# OpenFang CLI Reference

Complete command-line reference for `openfang`, the CLI tool for the OpenFang Agent OS.

## Overview

The `openfang` binary is the primary interface for managing the OpenFang Agent OS. It supports two modes of operation:

- **Daemon mode** -- When a daemon is running (`openfang start`), CLI commands communicate with it over HTTP. This is the recommended mode for production use.
- **In-process mode** -- When no daemon is detected, commands that support it will boot an ephemeral in-process kernel. Agents spawned in this mode are not persisted and will be lost when the process exits.

Running `openfang` with no subcommand launches the interactive TUI (terminal user interface) built with ratatui, which provides a full dashboard experience in the terminal.

## Installation

### From source (cargo)

```bash
cargo install --path crates/openfang-cli
```

### Build from workspace

```bash
cargo build --release -p openfang-cli
# Binary: target/release/openfang (or openfang.exe on Windows)
```

### Docker

```bash
docker run -it openfang/openfang:latest
```

### Shell installer

```bash
curl -fsSL https://get.openfang.ai | sh
```

## Global Options

These options apply to all commands.

| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| `--config <PATH>` | Path to a custom config file. Overrides the default `~/.openfang/config.toml`. |
| `--help` | Print help information for any command or subcommand. |
| `--version` | Print the version of the `openfang` binary. |

**Environment variables:**

| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| `RUST_LOG` | Controls log verbosity (e.g. `info`, `debug`, `openfang_kernel=trace`). |
| `OPENFANG_AGENTS_DIR` | Override the agent templates directory. |
| `EDITOR` / `VISUAL` | Editor used by `openfang config edit`. Falls back to `notepad` (Windows) or `vi` (Unix). |

---

## Command Reference

### openfang (no subcommand)

Launch the interactive TUI dashboard.

```
openfang [--config <PATH>]
```

The TUI provides a full-screen terminal interface with panels for agents, chat, workflows, channels, skills, settings, and more. Tracing output is redirected to `~/.openfang/tui.log` to avoid corrupting the terminal display.

Press `Ctrl+C` to exit. A second `Ctrl+C` force-exits the process.

---

### openfang init

Initialize the OpenFang workspace. Creates `~/.openfang/` with subdirectories (`data/`, `agents/`) and a default `config.toml`.

```
openfang init [--quick]
```

**Options:**

| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| `--quick` | Skip interactive prompts. Auto-detects the best available LLM provider and writes config immediately. Suitable for CI/scripts. |

**Behavior:**

- Without `--quick`: Launches an interactive 5-step onboarding wizard (ratatui TUI) that walks through provider selection, API key configuration, and optionally starts the daemon.
- With `--quick`: Auto-detects providers by checking environment variables in priority order: Groq, Gemini, DeepSeek, Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter. Falls back to Groq if none are found.
- File permissions are restricted to owner-only (`0600` for files, `0700` for directories) on Unix.

**Example:**

```bash
# Interactive setup
openfang init

# Non-interactive (CI/scripts)
export GROQ_API_KEY="gsk_..."
openfang init --quick
```

---

### openfang start

Start the OpenFang daemon (kernel + API server).

```
openfang start [--config <PATH>]
```

**Behavior:**

- Checks if a daemon is already running; exits with an error if so.
- Boots the OpenFang kernel (loads config, initializes SQLite database, loads agents, connects MCP servers, starts background tasks).
- Starts the HTTP API server on the address specified in `config.toml` (default: `127.0.0.1:4200`).
- Writes `daemon.json` to `~/.openfang/` so other CLI commands can discover the running daemon.
- Blocks until interrupted with `Ctrl+C`.

**Output:**

```
  OpenFang Agent OS v0.1.0

  Starting daemon...

  [ok] Kernel booted (groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile)
  [ok] 50 models available
  [ok] 3 agent(s) loaded

  API:        http://127.0.0.1:4200
  Dashboard:  http://127.0.0.1:4200/
  Provider:   groq
  Model:      llama-3.3-70b-versatile

  hint: Open the dashboard in your browser, or run `openfang chat`
  hint: Press Ctrl+C to stop the daemon
```

**Example:**

```bash
# Start with default config
openfang start

# Start with custom config
openfang start --config /path/to/config.toml
```

---

### openfang status

Show the current kernel/daemon status.

```
openfang status [--json]
```

**Options:**

| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| `--json` | Output machine-readable JSON for scripting. |

**Behavior:**

- If a daemon is running: queries `GET /api/status` and displays agent count, provider, model, uptime, API URL, data directory, and lists active agents.
- If no daemon is running: boots an in-process kernel and shows persisted state. Displays a warning that the daemon is not running.

**Example:**

```bash
openfang status

openfang status --json | jq '.agent_count'
```

---

### openfang doctor

Run diagnostic checks on the OpenFang installation.

```
openfang doctor [--json] [--repair]
```

**Options:**

| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| `--json` | Output results as JSON for scripting. |
| `--repair` | Attempt to auto-fix issues (create missing directories, config, remove stale files). Prompts for confirmation before each repair. |

**Checks performed:**

1. **OpenFang directory** -- `~/.openfang/` exists
2. **.env file** -- exists and has correct permissions (0600 on Unix)
3. **Config TOML syntax** -- `config.toml` parses without errors
4. **Daemon status** -- whether a daemon is running
5. **Port 4200 availability** -- if daemon is not running, checks if the port is free
6. **Stale daemon.json** -- leftover `daemon.json` from a crashed daemon
7. **Database file** -- SQLite magic bytes validation
8. **Disk space** -- warns if less than 100MB available (Unix only)
9. **Agent manifests** -- validates all `.toml` files in `~/.openfang/agents/`
10. **LLM provider keys** -- checks env vars for 10 providers (Groq, OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Gemini, Google, Together, Mistral, Fireworks), performs live validation (401/403 detection)
11. **Channel tokens** -- format validation for Telegram, Discord, Slack tokens
12. **Config consistency** -- checks that `api_key_env` references in config match actual environment variables
13. **Rust toolchain** -- `rustc --version`

**Example:**

```bash
openfang doctor

openfang doctor --repair

openfang doctor --json
```

---

### openfang dashboard

Open the web dashboard in the default browser.

```
openfang dashboard
```

**Behavior:**

- Requires a running daemon.
- Opens the daemon URL (e.g. `http://127.0.0.1:4200/`) in the system browser.
- Copies the URL to the system clipboard (uses PowerShell on Windows, `pbcopy` on macOS, `xclip`/`xsel` on Linux).

**Example:**

```bash
openfang dashboard
```

---

```bash
openfang config delete-key openai
```

---

### openfang config test-key

Test provider connectivity with the stored API key.

```
openfang config test-key <PROVIDER>
```

**Arguments:**

| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| `<PROVIDER>` | Provider name. |

**Behavior:**

- Reads the API key from the environment (loaded from `~/.openfang/.env`).
- Hits the provider's models/health endpoint.
- Reports `OK` (key accepted) or `FAILED (401/403)` (key rejected).

```
openfang chat [<AGENT>]
```

**Arguments:**

| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| `<AGENT>` | Optional agent name or UUID. |

**Behavior:**

- **Daemon mode:** Finds the agent by name or ID among running agents. If no agent name is given, uses the first available agent. If no agents exist, suggests `openfang agent new`.
- **Standalone mode (no daemon):** Boots an in-process kernel and auto-spawns an agent from templates. Searches for an agent matching the given name, then falls back to `assistant`, then to the first available template.

This is the simplest way to start chatting -- it works with or without a daemon.

**Example:**

```bash
# Chat with the default agent
openfang chat

# Chat with a specific agent by name
openfang chat coder

# Chat with a specific agent by UUID
openfang chat a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890

|---|---|
| `--from <FRAMEWORK>` | Source framework. One of: `openclaw`, `langchain`, `autogpt`. |
| `--source-dir <PATH>` | Path to the source workspace. Auto-detected if not set (e.g. `~/.openclaw`, `~/.langchain`, `~/Auto-GPT`). |
| `--dry-run` | Show what would be imported without making changes. |

**Behavior:**

- Converts agent configurations, YAML manifests, and settings from the source framework into OpenFang format.
- Saves imported data to `~/.openfang/`.
- Writes a `migration_report.md` summarizing what was imported.

**Example:**

```bash
# Dry run migration from OpenClaw
openfang migrate --from openclaw --dry-run

# Migrate from OpenClaw (auto-detect source)
openfang migrate --from openclaw

# Migrate from LangChain with explicit source
openfang migrate --from langchain --source-dir /home/user/.langchain

# Migrate from AutoGPT
openfang migrate --from autogpt
```

---

## MCP Server

### openfang mcp

Start an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server over stdio.

```
openfang mcp
```

**Behavior:**

- Exposes running OpenFang agents as MCP tools via JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdin/stdout with Content-Length framing.
- Each agent becomes a callable tool named `openfang_agent_<name>` (hyphens replaced with underscores).
- Connects to a running daemon via HTTP if available; otherwise boots an in-process kernel.
- Protocol version: `2024-11-05`.
- Maximum message size: 10MB (security limit).

**Supported MCP methods:**

| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| `initialize` | Returns server capabilities and info. |
| `tools/list` | Lists all available agent tools. |
| `tools/call` | Sends a message to an agent and returns the response. |

**Tool input schema:**

Each agent tool accepts a single `message` (string) argument.

**Integration with Claude Desktop / other MCP clients:**

Add to your MCP client configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openfang": {
      "command": "openfang",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

---

## Daemon Auto-Detect

The CLI uses a two-step mechanism to detect a running daemon:

1. **Read `daemon.json`:** On startup, the daemon writes `~/.openfang/daemon.json` containing the listen address (e.g. `127.0.0.1:4200`). The CLI reads this file to learn where the daemon is.

2. **Health check:** The CLI sends `GET http://<listen_addr>/api/health` with a 2-second timeout. If the health check succeeds, the daemon is considered running and the CLI uses HTTP to communicate with it.

If either step fails (no `daemon.json`, stale file, health check timeout), the CLI falls back to in-process mode for commands that support it. Commands that require a daemon (workflows, triggers, channel test/enable/disable, dashboard) will exit with an error and a helpful message.

**Daemon lifecycle:**

```
openfang start          # Starts daemon, writes daemon.json
                        # Other CLI instances detect daemon.json
openfang status         # Connects to daemon via HTTP
Ctrl+C                  # Daemon shuts down, daemon.json removed

openfang doctor --repair  # Cleans up stale daemon.json from crashes
```

---

## Environment File

OpenFang loads `~/.openfang/.env` into the process environment on every CLI invocation. System environment variables take priority over `.env` values.

The `.env` file stores API keys and secrets:

```bash
GROQ_API_KEY=gsk_...
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
GEMINI_API_KEY=AIza...
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=123456:ABC-DEF...
```

Manage keys with the `config set-key` / `config delete-key` commands rather than editing the file directly, as these commands enforce correct permissions.

---

## Exit Codes

| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `0` | Success. |
| `1` | General error (invalid arguments, failed operations, missing daemon, parse errors, spawn failures). |
| `130` | Interrupted by second `Ctrl+C` (force exit). |

---

## Examples
