Help with Origami Coder.
Origami Coder is a coding agent. It runs against a model that you host, or against a cloud provider. Not released yet, so there is no download link today. The pages below answer the questions that come up first; the documentation holds the full reference.
Start here
Four things to get a first answer.
http://localhost:1234/v1 is the default. Ollama uses http://localhost:11434/v1. Any other OpenAI-compatible server works with a provider block written by hand.origami.engineUrl in VS Code. The URL must end in /v1. It overrides the ORIGAMI_API_BASE environment variable.origami.init, titled “Origami: Get Started”. It opens the chat and runs /firstfold, which writes AGENTS.md, a wiki, commands and skills. Existing files are skipped, never overwritten, so you can run it again.origami serve and origami web.FAQ
What people hit first.
The model is unreachable
The banner has four states: ok, probing, offline-local and offline-remote. The local state means the loopback LM Studio server has no model loaded.
Check three things: the server runs, a model is loaded, and origami.engineUrl ends in /v1. More in Troubleshooting →
A long local request stops before it answers
A self-hosted endpoint gets a default chunk timeout and header timeout of 300000 milliseconds. A cloud endpoint gets neither. A large prefill on local hardware can run for minutes before the first token.
Raise options.chunkTimeout and options.headerTimeout in the provider block, or set them to false to remove the limit. Local models →
The context meter shows nothing
A local server often reports zero for the window size. The meter reads zero as “not known” and keeps the last real value, and the extension probes the server for the true size.
The fill bar has three bands: 80 percent or more is high, 60 percent or more is middle, below that is low.
My configuration file is refused
An unknown key at the top level stops the load with the message Unrecognized key(s). The message names the key. Note that theme, keybinds and tui belong in tui.json, not in origami.json.
Print what the engine really read with origami debug config and origami debug paths. Configuration →
Where are my settings and sessions kept?
~/.origami is the product home: bin/, sessions/, skills/, settings.toml, global plans and global memory. The engine reads origami.json or origami.jsonc; the global directory also accepts the older name config.json.
The command origami debug paths prints every path. Install →
A change I made does not appear
Origami Coder ships as two programs, built and installed separately. The user interface is packages/vscode/ and installs as a .vsix. The agent runtime is packages/engine/ and installs as a binary at ~/.origami/bin/origami.exe.
Rebuilding one does nothing for the other. A deploy also cannot replace an engine that an open window already started; start a new session or reload the window.
How do agents pass work to each other?
With tools, not with text. Inside a collab turn an agent calls ask (the target runs a full turn and the answer returns) or handoff (the work passes and the caller's turn ends). An @name written inside a sentence is a reference, and it wakes nobody.
One agent holds the lead seat. An unaddressed human message goes to the lead alone. Collab →
How do I see what went wrong?
Start with logs: origami --print-logs --log-level DEBUG. The output channel of the extension records which engine started.
Requirements are Bun 1.3.14 to build, and VS Code ^1.106.0 to run the extension. Troubleshooting →

Help with Origami.
Origami is one self-contained file and a single extension — so there isn't much to go wrong. Here's how to get set up, the handful of things people ask about, and where to reach a human.
Start here
Up and running in a minute.
.origami.html files you double-click, go to chrome://extensions → Origami Folio → Details → turn on “Allow access to file URLs”..origami.html file to open it in the Studio.FAQ
The handful of things people ask.
My file opened as code, not a deck
Origami needs permission to read local files. In chrome://extensions, open Origami Folio → Details → enable “Allow access to file URLs”, then reopen the file.
There's a padlock and things won't run
A deck you didn't author opens locked and sandboxed for your safety — scripts and remote embeds are held. Read, present and print freely; click the padlock to unlock if you trust the sender. More on security →
Go Live won't start, or my phone can't see it
Go Live needs the small companion app installed, and both devices on the same local network. Re-open the Go Live panel for the address and QR code, and check a firewall isn't blocking the local port.
How do I get a PowerPoint, Word or PDF out?
Use Export in the Studio. PowerPoint (.pptx) ships today and runs entirely on your device — nothing is uploaded. For a PDF, use your browser's Print → Save as PDF. Word is on the roadmap.
My edit didn't save
If the file was created by someone else, the first save asks you to confirm before overwriting (a safety check) — choose to overwrite and you're set. Also make sure “Allow access to file URLs” is on.
Is my data private?
Yes. No accounts, no analytics, no network requests — your documents and settings stay on your device. Read the privacy policy →
Will my file still open in years?
Yes. It's plain HTML with the fonts, data and viewer embedded; any modern browser opens it offline, with no Origami installed.
Which browsers work?
The Studio is a Chrome extension — Chrome, Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers. The .origami.html files it makes open in any modern browser.

Velkarn: The Darklands is pre-alpha. There is no build to install and no player support to give.
What you can do
Watch it come together.
The game page carries the current state of the work: the world, the dev kit, and a Follow for the reveal link. The sizzle reel comes after dev-kit sign-off.
If you have an idea for the game, or you want to write to us about it, use the form below. It reaches the same place as everything else.
File it
