Guides
Task-oriented walkthroughs for everything you'd want to do in Cerevisor.
Pick the guide that matches what you're trying to do. Each one is self-contained; you don't need to read them in order.
Building workflows
The bread and butter. How to design, configure, and run multi-agent workflows.
- Add and configure agents: every field in the Agent Config popup, when to fill which, smart defaults.
- Connect agents: handoffs, auto-connect, manual wiring, handoff formats.
- Attach markdown files: input files, output files, the markdown panel, the drop zones.
- Control flow: conditions, loops, gates: the four connection flow types and when to use which.
- Run and monitor: the Run button, the Execution Modal, pausing, stopping, replaying.
- Use the chat builder: natural-language workflow construction, attaching skills + files, the floating window.
Working with skills
Skills are reusable, focused capabilities you assign to agents. Cerevisor scans your skill folders and merges them into the Skills panel.
- What are skills?: the concept, the file format, where they live.
- Browse and assign skills: the Skills panel, drag-to-agent, the Skill Viewer.
- Create a skill in the Workshop: templates, the editor, validation.
- Skill compatibility with providers: why some skills only work with some providers.
Providers
Cerevisor is provider-agnostic. Mix Anthropic, Gemini, Claude Agent SDK, local Ollama, OpenAI Codex CLI, and Cursor in one workflow if you want.
- Provider overview: the six provider types, the library, defaults, per-agent overrides.
- Anthropic: API key, model catalog, cost.
- Gemini: API key from Google AI Studio, 2.5/3.x families, >200K-tier pricing.
- Claude Agent SDK: Claude Code's harness running in-process via delegated loop.
- OpenAI-compatible & local models: Ollama, OpenRouter, vLLM, LM Studio, Together, Groq, Fireworks, OpenAI itself.
- OpenAI Codex CLI: device auth, sandbox modes, ChatGPT subscription.
- Cursor Agent: API key, local + cloud execution.
- Per-agent provider overrides: mixing providers in one workflow.
- Managing the Provider Library: add, remove, set default, deletion guards.
Memory & Learning
Cerevisor remembers you across sessions: your preferences, your patterns, what's worked.
- Memory overview: the four memory stores, how they interact, what's local-only.
- Your user profile: editing, the current-focus block, what's auto-managed.
- Harness memory & meta-cognition: what the harness learns from runs, observations, self-portrait.
- Disagreements & proposals: when the harness wants to change your profile and you push back.
- Data inventory & consent: what Cerevisor knows about you, classification by data type, the local export bundle.
- Exporting your data: the right-to-portability JSON bundle.
Situational Awareness
What the harness believes vs. assumes, what's changed since you last looked, what's still unknown. New in v1.2.0.
- Situational Awareness overview: the three slices (taskwork, agent, teamwork), state labels, belief attribution, freshness.
- Configure and run: the SA Directive, the per-agent uncertainty badge, the wave situation report, fixation warnings.
Workspaces & scheduling
- Multiple workflows (World View): workspaces, the rail, cross-workflow links, the world canvas.
- Scheduling & pipelines: cron schedules, multi-workflow pipelines, budget caps.
Advanced
Power-user surfaces. Skip until you need them.
- MCP servers: connect any Model Context Protocol server and expose its tools to your agents.
- Loop & Enhance: automatic detect-fix-rerun cycles.
- Cursor cloud runs: run workflows on Cursor's cloud VMs.
- Embedded apps (Windows): put Outlook, Excel, and other native apps on the canvas.
- Web search providers: configure Tavily, Perplexity, Linkup.
Licensing
- Licensing & tiers: trial, free, paid; what each unlocks; how to upgrade; deactivating a seat.
