# Guides

These are task guides for running Muse Code through a graphical client: Windows without WSL, resuming past sessions, remote daemon setup, parallel agents in git worktrees, reading what an agent changed, and the two failures people hit most, a missing muse CLI and the macOS first launch warning.

Each guide is one task, with the steps and the failure modes.

## Pages

- [Muse Code on Windows without WSL](https://helicon.sh/guides/muse-code-windows-without-wsl): Muse Code runs natively on Windows. Here is how to check which route you are on, run it with Windows paths and PowerShell, and keep WSL2 as a fallback.
- [Resume a session](https://helicon.sh/guides/resume-a-muse-session): Find and reopen any past Muse Code thread, including ones started in the terminal TUI, with its full history, diffs and approval record intact.
- [Remote daemon](https://helicon.sh/guides/remote-daemon-setup): Put the Helicon daemon and the muse CLI on the machine that holds your code, then open the same UI in a browser from anywhere you trust the network.
- [See what a thread cost](https://helicon.sh/guides/see-muse-code-cost): Open the usage page to see what every thread would have cost at published per token rates, by day, by model and by thread, plus your plan meter.
- [Review what the agent did](https://helicon.sh/guides/review-agent-changes): Read a finished Muse Code run: inline diffs at the point of the edit, tool calls with their output, the approval record, and the touched files in a viewer beside the thread.
- [Parallel agents in worktrees](https://helicon.sh/guides/run-parallel-agents): Use isolated git worktrees so parallel agents never collide, then watch all of them from one sidebar that shows which threads are running and which are blocked.
- [Keyboard control](https://helicon.sh/guides/keyboard-shortcuts): The command palette, slash commands in the composer, and the model and reasoning effort picker. Everything in Helicon is reachable without a mouse.
- [Fix: muse CLI not found](https://helicon.sh/guides/muse-cli-not-found): Helicon needs a working, logged in muse CLI. Here is how to check which install it is looking at on Windows, macOS, Linux and WSL2, and how to fix each case.
- [Fix: macOS first launch](https://helicon.sh/guides/macos-first-launch): The macOS builds are updater signed but not Apple notarized yet, so Gatekeeper warns once. Right click the app and choose Open, and later launches are normal.
- [Move from the terminal](https://helicon.sh/guides/from-terminal-to-gui): You do not have to choose. Sessions started in the terminal show up in Helicon, resume there, and the CLI keeps working exactly as before.
