Picking your context

The first time you open DF Code, it asks you to pick a context rather than log in — no password, just a name. That's intentional: a context is simply the space your work lives in, and picking a new one is closer to naming a new profile than creating an account.

Picking a brand-new context walks you through a short, four-question setup — what you spend your time on, a recurring pain point, and how hands-on you want your agents to be. Answer honestly or skip it entirely; either way, DF Code builds a small working example around your answers so you have something real to look at instead of an empty screen.

That example is a genuine, working Strategy — a couple of agents already wired to hand work to each other — but it's switched off by default, so nothing starts running just because you finished setup. From the closing screen, you can keep that example to explore, or clear it and start from a blank slate.

Re-opening DF Code later and picking a context you've already used skips all of this and drops you straight back into your work. See Sharing one install with your team if more than one person will be using this install.
