Lycana doesn't run an agent itself. Agent access is for the agents you already use: you connect one to your Lycana account, and it works on your diagrams through the same nodes, links, boundaries, and notes you do.

What a connected agent can doCopy Anchor Link

• Read your diagrams. It can list the diagrams you can open and read any of them.
• See your selection. It can see which diagram you have open and which objects you have selected, so you can ask it to "explain this" or "change these".
• Create diagrams. It can start a new, empty diagram in your personal diagrams or in an organization you belong to.
• Change nodes, links, boundaries, and notes. It adds, changes, moves, and removes them directly. It doesn't send commands, and its changes don't use your AI command or voice allowances.
• Work at any depth. It can open any subcanvas, give a node a subcanvas, and see where each canvas sits in its diagram.
• Find objects. It can find any object by its name, description, or the file it describes, on every level of a diagram, without opening each canvas. It can also read an outline of a diagram's levels.
• Map a codebase down to the file. A node can name the file, folder, or code it describes, so a diagram can map a codebase level by level, down to individual files. When the agent maps the code again, after a refactor for example, it updates the nodes and links already there instead of adding duplicates.

Two ways to connectCopy Anchor Link

Both offer the same abilities. Use whichever your agent speaks.

How its changes arriveCopy Anchor Link

When you approve an agent, you choose how its changes reach your diagrams:

• Propose, the default: each change waits on the canvas until you accept or reject it.
• Full access: changes appear as your agent makes them, and you can undo any of them.

Removing more than three objects or clearing a canvas always waits for you, in either mode. Propose and Full access explains both, and how to change the setting.

While an agent works on a diagram, the canvas toolbar names it, such as "Claude Code is editing". Its changes appear on the canvas as they happen. If you are dragging, resizing, or editing text at the time, a change waits and appears as soon as you finish.

Agent changes join the diagram's history, so you can undo them like any other change. Agents can't undo.

When the diagram changedCopy Anchor Link

If the diagram changed after the agent read it, the agent's change still applies unless it touches an object that changed. In that case Lycana rejects the change, and the agent reads the diagram again and redoes it. Moving objects or rearranging the layout never causes a rejection.

Free and Lycana ProCopy Anchor Link

Connecting an agent is free.

• On Free, your agents work on your one saved diagram. An agent can create that diagram if you don't have one yet. If it tries to create another, Lycana refuses and tells it that Lycana Pro keeps more than one diagram, with the price, so it can tell you.
• With Lycana Pro, your agents can work across all your diagrams.

When Lycana Pro ends, your connections keep working within the Free plan's limits. Agents can't change diagrams that have become read-only.

OrganizationsCopy Anchor Link

An agent can work on any diagram you can open: your personal diagrams, and those of every organization you belong to. It chooses one for each request.

• In an organization, an agent can do only what you could do there yourself, and the organization's plan must be active.
• When an agent starts editing an organization's diagram, it takes the diagram's edit lock for you, so you don't need to have the diagram open. Teammates see you as editing, together with the agent's name. The lock is released shortly after the agent stops.
• If a teammate is editing the diagram, the agent's change is refused and the agent is told who is editing.
• You can still open and edit a diagram while your own agent holds its lock.
• Teammates aren't blocked by your agent's proposals. If a teammate changes an object a proposal touches, the proposal can no longer be accepted, and you are told why.

Rate limitsCopy Anchor Link

Lycana limits how quickly one account's agents can change diagrams: up to 120 changes a minute, in bursts of up to 60, across all of the account's agents. An agent that goes over is told how long to wait before trying again.

Manage your agentsCopy Anchor Link

Every agent you connect appears in Settings → Connected agents, with whether it uses Propose or Full access and when it last worked. You can change its setting or remove it there. Removing an agent rejects its pending proposals and stops it working at once.

Agents can't see or change Grind practice diagrams.
