+ ### v0.0.8 (Released - April 15, 2026)
4
+ - **lib/genericToolset.js Timeout Refinements**: Switched `execute_bash_script` to @j-o-r/sh `.options({timeout: ms}).run()` with heredoc delimiter for verbatim multi-line bash_script safety. Default 360s (resets on stdout/stderr output for true idle detection only), SIGTERM on expiry. `execute_remote_script` stdin pipe preserved. Tests: success, sleep timeout (3s<7s), exit1 error, interactive `read -p` no hang.
5
+ - **TODO.md Cleanup**: Archived all completed tasks (timeout refinements, prior v0.0.7 carryovers) to `docs/todo-archive-v0.0.8.md`. Pending changelog task completed here. Clean post-release state.
6
+ - **.npmignore & package-lock.json**: Minor updates for cleaner packaging.
7
+ - **Release Prep**: `package.json` bumped to v0.0.8. `npm run release` ready (types + pack to `./release/`).

Fixed one-shot hallucination/no-deploy via verbatim AGENT BLUEPRINT TEMPLATE, temp_agent.js validation (syntax/blueprint checks), PROJECT auto-deploy (write/mv/chmod/test/rm), FRESH manual code/bash. Robust fetchLivePrompt() (live MD full-load + fallbacks). CodeServer/PM2 awareness (LAUNCH_MODE detect, client connect hints).

+ # AgentManager (\`lib/AgentManager.js\`)
2
+
3
+ ## Overview
4
+ **AgentManager** is the central orchestrator class in the hello-dave framework. It manages agent lifecycle: setup (prompts, API, tools, sessions), execution modes (CLI, direct calls, WebSocket server/client), and tool integration. Designed for simplicity and extensibility, it abstracts LLM providers (\`xai\`, \`gpt\`, \`claude\`), \`Prompt.js\`, \`ToolSet.js\`, and \`Session.js\`.
5
+
6
+ **Uses named exports from \`lib/index.js\` - NO default export.**
7
+
8
+ Key Features:
9
+ - **Modes**: Interactive CLI, one-shot \`directCall\`, WS **server** (expose agent as tool), **client** (attach to remote server), hybrid (server + client).
10
+ - **Tool Handling**: Pre-configured (\`toolsetMode: 'auto'\`/\`'required'\`), generics (\`addGenericToolcall\`), custom \`ToolSet\`.
11
+ - **Persistence**: Sessions in \`.cache/[name]/\` (NDJSON logs).
12
+ - **Networking**: WS with optional \`secret\` auth (base64-encoded).
13
+ - **Validation**: Strict name regex \`/^[a-z_0-9_]{2,}$/\`.
14
+ - **Events**: Leverages \`Prompt\` events (e.g., \`reset\` → server resetAll).
15
+
16
+ Exports: \`{ AgentManager }\` (named).
17
+
18
+ ## Agent Naming Rules ⚠️
19
+ **CRITICAL**: The \`name\` (constructor) and \`toolName\` (in \`start()\`) **MUST** match regex \`/^[a-z_0-9_]{2,}$/\`:
20
+ - Lowercase \`a-z\`, digits \`0-9\`, \`_\` **only**.
21
+ - **Minimum 2 characters**.
22
+
23
+ **Valid ✅**:
24
+ - \`myagent\`
25
+ - \`chatbot\`
26
+ - \`weather_agent\`
27
+ - \`tool123\`
28
+ - \`ws_client\`
29
+
30
+ **Invalid ❌ (throws \`Error\`)**:
31
+ - \`MyAgent\` (uppercase)
32
+ - \`agent-v1\` (hyphen)
33
+ - \`a\` (too short)
34
+ - \`agent#tool\` (\`#\` invalid)
35
+ - \`Agent_\` (uppercase)
36
+
37
+ **Why?** Safe for folders, tool names, filesystems (no specials/caps/spaces).
38
+
39
+ ## Quick Usage
40
+ \`\`\`javascript
41
+ import { AgentManager } from '@j-o-r/hello-dave';
42
+
43
+ const agent = new AgentManager({ name: 'myagent', secret: 'mysecret' });
44
+ agent.setup({
45
+ prompt: 'You are a helpful coding assistant.',
46
+ api: 'xai',
47
+ options: { model: 'grok-4-fast-reasoning' },
48
+ toolsetMode: 'auto',
49
+ contextWindow: 128000
50
+ });
51
+ agent.addGenericToolcall('execute_bash_script');
52
+
53
+ await agent.start(); // Interactive CLI mode
54
+ // Or: await agent.directCall('Write a Bash script'); // One-shot (pair with readIn for piped CLI)
55
+ // Or: await agent.start(8000); // WS server on port 8000

109
+
110
+ ## Examples
111
+
112
+ ### 1. Interactive CLI Agent
113
+ \`\`\`javascript
114
+ import { AgentManager } from '@j-o-r/hello-dave';
115
+
116
+ const agent = new AgentManager({ name: 'chatbot' });
117
+ agent.setup({
118
+ prompt: 'You are a friendly chatbot.',
119
+ api: 'xai',
120
+ toolsetMode: 'auto'
121
+ });
122
+ await agent.start('Chatbot ready!'); // Interactive chat loop
123
+ \`\`\`
124
+
125
+ ### 2. WS Server (Expose as Tool)
126
+ \`\`\`javascript
127
+ import { AgentManager } from '@j-o-r/hello-dave';
128
+
129
+ agent.setup({ ... });
130
+ await agent.start(8000, undefined, undefined, 'weathertool', 'Get real-time weather');
131
+ \`\`\`
132
+ - Clients: \`npx @j-o-r/hello-dave dave --connect ws://localhost:8000/ws --secret mysecret\`
133
+
134
+ ### 3. Hybrid + Direct Call
135
+ \`\`\`javascript
136
+ import { AgentManager } from '@j-o-r/hello-dave';
137
+
138
+ await agent.start(8001, 'ws://other:8000/ws'); // Server on 8001 + client to other
139
+ const resp = await agent.directCall('Hybrid query'); // Uses attached tools too
140
+ \`\`\`
141
+
142
+ ### 4. Custom Tools + Generics
143
+ \`\`\`javascript
144
+ import { AgentManager } from '@j-o-r/hello-dave';
145
+
146
+ agent.setup({ toolsetMode: 'required' });
147
+ const ts = agent.getToolset();
148
+ ts.add('custommath', 'Add numbers', {
149
+ type: 'object', properties: {a: {type: 'number'}, b: {type: 'number'}},
150
+ required: ['a', 'b']
151
+ }, async ({a, b}) => a + b);
152
+ agent.addGenericToolcall('javascript_interpreter');
153
+ \`\`\`
154
+
155
+ ### 5. CLI One-Shot Piped Usage (Scripts/Cron)
156
+ Uses \`@j-o-r/sh\` (\`readIn()\`, \`parseArgs()\`) + \`AgentManager.directCall()\` for fast, single-turn queries from stdin. **Detects piped input vs interactive** (empty stdin → help). Ideal for bash pipelines, cron jobs, automation.
157
+
158
+ **Boilerplate Snippet** (see \`agents/grok_agent.js\`, \`agents/docs_agent.js\` etc.):
159
+ \`\`\`javascript
160
+ #!/usr/bin/env node
161
+ import { AgentManager } from '@j-o-r/hello-dave';
162

218
+ cat data.txt | agents/docs_agent.js --model grok-4 | jq .

221
+ **Interactive vs Piped**:
222
+ | Mode | Invocation | Behavior |
223
+ |------|------------|----------|
224
+ | **Interactive** | \`agent.start()\` | Chat loop (multi-turn, until Ctrl+C). |
225
+ | **Piped** | \`readIn() + directCall()\` | Single response, fast exit. Stdin empty → help. |
226
+
227
+ **Suitability**: Cron/CLI automation (lightweight, no server). Complements WS modes.
228
+
229
+ **Cross-Ref**: [README.md#cli-one-shot-with-example-agents](../README.md#cli-one-shot-with-example-agents) (\`agents/*.js\` ready-to-run).
230
+
231
+ ## Advanced: Networking & Secrets
232
+ - **Server-Client Chain**: Server A attaches to Server B → A callable from B (and vice versa if mutual).
233
+ - **Cron/CLI Messaging**: Pipe to one-shot scripts (above) or WS clients: \`echo 'query' | npx @j-o-r/hello-dave dave --connect ...\`
234
+ - **Reset**: \`Prompt\` emits \`'reset'\` → propagates to attached servers/clients.
235
+
236
+ ## Errors
237
+ - No \`setup()\`: Throws.
238
+ - **Invalid \`name\`/\`toolName\`: Regex \`/^[a-z_0-9_]{2,}$/\` fail → \`Error\`**.
239
+ - No \`toolset\` on server: Throws.

+ # Dave CLI Usage
2
+
3
+ ## Introduction
4
+
5
+ The Dave CLI tool is the entry point for interacting with the Hello Dave project. It is located at `bin/dave.js` and can be run globally or via npx.
6
+
7
+ ## Installation
8
+
9
+ ### Global Installation
10
+
11
+ To install globally and use the `dave` command:
12
+
13
+ ```bash
14
+ npm install -g @j-o-r/hello-dave
15
+ ```
16
+
17
+ ### Local Usage with npx
18
+
19
+ Run without installation:
20
+
21
+ ```bash
22
+ npx @j-o-r/hello-dave [flags]
23
+ ```
24
+
25
+ ## Available Flags
26
+
27
+ The CLI supports various flags for configuration and launching services. Common flags include:
28
+
29
+ - `--help`: Display help information.
30
+ - `--version`: Show the current version of the Dave CLI.
31
+ - `--code [port] [--secret secret]`: Launch a portable CodeServer instance. Optionally specify a port (defaults to 8080 if omitted). Use `--secret` to set an access password for the server.
32
+
33
+ For detailed information on the CodeServer pattern and integration, refer to [codeserver-pattern.md](codeserver-pattern.md).
34
+
35
+ Other flags may be available depending on the version; run `dave --help` for the full list.
36
+
37
+ ## Examples
38
+
39
+ ### Basic Usage
40
+
41
+ - Show help (global):
42
+ ```bash
43
+ dave --help
44
+ ```
45
+
46
+ - Show version (npx):
47
+ ```bash
48
+ npx @j-o-r/hello-dave --version
49
+ ```
50
+
51
+ ### Launching CodeServer
52
+
53
+ - Launch on default port (global):
54
+ ```bash
55
+ dave --code
56
+ ```
57
+
58
+ - Launch on custom port with secret (npx):
59
+ ```bash
60
+ npx @j-o-r/hello-dave --code 3000 --secret mysecretpassword
61
+ ```

+ ## Introduction & Motivation
20
+
21
+ The **CodeServer pattern** demonstrates a production-ready setup for running a **persistent, always-on agent server** managed by [PM2](https://pm2.keymetrics.io/). It launches:
22
+
23
+ - **Main Server**: \`code_agent.js\` as a WebSocket server (code-focused agent with JavaScript tools).
24
+ - **Sub-Agents (Clients)**: Specialized agents (\`todo_agent.js\`, \`readme_agent.js\`, \`npm_agent.js\`, \`docs_agent.js\`) that **attach as tools** to the main server via WebSocket.
25
+
26
+ **Motivation**:
27
+ - **Persistence**: Long-running sessions without restarts (state in \`.cache/hello-dave/[agent]/\`).
28
+ - **Delegation**: Main agent delegates to specialists (e.g., "update docs" → \`docsDave\` tool).
29
+ - **No Heartbeats**: PM2 handles restarts, monitoring—no custom pings.
30
+ - **Scalability**: Easy to add sub-agents, deploy across machines.
31
+ - **CLI-Friendly**: Interact via \`bin/dave.js --connect\`.
32
+
33
+ Ideal for dev workflows: code execution, docs mgmt, npm inspection, todos—all in one persistent hub.

+
53
+ **Key Flows**:
54
+ 1. PM2 spawns all processes (named \`FOLDER_agent_PORT\`).
55
+ 2. Clients connect to main server → auto-register as **tools** (e.g., \`todo_agent\`, \`readme_agent\`).
56
+ 3. User queries main server → delegates (e.g., \`call todo_agent {add: "new task"}\`).
57
+ 4. Sessions persist independently per agent.
58
+
59
+ ## Prerequisites
60
+
61
+ | Requirement | Install Command | Notes |
62
+ |-------------|-----------------|-------|
63
+ | **Node.js** | `node --version` (≥18) | ESM support required. |
64
+ | **PM2** | `npm i -g pm2` | Process manager. Startup: `pm2 startup`. |
65
+ | **Project** | `git clone <repo> && cd hello-dave` | Examples in \`./agents/\`. |
66
+
67
+ Verify: `pm2 --version` & `node -e "import('@j-o-r/hello-dave')"`
68
+
69
+ ## Step-by-Step Setup
70
+
71
+ 1. **Navigate to project**:
72
+ ```bash
73
+ cd /path/to/hello-dave
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ 2. **Launch CodeServer** (pick PORT 1024-65535, SECRET ≥3 chars):
77
+ ```bash
78
+ ./agents/CodeServer 8080 mysecret123
79
+ ```
80
+ Output:
81
+ ```
82
+ Starting CodeServer on port 8080 in folder 'hello-dave' ... with SECRET 'mysecret123'
83
+ CodeServer processes spawned with prefix 'hello-dave_' and suffix _8080.
84
+ dave --connect ws://127.0.0.1:8080/ws --secret 'mysecret123'
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ 3. **Verify PM2**:
88
+ ```bash
89
+ pm2 list | grep 8080
90
+ ```
91
+ | Name | Status | CPU | Memory |
92
+ |-----------------------|--------|-----|--------|
93
+ | hello-dave_code_agent_8080 | online | ... | ... |
94
+ | hello-dave_todo_agent_8080 | online | ... | ... |
95
+ | ... (4 total) | ... | ... | ... |
96
+
97
+ ## Interaction via \`bin/dave.js\`
98
+
99
+ **Interactive**:
100
+ ```bash
101
+ ./bin/dave.js --connect 'ws://localhost:8080/ws' --secret 'mysecret123'
102
+ ```
103
+ - Chat with **code_agent** (main agent).
104
+ - Delegates automatically: "Manage todos", "Inspect @j-o-r/cli", "Update docs/codeserver-pattern.md".
105
+
106
+ **Piped (one-shot)**:
107
+ ```bash
108
+ echo "List pending todos" | ./bin/dave.js --connect 'ws://localhost:8080/ws' --secret 'mysecret123'
109
+ echo "user_reset" | ./bin/dave.js --connect ... # Reset session
110
+ ```
111
+
112
+ **Delegation Examples**:
113
+ - \`code_agent\`: "Use todo_agent to add 'Review PRs'"
114
+ - \`code_agent\`: "Call agent_docs to create nodejs-guide.md"
115
+
116
+ ## Monitoring & Stopping with PM2
117
+
118
+ **Monitor**:
119
+ - `pm2 list` / `pm2 monit` (dashboard)
120
+ - `pm2 logs hello-dave_code_agent_8080` (agent logs)
121
+ - `pm2 logs *8080 --lines 50`
122
+
123
+ **Stop**:
124
+ ```bash
125
+ pm2 stop hello-dave_*_8080 # All related
126
+ # Or delete:
127
+ pm2 delete hello-dave_code_agent_8080 hello-dave_todo_agent_8080 ...
128
+ ```
129
+
130
+ **Startup** (auto-restart on boot): `pm2 save && pm2 startup`
131
+
132
+ ## Customization
133
+
134
+ ### Adding Sub-Agents
135
+ Edit [agents/CodeServer](../agents/CodeServer):
136
+ ```bash
137
+ # Add new agent
138
+ pm2 start "${SCRIPT_DIR}/newAgent.js" --name "${FOLDER}_new_agent_${PORT}" -- --connect "ws://127.0.0.1:${PORT}/ws" --secret "${SECRET}"
139
+ ```
140
+ - Create \`newAgent.js\` like [agents/todo_agent.js](../agents/todo_agent.js): Set \`tool_call_name\`, prompt.
141
+
142
+ ### Changing Tools
143
+ - Main server: Edit \`code_agent.js\`: \`--tools javascript,bash,ssh\`
144
+ - Sub-agents: \`agent.addGenericToolcall('read_file')\` etc. See [toolset.md](../toolset.md).
145
+
146
+ ### Prompts/Models
147
+ - Per-agent: Edit JS files (e.g., \`options.model = 'grok-4-1-fast-reasoning'\`).
148
+
149
+ ## Benefits
150
+
151
+ | Feature | Advantage |
152
+ |---------|-----------|
153
+ | **Persistent Sessions** | State in \`.cache/hello-dave/[name]/sessions/\`—no re-explaining. |
154
+ | **Delegation** | Main agent uses sub-agents as tools (parallel, specialized). |
155
+ | **No Heartbeat** | PM2 restarts on crash; no custom logic. |
156
+ | **Resource Efficient** | Shared context; subs only active on call. |
157
+ | **Portable** | Script auto-prefixes PM2 names by folder/port. |
158
+
159
+ ## Troubleshooting
160
+
161
+ | Issue | Solution |
162
+ |-------|----------|
163
+ | **Port in use** | Change PORT; `lsof -i :8080` & `kill`. |
164
+ | **Secret mismatch** | Ensure exact match (no extra spaces). |
165
+ | **PM2 not found** | `npm i -g pm2`. |
166
+ | **Connection refused** | Wait 5s for server startup; check `pm2 logs`. |
167
+ | **No delegation** | Verify client tool names in JS (e.g., \`todo_agent\`). |
168
+ | **High memory** | `pm2 del *` or tweak \`contextWindow\`. |
169
+
170
+ Logs: `.cache/hello-dave/[agent]/sessions/*.ndjson` (use \`bin/dave.js --inspect log.ndjson\`).
171
+
172
+ ## Integration with AgentManager
173
+
174
+ Built on [AgentManager](../docs/agent-manager.md):
175
+
176
+ - **Server**: `agent.start(PORT)` → WS server exposing \`code_agent\`.
177
+ - **Clients**: `agent.start(undefined, 'ws://...', undefined, 'todo_agent', 'desc')` → Attaches as tool.
178
+
179
+ **Tools**: Generic from [toolset.md](../docs/toolset.md) (e.g., \`execute_bash_script\`, \`javascript_interpreter\`).
