Get started with ACC

Your first milestone: a small piece of work you can review.

Source-reviewed guide · deployment verification pending8 September 2026

Before you begin

You need access to ACC, a project you are allowed to work on and an available execution machine. AI provider access is separate from your ACC account. Free beta access covers ACC only. You provide your own supported AI subscriptions or API credits and pay any VPS costs.

Your first project, step by step

  1. Sign in with the account that received access. Check that you are in the intended workspace.
  2. Use your personal workspace for individual work, or create or join a team organization for collaborators.
  3. Choose New project. Bring a brief, an existing local repository, or a GitHub repository you can access.
  4. Install and sign in to the CLI, then connect an execution machine if the work needs one.
  5. Discuss one small outcome with a manager agent in Workspace. Review the plan, relevant files and approval settings.
  6. Follow the task in Work → Board. Respond to decisions in your inbox.
  7. Review the result and checks before accepting or merging it. Ask for corrections when needed.

Start small

Try a documentation improvement or a contained interface change in a noncritical project. Describe how you will judge success before work starts. The goal is to learn how the manager, task board and review process fit together.

If you get stuck

Check account and workspace first, then repository permissions, provider sign-in and machine status. Use the troubleshooting guide before starting duplicate tasks.
