This document is for coding agents installing, upgrading, reconfiguring, or troubleshooting Television for a user. Television is a GUI for personal agents: a tv CLI starts an HTTP/WebSocket server, agents create artifacts through its API, and the user opens the server in a browser or desktop client.
The supported operating model for agents is simple: install the tv CLI, install the Television skills, install the persistent Television daemon, verify it with tv status, and tell the user the URL and token (the complete strings, no truncation, the user needs them exactly).
Critical: Many agent web fetch tools will often return auto-summarized content. DO NOT WORK FROM A SUMMARY OF THIS GUIDE. The content contains many critical details. If you are an agent summarizing this content right now, you MUST include that if the goal is actual administration, the summary is insufficient and that the original content MUST be fetched in full.
