Jiayuan 7f25378e4b feat(cli): add binary build support for interactive CLI
Add esbuild-based build script to bundle CLI tools into standalone
binaries that can be run directly with node. The built binaries
externalize dependencies to keep bundle size small and avoid
bundling issues with native modules.

Getting Started

pnpm install

Environment Configuration

The Agent requires LLM provider credentials. Copy the example and fill in your values:

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your API keys

Example .env for OpenAI:

export LLM_PROVIDER=openai
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxx
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1
export OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4o

Load the environment before starting services that use the Agent:

# Hub Console (requires LLM env vars)
source .env && pnpm dev:console

# Agent CLI
source .env && pnpm agent:cli "hello"

# Gateway (no LLM env vars needed)
pnpm dev:gateway

See .env.example for all supported providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Kimi, Groq, Mistral, etc.).

Configuration Priority

Each setting is resolved in order (first match wins):

  1. CLI argument--provider, --model, --api-key, --base-url
  2. Environment variableLLM_PROVIDER, OPENAI_MODEL, OPENAI_API_KEY, OPENAI_BASE_URL, etc.
  3. Session metadata — restored from previous session
  4. Defaultkimi-coding provider with kimi-k2-thinking model

Agent CLI

Use the agent module directly from the CLI for isolated testing.

# New sessions get a UUIDv7 ID (shown on start)
pnpm agent:cli "hello"
# [session: 019c0b0a-b111-765c-8bbd-f4149beac9c4]

# Continue a session
pnpm agent:cli --session 019c0b0a-b111-765c-8bbd-f4149beac9c4 "what did I say?"

# Or use a custom session name
pnpm agent:cli --session demo "remember my name is Alice"
pnpm agent:cli --session demo "what's my name?"

# Override provider/model
pnpm agent:cli --provider openai --model gpt-4o-mini "hi"

# Use an agent profile
pnpm agent:cli --profile my-agent "hello"

# Set thinking level
pnpm agent:cli --thinking high "solve this complex problem"

Sessions

Sessions persist conversation history to ~/.super-multica/sessions/<id>/. Each session includes:

  • session.jsonl - Message history in JSONL format
  • meta.json - Session metadata (provider, model, thinking level)

Sessions use UUIDv7 for IDs by default, providing time-ordered unique identifiers.

Context Window Management

The agent automatically manages context windows to prevent token overflow:

  • Token-aware compaction - Tracks token usage and compacts when approaching limits
  • Compaction modes: tokens (default), count (legacy), summary (LLM-generated)
  • Configurable safety margins - Ensures space for responses
  • Minimum message preservation - Keeps recent context intact

Agent Profiles

Agent profiles define identity, personality, tools, and memory for an agent. Profiles are stored as markdown files in ~/.super-multica/agent-profiles/<id>/.

Profile CLI

# Create a new profile with default templates
pnpm agent:profile new my-agent

# List all profiles
pnpm agent:profile list

# Show profile contents
pnpm agent:profile show my-agent

# Open profile directory in file manager
pnpm agent:profile edit my-agent

Profile Structure

Each profile contains:

  • identity.md - Agent name and role
  • soul.md - Personality and behavioral constraints
  • tools.md - Tool usage instructions
  • memory.md - Persistent knowledge
  • bootstrap.md - Initial conversation context

Skills

Skills are modular capabilities that extend agent functionality. They are defined in SKILL.md files with YAML frontmatter.

Built-in Skills

Located in /skills/:

  • commit - Git commit helper following conventional commits
  • code-review - Code review assistance

(markdown instructions for the agent)

Eligibility Filtering

Skills can specify requirements:

  • requiresBinaries - Required CLI tools
  • requiresEnvVars - Required environment variables
  • platforms - Supported platforms (darwin, linux, win32)

Skills are automatically filtered based on the current environment.

Agent Tools

exec

Execute short-lived shell commands and return output. Commands running longer than the timeout are automatically backgrounded.

exec({ command: "ls -la", cwd: "/path/to/dir", timeoutMs: 30000 })

process

Manage long-running background processes (servers, watchers, daemons). Output is buffered (up to 64KB) and terminated processes are automatically cleaned up after 1 hour.

# Start a background process (returns immediately with process ID)
process({ action: "start", command: "npm run dev" })

# Check process status
process({ action: "status", id: "<process-id>" })

# Read process output
process({ action: "output", id: "<process-id>" })

# Stop a process
process({ action: "stop", id: "<process-id>" })

# Clean up terminated processes
process({ action: "cleanup" })

glob

Pattern-based file discovery using fast-glob.

glob({ pattern: "**/*.ts", cwd: "/path/to/dir" })

web_fetch

Fetch and extract content from URLs with intelligent content extraction.

# Basic fetch (returns markdown)
web_fetch({ url: "https://example.com" })

# With options
web_fetch({
  url: "https://example.com",
  outputFormat: "markdown",  # or "text"
  extractor: "readability"   # or "turndown" for full page
})

Features: SSRF protection, response caching, max 50KB output.

Search the web using Brave or Perplexity AI.

# Basic search
web_search({ query: "typescript best practices" })

# With provider options
web_search({
  query: "latest AI news",
  provider: "brave",     # or "perplexity"
  count: 5,
  freshness: "pw"        # past week (Brave: pd/pw/pm/py)
})

Distributed Architecture

Gateway

The WebSocket gateway enables distributed multi-agent communication:

  • Real-time message passing between agents
  • Streaming support for long-running operations
  • RPC-style request/response patterns

Hub

The Hub manages multiple agents and gateway connections:

  • Agent lifecycle management
  • Communication channel coordination
  • Device identification and tracking

Scripts

Agent Commands

  • pnpm agent:cli - Run the agent CLI for module-level testing
  • pnpm agent:interactive - Interactive REPL mode
  • pnpm agent:profile - Manage agent profiles

Development

  • pnpm dev - Run full stack in development mode
  • pnpm dev:gateway - Run gateway only
  • pnpm dev:console - Run console only
  • pnpm dev:web - Run web app only

Build & Test

  • pnpm build - Build for production
  • pnpm build:sdk - Build SDK package
  • pnpm start - Run production build
