Stagewise Tutorial: Frontend Coding Agent Workflows in Real Browser Context

Learn how to use stagewise-io/stagewise to connect browser-selected UI context with coding agents, plugin extensions, and multi-agent bridge workflows.

Why This Track Matters

Stagewise addresses a common pain in frontend AI coding: translating visual UI context into precise prompts and edits. Its browser toolbar, CLI proxy, bridge mode, and plugin system provide a strong architecture for production frontend workflows.

This track focuses on:

• running Stagewise quickly in active frontend projects
• understanding proxy + toolbar + agent bridge architecture
• extending behavior with plugins and custom agent integrations
• operating troubleshooting and contribution workflows in a monorepo environment
