Canonical: https://alaskanlabs.com/docs

## Getting started

- [Getting started](https://alaskanlabs.com/docs/getting-started.md): What Alaskan is, the two ways to use it (on your own iPhone, or as a team for a company), and the first ten minutes with Alaskan for Business.
- [Alaskans on iPhone](https://alaskanlabs.com/docs/alaskans-on-iphone.md): Your own Alaskan in the iPhone app (a Klee Kai on the free plan, a Husky on Plus), and how to add an Alaskan with its 4-digit code or link.

## Alaskan for Business

- [Overview](https://alaskanlabs.com/docs/business.md): A team of AI dogs for a company, in the browser and on iPhone. They do the work under your rules, ask only about what you choose, and keep everything on the record.
- [Decide](https://alaskanlabs.com/docs/decide.md): Where the dogs bring what you've asked them to ask about. One card at a time, numbered options, keys 1 to 4, your own words with R, a 10-second undo, and the iPhone app.
- [The Ledger](https://alaskanlabs.com/docs/ledger.md): Every decision on the record. What a Ledger row holds, outcomes, the append-only audit trail, and the CSV export with its columns.
- [Rules](https://alaskanlabs.com/docs/rules.md): Each dog's three lists, Just do, Ask first and Never, written as plain sentences. How they decide what happens without you, what waits in Decide, and what's refused.
- [The company computer](https://alaskanlabs.com/docs/company-computer.md): One computer per company, one screen per dog. Shared sign-ins and files, a clone for a risky job, and a private computer for finance or HR.

## Templates

- [Overview](https://alaskanlabs.com/docs/templates.md): Alaskan's two template kinds, team templates and workflow templates. Plain JSON, MIT-licensed, installable from the gallery and free to share or sell.
- [Team template format](https://alaskanlabs.com/docs/team-templates.md): The alaskan.team JSON format. Dogs with jobs, personas, rules, routines and apps; the dashboard's views; the workflows a team installs; and sample work.
- [Workflow template format](https://alaskanlabs.com/docs/workflow-templates.md): The alaskan.workflow JSON format. A trigger, nodes (app, search, news, page, computer, think, decide, write, wait, branch) and edges, with at least one Decide.

## Build

- [Build an Alaskan bot](https://alaskanlabs.com/docs/build-an-alaskan-bot.md): Package an agent-first CLI and its skill once, and any company can add it to its Alaskan team. The manifest, SKILL.md, the alaskan-labs CLI, review, how a bot runs, how companies add it and how you earn.
- [Alaskan bot reference](https://alaskanlabs.com/docs/bot-reference.md): Every field of an Alaskan bot's manifest (the alaskan field in package.json) with its limits and defaults, what sends a version back to review, each run, the workflow step, and the creator, marketplace and workspace API.
- [Connect your service](https://alaskanlabs.com/docs/connect-your-service.md): Your product, headless. Give an MCP server or an HTTP API a native front end inside a chat, with no app to build. What you need, how to paste it in, the preview, publishing and review.

## API

- [API reference](https://alaskanlabs.com/docs/api.md): The Alaskan for Business API (v1). Signing in with email, linking a browser or an iPhone, workspaces and dogs, Decide and undo, the Ledger and its CSV export, templates and workflows.

## For AI agents

- [For AI agents](https://alaskanlabs.com/docs/for-ai-agents.md): How agents can read alaskanlabs.com. llms.txt and llms-full.txt, a Markdown twin of every page, the templates and Alaskans as JSON, and the crawler policy.
