@agentage/cli

CLI and daemon for the Agentage control plane. Discovers local agents, executes them, and connects to the hub for multi-machine orchestration.

Installation

npm install -g @agentage/cli

Quick Start

# Start the daemon (discovers agents, exposes REST API)
agentage daemon

# List discovered agents
agentage agents

# Run an agent
agentage run my-agent "Summarize this project"

# Check daemon + hub status
agentage status

Daemon

The daemon is a lightweight Express server that runs on each machine. It discovers local agents, executes them, and optionally syncs with a central hub.

API

Method	Endpoint	Description
GET	/api/health	Status, version, uptime, machine ID, hub connection
GET	/api/agents	List discovered agent manifests
POST	/api/agents/refresh	Re-scan agent directories
POST	/api/agents/:name/run	Execute an agent ({ task, config?, context? })
GET	/api/runs	List all runs
GET	/api/runs/:id	Get run details + output
POST	/api/runs/:id/cancel	Cancel a running execution
POST	/api/runs/:id/input	Send input to a waiting agent

Default port: 3100

Agent Discovery

The daemon scans configured directories for agents:

~/.agentage/agents/*.agent.md    # Global agents
.agentage/agents/*.agent.md      # Workspace agents

Two built-in factories: markdown (.agent.md files with YAML frontmatter) and code (TypeScript/JavaScript modules exporting an Agent).

Hub Sync

When authenticated (agentage login), the daemon connects to the hub via WebSocket — registering the machine, syncing agents, and relaying run events.

Method	Endpoint	Description
GET	/api/hub/machines	List all hub-connected machines
GET	/api/hub/agents	Aggregated agents across all machines
POST	/api/hub/runs	Start a run on any connected machine

CLI Commands

Command	Description

agentage run <name> [task]	Execute an agent
agentage runs	List runs
agentage machines	List hub-connected machines
agentage status	Show daemon and hub status
agentage logs	View daemon logs
