​
Sign In

Commander requires a Google account to get started. On first launch, you’ll see the login screen with a Sign in with Google button. This creates your Commander account and authenticates you.

​
Onboarding

After signing in for the first time, Commander walks you through a three-step onboarding flow:
1

Connect a Repository

Add your first local git repository to Commander. You can add more repositories later from the sidebar.
2

Managers

Learn about the manager system — a per-repository AI coordinator that monitors your agents, manages goals, and takes action on your behalf.
3

Awareness

Configure the awareness system — a persistent memory layer that gives managers continuous context about workspace state and enables proactive action.
You can skip onboarding and complete it later, or reset it from Settings → Account.

​
Account Management

Manage your Commander account in Settings → Account:
  • Profile — View your name, email, and avatar
  • Sign Out — Sign out of Commander
  • Reset Onboarding — Re-run the onboarding flow to reconfigure initial settings

​
Session

Your authentication session is managed automatically:
  • Sessions persist across app restarts
  • Commander shows the session expiration time
  • If your session expires, you’ll be prompted to sign in again

​
Claude Accounts

Claude accounts (separate from your Commander login) power the AI agents. See Integrations for details on adding Claude accounts via CLI detection, OAuth, or API key.
