# Lattices

> Windows, workspaces, terminal sessions, and voice input.

Documentation: https://lattices.dev/lattices/docs

**First check**

Lattices owns windows, tiling, spaces, workspace layers, tmux sessions, screen text, and voice input. Native app control is Action; notes are Canvas; spoken output is Voice.

Agent guide: [Agent Guide](https://lattices.dev/lattices/docs/agents/index.md).

First check (read-only): `lats call api.schema`
Expect: The daemon method list. Then read `lats call desktop.snapshot` before you move any window.

- [Device identity](https://lattices.dev/lattices/docs/security-identity.md): Each machine has one device identity: one X25519 key and one id. Lattices uses
that key for every role that needs a key. Before this change, each role kept
its own key file.
