🚀 Quick Start (Windows)

This demo is intentionally simple.

1. Install Python

Download and install Python (version 3.10 or newer):

https://www.python.org/downloads/

During installation on Windows, make sure you check:

☑ Add Python to PATH

2. Open PowerShell and Verify Python

Open PowerShell (press Windows key → type "PowerShell").

Verify Python is installed:

python --version

You should see a version number.

3. Navigate to the Project Folder

Use the cd command to move to the folder where the project is located.

Example:

cd "C:\Users\YourName\Downloads\controlled-agent-loop"

(You can copy the folder path from File Explorer and paste it.)

Make sure you are inside the project folder before running the next commands.

4. Install Required Packages

Once inside the project folder, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This installs the required Python libraries.

Note: requirements.txt is a common filename used to list dependencies.
If your project uses a different filename, adjust the command accordingly.

5. Run the Script

Run the main program:

python main.py

Outputs will be written to the output/ folder.

Note: main.py is used here as an example name for the primary script.
Use the actual script name provided in the project (for example: run_role_check.py).

Notes

  • The setup process is usually the hardest part for first-time users.
  • After Python is installed, running the agent only requires a single command.
  • Running from PowerShell or Terminal is recommended to avoid environment or path issues.

Optional: Using an Editor (Sublime, VSCode, etc.)

While the demo can be run entirely from PowerShell or Terminal,
many users prefer editing the code in a programming editor such as
Sublime Text or Visual Studio Code.

Typical workflow:

  1. Open the project folder in your editor.

  2. Edit configuration or prompts as desired.

  3. Run the script from a terminal:

    python main.py

Some editors also allow running Python directly from inside the editor
using build systems or extensions, but this is optional.
The command-line approach above works universally across systems.
