Agent — Local Agent CLI Configuration

DeepOrbit prepares context (prompts, vault state, cron instructions) and hands execution to an agent CLI on the machine. This skill detects what is installed, asks the user to choose, persists the choice in deeporbit.json (agent: section), and reports status.

Modes

Mode	Meaning	Best for
acp	Agent Client Protocol over stdio, streaming	dashboard chat, interactive runs
rpc	NDJSON RPC (omp only: omp --mode rpc)	programmatic pipelines
print	one-shot -p / exec	cron jobs, batch handoff

Workflow

1. Detect:

   deeporbit --vault . agent detect [--versions]
   

   Lists every known agent (omp, claude, gemini, codex), whether it is installed, where, and which modes it supports.

2. Ask the user which agent to use. Use the runtime's native ask form (e.g. an interactive question with one option per installed agent). Present name, description, and supported modes. Recommend the agent that supports acp when the user wants the dashboard assistant; print for pure automation. If only one agent is installed, confirm instead of asking.

3. Configure:

   deeporbit --vault . agent configure <name> [--mode acp|rpc|print]
   

   Omitting --mode picks the preferred one automatically (acp > rpc > print). The choice is validated (installed + mode supported) and saved to deeporbit.json — it syncs with the vault as a preference; detection always runs live.

4. Status:

   deeporbit --vault . agent status
   

   Shows the configured agent, whether it is actually available on this machine (available: false means the config synced to a machine without that CLI — suggest re-configuring), and the full detection table.

Where the configuration is used

• deeporbit --vault . serve — the dashboard assistant connects through the configured agent's ACP mode when --agent auto (the default).
• deeporbit --vault . cron run-due — due-job instructions are meant to be handed to the configured agent; agent status shows the exact argv.
• The dashboard's 助手 view has an Agent 配置 panel that calls the same /api/agent/config endpoints.

Guardrails

• NEVER configure an agent that detection says is not installed — tell the user how to install it instead.
• The agent: section in deeporbit.json is a preference, not machine state; never treat it as proof the CLI exists — always check available.
• agent clear removes the configuration; the dashboard then falls back to auto-detection order (omp → claude → gemini).
