Create your first lane

A lane keeps agent work out of your primary checkout. Use one lane per task.

Create the lane

Open Lanes

Choose Lanes from the sidebar.

Click New lane

Give the lane a short task name, such as add-health-endpoint or fix-login-copy.

Choose the base branch

For your first lane, use your default branch, usually main.

Create

ADE creates a Git worktree under .ade/worktrees/ and checks out a branch for the lane.

The lane should show a clean diff and no active sessions. Open it in Work to start chat or a terminal.

Start a small lane-scoped chat.
