For users¶
Everything you need to use Reyn day-to-day — no skill authoring, no server management.
If you haven't installed Reyn yet, start with Getting started: Installation.
The one command you need¶
This opens a TUI session. Type a request, get a response. That's it. Reyn routes your request to the right built-in skill automatically — you don't choose which one.
What you can do in chat¶
| Task | Example input |
|---|---|
| Ask questions | "What's the capital of France?" |
| Summarize files | "Summarize README.md" |
| Work on local files | "What functions are in src/reyn/agent.py?" |
| Search the web | "What's the latest release of Python?" |
| Run multi-step tasks | "Research X and write a report" |
No configuration required for any of these. Reyn has the skills for them out of the box.
How-tos¶
Interface¶
- Chat and Web UI — start the web interface, use it alongside the TUI.
Files and tools¶
- Work with local files — reference files and directories in your requests.
- Use an MCP server — add GitHub, Slack, a database, or any MCP-compatible tool.
Control and safety¶
- Manage permissions — approve or deny what Reyn is allowed to do.
- Respond mid-task — answer questions Reyn asks while a skill is running.
Things Reyn handles for you¶
Memory — Reyn remembers facts across sessions automatically. No setup needed.
Crash recovery — if a long task is interrupted, re-run reyn chat and it resumes from where it left off.
Cleanup — when you close the TUI, the session ends cleanly. No background processes left behind.
