How to access your Minion

After the walkthrough, use Dashboard.

Setup is admin context. The product step you need is not buried here: finish onboarding, then run the five actions on the operations board. Open workspace is how you access the Minion.

Go to Dashboard now Back to Onboarding

The step after walkthrough

Path: Onboarding complete → Dashboard → Prepare workspace → Generate Hermes config → Launch Minion → Open workspace.

Open the operations board

Go to Dashboard. That is where your Minion lives after onboarding.

Open Dashboard

Prepare workspace

Click Prepare workspace so MinionMint creates the computer folder on a host (Kermy / Squirmy / Mercermy).

Do this on Dashboard

Generate Hermes config

Click Generate Hermes config so the Minion gets a runnable agent profile.

Do this on Dashboard

Launch Minion

Click Launch Minion. Wait until status is running (not just prepared).

Launch from Dashboard

Access it

Click Open workspace. That is how you enter the Minion after the walkthrough. You can also open /minions/[minionId] if a Minion ID is shown.
