Summary

  • add a first-use guide for the PentAGI web UI after installation and login
  • document the initial Flows -> New Flow workflow for both Automation and Assistant modes
  • explain how to use templates and where to find report output in the flow UI

Problem

Issue #61 points out that the repository explains how to install PentAGI, but not how to actually start using it once the web UI is available.

Right now the README covers deployment, provider setup, API access, and advanced configuration, but it does not give new users a simple path from "I can log in" to "I can run my first useful flow."

Solution

Add a README-only onboarding section between Quick Start and API Access that walks through the first practical user workflow:

  • open Flows and create a new flow
  • choose between Automation and Assistant
  • select a provider and write the goal in natural language
  • optionally apply a saved template, with examples/prompts/base_web_pentest.md as a concrete starting point
  • review results from the flow page and export reports from the Report menu

This keeps the contribution small while making the existing UI much easier to approach for first-time users.

User Impact

New users can move from installation to their first useful assessment without digging through the codebase or guessing how the UI is meant to be used. The README now provides a clearer bridge between setup and day-to-day usage.

Closes #61.

Test Plan

  • Verified the new section title and Table of Contents anchor match
  • Verified README terminology against the current UI (Flows, New Flow, Automation, Assistant, Templates, Report)
  • Verified the example prompt link points to examples/prompts/base_web_pentest.md
  • Verified the text does not claim any new runtime behavior or UI changes
  • git diff --check
