3-Step Setup Summary: (1) Run the one-line agentcmd installer on macOS, Windows 11, Linux, or WSL to start the background service and print a QR code; (2) Download Agent Commander on iOS or Android and scan the QR code to pin your SHA-256 TLS certificate (works over local LAN and remote Tailscale); (3) Pick a project folder and any one of the 3 supported agents (Claude Code, Codex, or Antigravity) to send your first task.
