Quick start

Run one command to connect a project, then read the briefing an agent starts from.

npx overlane init

Run it in your project. You need Node.js 22 or later; nothing else to install, no token to paste. It finds your agents, signs you in through the browser, connects the project and prints one prompt to try. It also lists what it found (CI, deploy config, agent instruction files, check scripts) and what is worth doing next.

Overlane is invite-only while it is in internal testing: sign in with the email address you were invited on. Your first sign-in creates a team of your own.

Or let your agent do it

Paste this into Claude Code, Codex or another coding agent:

Set up Overlane in this project.
1. Run `npx overlane init` (Node.js 22 or later). It opens a browser sign-in for me, connects you to the project and prints the next step. Never ask me for a token.
2. Run `npx overlane context` and follow `onboarding.next` until onboarding is complete.
3. Tell me what you found in this project and suggest the first task.

Preview first

npx overlane init --dry-run

Prints the plan, the requests and the files it would write. Changes nothing. overlane disconnect removes only what init added.

Next

  • npx overlane context: the project, the active task and the next three commands, as JSON.
  • npm i -g overlane: keep the CLI (overlane, or ol). overlane connect is the same flow as init, with a confirmation step.
  • overlane agents-md >> AGENTS.md: give every agent session the same start.
  • Prefer the browser? Onboarding. Grok Build, Cursor, Gemini CLI or a cloud session? Install in an agent. Joining a team? Teams and roles.
