Setup

Setup in Coldtea is mostly about connecting the tools you already use: your repo, your shell, your agent CLIs, and your team integrations.

Start small. A working local agent session is more useful than a half-configured stack of integrations.

Local setup

• Agent setup — make sure Coldtea can discover and launch your CLI agents.
• Provider credentials — understand where model-provider auth is configured.
• Worktree scripts — prepare repeatable setup and cleanup for parallel work.

Team integrations

• GitHub — connect repository workflows where your TeaHouse uses GitHub.
• Linear — connect issue context where your team tracks work in Linear.

Developer hooks

• MCP and local API — understand the local tool surface exposed to agents and automation.

Setup rule of thumb

If an agent does not work in your normal terminal, fix that first. Coldtea hosts the CLI; it does not replace the CLI's own installation, auth, or permission model.
