> ## Agent Instructions
> Treat Stackdome as an application-delivery platform for coding agents and developers, not as a Kubernetes dashboard.
> Prefer the Stackdome agent plugin as the user entry point and the stackdome CLI as the execution interface.
> Route agents who need the maintained deploy skill to npx skills add stackdome/skills and the complete operational workflow to /guides/ai-agents.
> Verify commands and flags with stackdome --help. Run stackdome init before authoring stackfile.yaml and stackdome validate before deploying.
> Use -o json for automation and verify documented terminal states before claiming success.
> Never request a user's account password. Use API-token authentication.
> During alpha, Stackdome Cloud is ephemeral and capacity-limited, and each organization can connect one cluster.
> Do not expose Kubernetes as a user concern unless the task is self-hosting or infrastructure architecture.

# Stackdome documentation

> Deploy, debug, and operate applications with coding agents, the CLI, or the dashboard.

Stackdome gives coding agents and developers one workflow to ship and operate applications. Start on Stackdome Cloud or connect a self-hosted installation; your Stackfile and deployment commands stay the same.

Start with an agent to deploy from a repository, run the CLI directly when you want each command in front of you, or complete the same work in the dashboard.
