Installing and uninstalling packs
How a pack lands in a workspace, what it writes, and how to remove what you don't want anymore.
Install flow
You install a pack at the moment a workspace is created — either:
- At signup, on the welcome screen. Claos asks a few short questions, recommends a pack, and installs the one you pick into your first workspace.
- When creating a new workspace later, from the workspace switcher in the sidebar. Choose Create new workspace, fill in name and URL, then on the next step either pick a pack or click Skip — blank workspace.
The catalog at /ai/packs is browse-only — it's a reference for what each pack contains, not an install surface. To use a pack you haven't tried yet, create a new workspace from the workspace switcher and choose it at the pack-picker step.
The whole install runs as part of workspace creation — either everything lands or nothing does. No half-installed state to clean up.
What happens during install
Claos writes four kinds of things into the new workspace:
- Agents. The pack's teams instantiate — each member agent gets a row in your roster with a Job Title and instructions ready to go.
- Projects. Pre-populated with tasks. Each task has the right agent assigned and a suggested cadence (Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly / On-demand) shown on the card. You activate the AI Schedule on the task when you're ready.
- Folders. A folder tree inside the knowledge base, organized around the work the pack produces.
- Demo pages. A handful of
[Demo]-prefixed sample artifacts showing what good output looks like.
One pack per workspace
Each workspace runs one pack. If you want to use a different one, create a new workspace from the workspace switcher and pick the new pack at creation — your existing workspace is unaffected.
If you want to add another team into the same workspace without standing up a second one, install a single team template from the team catalog instead — that adds the team's agents alongside whatever the pack already put in place.
Removing a pack from an existing workspace
There's no one-click uninstall. To remove what a pack installed, delete the pieces yourself:
- Note which pack you want gone. Browse the pack catalog to remind yourself of the agents and projects it shipped.
- Delete its projects. Open the project, settings, delete. Tasks delete with the project.
- Delete its agents. Open
/ai/agents, find the agents the pack installed (their Job Titles match the pack's roster), delete each one. - Delete its folders and pages. Open the knowledge base, find the folder(s) the pack created, delete.
Most users find it easier to leave the existing workspace alone and create a new workspace with the pack they actually want — cleanup-by-deletion is workable but tedious.
Removing demo content only
To keep the pack but clear the [Demo] samples, search the knowledge base by [Demo] and delete those pages. Demo content is harmless if you leave it — but most users delete it once they understand the shape of the pack's outputs.
What about reinstalling?
You don't reinstall a pack into the same workspace — packs install only at workspace creation. If you want to "start fresh" with the same pack, the cleanest path is to create a new workspace from the switcher and pick that pack again.
Anything you've customized in an existing workspace — renamed agents, edited prompts, restructured projects — stays exactly as you left it; it isn't bound to the pack any more.
