What is a Quackshell link?

A Quackshell link is a temporary browser URL for local work. It lets you open an app, file, report, video, or generated preview that is being served from a local machine or remote coding agent workspace.

What is a qshell link?

A qshell link is shorthand for a Quackshell link. If you ask an agent for a qshell link, you are asking it to expose the local preview through Quackshell and send you the temporary browser URL.

How long does the link work?

The link works while the local server and Quackshell session are running. Stop either one and the preview stops working.

Is it public?

It is reachable from a browser while active, but the URL is signed and random. Keep it private if the content is private.

Is it a deployment?

No. A Quackshell link is a preview, not a deploy. It is not intended for long-running public endpoints, production traffic, or stable public URLs.

What can it show?

Anything the local machine can serve over HTTP: frontend apps, generated HTML, dashboards, PDFs, images, videos, static folders, and local reports.

What should I ask my agent?

Please preview this project with Quackshell.
Please give me a qshell link.
