# stagewise Docs > Documentation for stagewise, the open-source agentic IDE for software engineers. ## Getting Started - [stagewise Docs — Open Source Agentic IDE](https://docs.stagewise.io/): stagewise is an open source agentic IDE. AI coding agents read, write, and modify files across your workspaces. Bring your own model, import existing subscriptions, or connect local models. - [Download & Install stagewise](https://docs.stagewise.io/getting-started/installation): Download the stagewise agentic IDE for macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel), Windows (64-bit), or Linux. Get started with AI coding agents on your desktop in minutes. - [Quickstart — Your first prompt with stagewise](https://docs.stagewise.io/getting-started/quickstart): Connect a workspace to the stagewise agentic IDE and send your first AI coding agent prompt. Workspaces, @mentions, slash commands, and diff review in under 5 minutes. ## Core Concepts ### Core Concepts - [How agents work in stagewise](https://docs.stagewise.io/core-concepts/how-agents-work): Understand the agent loop, tool use, and what happens when you send a message to an AI coding agent in the stagewise agentic IDE. Learn how agents reason, use tools, and modify code. - [Workspaces — Connect multiple project folders](https://docs.stagewise.io/core-concepts/workspaces): Connect multiple workspace folders to the stagewise agentic IDE. AI coding agents can read, write, and modify files across projects, shared libraries, and configuration folders simultaneously. - [Agent context — How stagewise agents understand your project](https://docs.stagewise.io/core-concepts/agent-context): Understand how AI coding agents in stagewise build context from WORKSPACE.md, skills, AGENTS.md, @mentions, and DOM context. Learn how to give agents the right information for predictable results. - [Models & providers — Power agents with any AI model](https://docs.stagewise.io/core-concepts/models-and-providers): Power stagewise AI coding agents with any model. Use the stagewise Account, import provider subscriptions, or connect local models. - [Diff review — Track and manage agent code changes](https://docs.stagewise.io/core-concepts/diff-review): Review every code change your AI coding agent makes in the stagewise agentic IDE. Accept, reject, or undo agent edits with full inline diffs and design previews. - [Skills & plugins — Extend stagewise agents](https://docs.stagewise.io/core-concepts/skills-and-plugins): Extend AI coding agents in the stagewise agentic IDE with custom skills (SKILL.md) and built-in plugins. Integrate Figma, GitHub, Supabase, PostHog, Vercel, and Remotion. - [Browser & agent — How stagewise integrates browsing with AI coding](https://docs.stagewise.io/core-concepts/browser-and-agent): The stagewise agentic IDE includes a full Chromium browser engine. AI coding agents can see pages, select DOM elements as context, take screenshots, and interact with web content. ## Reference ### Agent configuration - [General agent settings — Editors, wake behavior, and notifications](https://docs.stagewise.io/reference/general-settings): Configure general stagewise agent settings. Choose the editor used for opening files, keep the app awake while agents work, and customize notification sounds. - [Models & providers configuration](https://docs.stagewise.io/reference/models-and-providers): Configure AI models and providers for stagewise agents. Use the stagewise Account, import provider API keys, or connect custom and local endpoints. - [BYOK — Import your API subscriptions into stagewise](https://docs.stagewise.io/reference/byok-setup): Import provider API keys into the stagewise agentic IDE. Use Claude, GPT, Gemini, Kimi, Qwen, DeepSeek, GLM, or MiniMax subscriptions. - [Custom providers — Connect local models and any API endpoint](https://docs.stagewise.io/reference/custom-providers): Connect local models, self-hosted LLMs, and cloud AI platforms to stagewise. Use OpenAI-compatible, OpenAI Responses, Anthropic, Azure, Bedrock, Vertex, or local endpoints. - [Custom models — Add models not in the built-in list](https://docs.stagewise.io/reference/custom-models): Add custom model definitions to the stagewise agentic IDE. Register fine-tuned models, self-hosted LLMs, or models from alternative providers to use with your AI coding agents. - [Skills & context files configuration](https://docs.stagewise.io/reference/skills-and-context): Configure workspace-specific skills and context files for stagewise AI coding agents. Generate WORKSPACE.md, create SKILL.md files, and manage agent context per workspace. - [Plugins reference — Manage and configure agent plugins](https://docs.stagewise.io/reference/plugins): Manage installed plugins for stagewise AI coding agents. Configure credentials for Figma, GitHub, Supabase, PostHog, Vercel, and Remotion integrations. ### Features - [Diff review reference — Accept and reject agent changes](https://docs.stagewise.io/reference/diff-review): Review, accept, reject, and undo every code change AI coding agents make in the stagewise agentic IDE. Full inline diffs, per-hunk controls, and full edit history. - [DOM context selector — Select elements for agent context](https://docs.stagewise.io/reference/dom-context-selector): Select any web element in the stagewise browser and attach it as context for AI coding agents. Click on UI elements to give agents exact HTML, CSS, and positioning information. - [Command Center — Search agents, tabs, and settings](https://docs.stagewise.io/reference/command-center): Use Command Center in stagewise to search agents, browser tabs, and settings. Switch context, open settings, pin items, rename agents, and manage tabs from one keyboard-first menu. - [Keyboard shortcuts](https://docs.stagewise.io/reference/keyboard-shortcuts): Complete reference of stagewise keyboard shortcuts, including global shortcuts, agent shortcuts, browser tab shortcuts, and context-specific commands. ### Browsing - [Search engines — Configure address bar search](https://docs.stagewise.io/reference/search-engines): Configure search engines for the stagewise browser address bar.
