# The Agency assistant agent

*Work in progress*

```
agency agent
```

Launches the Agency language assistant agent — an LLM agent that knows about Agency's syntax, standard library, and idioms. You can ask it to write Agency code, explain language features, debug an error, or walk through a piece of code with you.

This is a convenient way to get help with Agency without leaving your terminal.
