These guides configure Poolside’s own agent, whether you run it through Poolside Agent CLI, Poolside Assistant, or an ACP-compatible editor. They help you guide the agent, add capabilities, and control access. If a third-party tool such as Cline, GitHub Copilot, or Kilo Code calls Poolside models directly, or an ACP-compatible editor runs a different agent, use that tool’s own setup guide instead. See Tool integrations to choose a guide.
