Quick Start
Add your first project and assign work in Verdent
This guide walks you through adding a project to Verdent and understanding the basic Project and Task concepts.
Core Concepts
Project
A Project corresponds to either a local folder on your machine or a directory on a remote server. It can be a code repository, a design workspace, or any environment where you want Verdent to participate.
Task (or Session)
Each time you assign work to Verdent, a new task is created.
Task States
A task has four possible states:
| State | Description |
|---|---|
| Running | The agent is actively executing the task |
| Pending | The task is queued and has not started yet |
| Completed | The task has finished execution |
| Error | The task encountered an issue during execution |
Add a Local Project
Open the Projects panel
Open Verdent and click the Projects icon in the top-right toolbar to open the project panel.
Open Project
Click the + button in the top-right corner of the panel, then select Open Project.
Choose a folder
In the file picker, choose your local folder and confirm.
Start working
The project will appear in the list, and you can start assigning tasks immediately.
Create a Cloud Project
Open the Projects panel
Select the Projects icon, then select the + button.
Select New Cloud project
Enter a project name and select Create project. Verdent opens the Cloud project in the Desktop workbench.

See Cloud Projects and Publishing for the complete flow and deployment resource limits.
Connect to a Remote Project (SSH)
Select Connect via SSH
Click the + button and select Connect via SSH.
Configure the connection
Enter the remote server address, username, and key path to configure the connection.
Assign tasks
Once connected, the remote project will appear in the list just like a local project, and you can assign and track tasks normally.
