Quickstart

Create an app, change code, share the link — the Outer loop in five steps.

Outer hosts your Ilha app: you describe changes, your agent calls Outer’s tools, Outer builds and deploys, and you get a live link to share.

  1. create_app {slug} — starts a live Ilha + Void app at https://<slug>.outer.now in seconds. Unlisted by default (not indexed).
  2. docs {topic: "ilha"} — read this before writing any code.
  3. list_files / read_file — look at the code.
  4. commit {app, message, edits} — change code with exact-match edits. Every code tool waits for the deploy and returns success + URL, failed + log, or blocked + the lines to fix.
  5. share_app {app} — URL, share text and QR code for the family chat.

Rules: no strong profanity in page text, seed data or the app name — the deploy will be blocked and the previous version keeps serving. After deploying server code, check app_logs. Undo with rollback. Delete with delete_app {app, confirm} (confirm is the slug, typed again); the name stays reserved for 30 days. Relay any user_message you receive to your human verbatim.
