already loaded — you're productive in seconds, not minutes.

Path 4 — Review

You want to inspect the current state without changing anything. Review is the read-only path.

Step 1

Enter review mode

Request a review of the project. owlcoda presents the structured state: completed work, in-progress items, pending decisions, and blockers.

Step 2

Drill into specifics

Inspect individual decisions, work items, or context areas. Everything is structured — no searching through chat logs.

Path 5 — Execution

You're ready to move work forward. Execution is the action path.

Step 1

Select a work item

Choose from pending actions. owlcoda shows what's ready, what's blocked, and what depends on what.

Step 2

Execute with context

Work happens within the structured context. The model (or you) has full awareness of the project state, constraints, and history.

Step 3

Context updates automatically

When execution completes, the project context updates: items are marked done, new items may be created, and the handoff state reflects reality.

Path 6 — Reset

A direction didn't work, or a phase is complete. Reset lets you close out and start fresh without losing history.

Step 1

Initiate reset

Tell owlcoda you want to reset the current phase. It asks you to confirm and optionally note why.

Step 2

History preserved, slate cleared

The previous phase is archived — decisions and learnings are kept. But the active work context is clean, ready for a new direction.

Path 7 — Multi-model handoff

You've been working with one model and want to switch to another — or use multiple models for different parts of the work.

Step 1

Work with Model A

You complete a phase of work using one model. The project context captures everything that happened — not just the chat, but the structured state.

Step 2

Hand off to Model B

Open a new session with a different model. Load the same project context. Model B has full awareness of what Model A did, without needing the original conversation.

Step 3

Continuity without lock-in

You're not dependent on any single model's memory or conversation history. The continuity lives in the structured context, not in the model.
