+ First run of Orchestrator Bot: find every computer that runs AO, save them as

+ AO hosts, add a remote AO host that has no Grok Bot desktop app, and turn on

+ optional routines. On a computer without Orchestrator.inc it helps install it

+ and get it ready: a coding agent, a first project and the first orchestrator.

+ Use on the first chat, when memory has no "AO hosts" note, or when the user

+ says "set up AO", "add a host", "add remote host", "check my AO setup" or

+ "install Orchestrator".

+ 1. ListMachines. Use desktops only. If none is connected, say: "Install the Grok Bot desktop app on the computer where you run Orchestrator.inc (or want to), sign in, and tell me when it shows up," then stop.

+ 3. Each desktop where the probe prints a `projects=` line is a **local** AO host; an empty list means it still needs "First run". For any other result, see "Missing pieces". On a Windows desktop, don't run the probe: say once "These skills need macOS or Linux; Windows isn't supported yet," and skip it.

+ ## Missing pieces

+ Use the probe result for each computer. Install or open anything only after the user's yes.

+

+ | Probe shows | Next step |

+ |---|---|

+ | `python=missing` | Fix this first: every step needs it. macOS: `xcode-select --install` (the user confirms the system dialog). Linux: give the package manager line for python3 |

+ | `daemon=not running` and `app=missing` (macOS) | Say: "Orchestrator.inc isn't installed on <computer>. Want me to install it? It's about a 300 MB download." On yes, run "Install on a Mac" |

+ | `daemon=not running` and `app=<path>` | On yes, open it with `open "<path>"`, then "Wait for the app" |

+ | `daemon=not running` on Linux | If Orchestrator.inc is installed, ask the user to open it and say **check again**. Otherwise give the download for the user's distribution: [AppImage](https://github.com/OrchestratorInc/agent-orchestrator/releases/latest/download/agent-orchestrator-linux-x64.AppImage), [.deb](https://github.com/OrchestratorInc/agent-orchestrator/releases/latest/download/agent-orchestrator-linux-x64.deb) or [.rpm](https://github.com/OrchestratorInc/agent-orchestrator/releases/latest/download/agent-orchestrator-linux-x64.rpm). The user installs and opens it, then says **check again** |

+ | `projects=` with nothing after it | Run "First run" |

+ | `ao=missing` with projects listed | Everything works except starting a review, screenshots and automations, which use the `ao` CLI. Say so once |

+

+ **check again** runs the probe on that computer again and goes on from its result.

+

+ **Wait for the app:** run the probe every 15 seconds, for up to 2 minutes, until it prints a `projects=` line. Still `daemon=not running` after that: ask the user to look at the Orchestrator.inc window and say **check again** when it's open.

+

+ ### Install on a Mac

+ After a yes, on that computer. The download takes a few minutes, so the install runs in the background, in its own session so it keeps going after this command returns, and writes its progress to `~/.ao-grok/install.log`. It picks the build for the Mac's chip, checks the app's code signature (Orchestrator.inc's Developer ID team `X9LNSP8MC2`), copies it to Applications (or `~/Applications` if that isn't writable) and opens it:

+ ```sh

+ f(){ mkdir -p ~/.ao-grok && cat > ~/.ao-grok/install-orchestrator.sh <<'EOF'

+ a=$([ "$(sysctl -n hw.optional.arm64 2>/dev/null)" = 1 ] && echo arm64 || echo x64); d=$(mktemp -d)

+ echo "downloading the $a build"

+ curl -fsSL -o "$d/o.dmg" "https://github.com/OrchestratorInc/agent-orchestrator/releases/latest/download/agent-orchestrator-darwin-$a.dmg" || { echo DOWNLOAD_FAILED; rm -rf "$d"; exit 1; }

+ m=$(hdiutil attach -nobrowse -readonly "$d/o.dmg" | awk -F'\t' '/\/Volumes\//{print $NF}' | tail -1)

+ [ -n "$m" ] || { echo INSTALL_FAILED; rm -rf "$d"; exit 1; }

+ app=$(find "$m" -maxdepth 1 -name '*.app' 2>/dev/null | head -1)

+ done_(){ [ -n "$m" ] && hdiutil detach -quiet "$m"; rm -rf "$d"; }

+ if [ -z "$app" ] || ! codesign --verify --deep --strict "$app" 2>/dev/null || ! codesign -dv "$app" 2>&1 | grep -q 'TeamIdentifier=X9LNSP8MC2'; then echo BAD_SIGNATURE; done_; exit 1; fi

+ dest=/Applications

+ cp -R "$app" "$dest/" 2>/dev/null || { dest="$HOME/Applications"; mkdir -p "$dest" && cp -R "$app" "$dest/"; } || { echo INSTALL_FAILED; done_; exit 1; }

+ done_

+ open "$dest/${app##*/}" && echo "INSTALLED $dest/${app##*/}" || echo "INSTALLED_NOT_OPENED $dest/${app##*/}"

+ EOF

+ nohup python3 -c 'import os,sys; os.setsid(); os.execvp("sh", ["sh", sys.argv[1]])' ~/.ao-grok/install-orchestrator.sh > ~/.ao-grok/install.log 2>&1 & echo STARTED; }; f

+ ```

+ Tell the user it has started. Then check `tail -1 ~/.ao-grok/install.log` every 20 seconds, for up to 15 minutes:

+

+ | Last line | Next step |

+ |---|---|

+ | `downloading …` | Still going |

+ | `INSTALLED <path>` | Say "Orchestrator.inc is open on <computer>. I'll get it ready: a coding agent and your first project." Then "Wait for the app" and run "First run" |

+ | `INSTALLED_NOT_OPENED <path>` | Open it with `open "<path>"`, then as above |

+ | `DOWNLOAD_FAILED`, `BAD_SIGNATURE`, `INSTALL_FAILED`, or no change after 15 minutes | Say what happened and give the user the [download page](https://orchestrator.inc/download/) instead. Never retry `BAD_SIGNATURE` |

+

+ ## First run

+ Gets a computer ready for work once Orchestrator.inc is running there: a coding agent, a project, and the first orchestrator. Every change needs the user's yes. If Orchestrator.inc shows its own welcome steps and the user prefers them, let them finish there and say **check again**.

+

+ ### 1. A coding agent

+ ```sh

+ f(){ <aoapi helper>; aoapi POST agents/refresh '{}' >/dev/null; aoapi GET agents/readiness | python3 -c '

+ import json,sys

+ for a in json.load(sys.stdin).get("agents") or []:

+ inst=(a.get("installation") or {}).get("state",""); auth=(a.get("authentication") or {}).get("state","")

+ if inst!="not_installed" or a.get("id") in ("claude-code","codex"):

+ print("\t".join([a.get("id",""), a.get("label",""), a.get("effectiveReadiness",""), inst, auth]))'; }; f

+ ```

+ Columns: id, name, readiness, installed, signed in.

+ - **Some agent is `ready`:** use it. If more than one is ready, ask which one should do the work. Don't pick for the user.

+ - **Installed but not signed in:** on yes, `aoapi POST "agents/<id>/auth" '{}'` and relay its `guidance`. The sign-in runs in a terminal inside Orchestrator.inc; the user finishes it there (it may open their browser). When they say done, run this step again: it refreshes the checks.

+ - **None installed:** ask "Which coding agent do you want to use: Claude Code or Codex?" On the pick and a yes, `aoapi POST "agents/<id>/install" '{}'`, then check `aoapi GET "agents/<id>/install"` every 15 seconds. `status` `succeeded`: sign in as above. `failed`, `unsupported` or `interrupted`: relay it, and point the user to the agent settings in Orchestrator.inc.

+

+ ### 2. A project

+ Suggest the git clones the user worked in most recently (read-only; worktrees are left out):

+ ```sh

+ python3 -c '

+ import glob,os

+ home=os.path.expanduser("~"); found=set()

+ for r in ("Development","Projects","projects","code","Code","src","dev","GitHub","Documents/GitHub"):

+ for pat in ("*/.git","*/*/.git","*/*/*/.git"): found.update(os.path.dirname(g) for g in glob.glob(os.path.join(home,r,pat)) if os.path.isdir(g))

+ for p in sorted(found,key=lambda p:-os.path.getmtime(os.path.join(p,".git")))[:10]: print(p.replace(home,"~",1))'

+ ```

+ Show them as one card, plus a typed option for another folder. On the pick, register it with the agent from step 1:

+ ```sh

+ f(){ <aoapi helper>; aoapi POST projects "$(python3 -c 'import json,os,sys; print(json.dumps({"path":os.path.expanduser(sys.argv[1]),"config":{"worker":{"agent":sys.argv[2]},"orchestrator":{"agent":sys.argv[2]}}}))' '<repo path>' '<agent id>')" 2>/dev/null | python3 -c '

+ import json,sys

+ d=json.load(sys.stdin); p=d.get("project",d)

+ if p.get("id"): print("added", p["id"])

+ else: print(d.get("code","ERROR"), d.get("message",""), (d.get("details") or {}).get("existingProjectId",""))'; }; f

+ ```

+ - `added <id>`: done.

+ - `NOT_A_GIT_REPO`: the folder needs to be a git repository with at least one commit. Ask for another folder.

+ - `PATH_ALREADY_REGISTERED <id>`: it is already a project; use that id.

+

+ ### 3. The first orchestrator

+ Ask: "Want me to start the orchestrator for <project>? Tell me what you'd like done first, or I'll ask it to look around the repo and suggest a first task." On yes, run ao-orchestrator "Start an orchestrator" with that request.

+

+ Then continue with section 2.

+

+ One message, at most 6 lines: per computer, AO found or not, its projects, and how many sessions are live. For a computer without a working AO, add the one next step from "Missing pieces". Then:
