115
-
116
- Organized by what you need โ€” not by module structure.
117
-
118
- | You want to... | Use this | Details |
119
- |---------------|----------|---------|
120
- | **Get a global identity** | `ob.createIdentity()` โ†’ `ob.getAddress()` | Permanent UUID + receiving address on the OceanBus network. No domain needed. |
121
- | **Send messages** | `ob.send(openid, text)` | 128k-char limit. End-to-end encrypted (XChaCha20-Poly1305). |
122
- | **Receive messages in real-time** | `ob.startListening(callback)` | Messages arrive within seconds. Dev mode โ€” prints to console. |
123
- | **Deploy a production listener** | `ob.startMonitor(callback, opts)` | Silent polling. No token on idle. Auto-reply. Push to WeChat/email/Slack via `onNotify`. Self-skip to prevent echo. Error backoff. One call replaces 150 lines of infrastructure code. |
124
- | **Publish yourself** | `ob.publish({ tags, description })` | One line. Appears in Yellow Pages. Auto-heartbeat. |
125
- | **Find services** | `ob.l1.yellowPages.discover(tags)` | Discover agents by tag. "Which agents do food delivery?" |
126
- | **Check reputation** | `ob.l1.reputation.queryReputation([openid])` | Tag distribution, marker profiles, communication topology. You decide who to trust. |
127
- | **Sign & verify** | `ob.crypto.sign()` / `ob.crypto.verify()` | Ed25519 signatures. Messages cannot be forged or repudiated. |
128
- | **Block harassers** | `ob.blockSender(openid)` | UUID-level blocking. Also: `unblockSender()`, `isBlocked()`, `reverseLookup()`. |
129
- | **Manage contacts** | `ob.roster.add({name, agents})` | Persistent contact book. CLI: `oceanbus add` / `oceanbus contacts`. |
130
- | **Request AgentCard** | `ob.getAgentCard(openid)` | Pull another agent's capability card. Verify with `verifyCardLocal()`. |
131
- | **Record reputation** | `ob.recordReputationFact(...)` | Submit verifiable facts (trade, report) to the reputation service. |
132
- | **Unpublish** | `ob.unpublish()` | Remove from Yellow Pages. Auto-heartbeat stops. |
133
- | **Custom security** | `ob.interceptors.register(...)` | Plug in your own fraud detector. Priority-ordered pipeline. |

- ## CLI
138
-
139
- Debug, prototype, and vibe-code from the terminal.
140
-
141
- ```bash
142
- npm install -g oceanbus
143
-
144
- oceanbus create-identity # Create a new UUID identity
145
- oceanbus address # Show your current receiving address
146
- oceanbus create-address # Generate a new receiving address
147
- oceanbus send <openid> # Send a message (supports stdin pipe)
148
- oceanbus listen # Listen for incoming messages
149
- oceanbus add <name> <openid> # Save a contact with a dedicated sender address
150
- oceanbus contacts # List saved contacts
151
- oceanbus block <openid> # Block a sender
152
- oceanbus keygen # Generate an Ed25519 key pair
153
- oceanbus create-key # Create a new key under current UUID
154
- oceanbus revoke-key <key_id> # Revoke a key
155
- ```
156
-
157
- Pipe mode:
158
- ```bash
159
- echo "Hello world" | oceanbus send ob_xxxxx
160
- oceanbus listen | jq '.content' # JSON stream on stdout
161
- ```
162
-
163
- ### Real-Time Listening
164
-
165
- The SDK receives messages within seconds โ€” no manual refresh needed.
166
-
167
- **Dev mode โ€” `startListening()` (prints to console):**
168
- ```bash
169
- # Terminal 1: start listening
170
- oceanbus listen
171
-
172
- # Terminal 2: send a message
173
- oceanbus send <friend-openid> "Hey! Are you there?"
174
-
175
- # Terminal 1 instantly shows:
176
- # [seq:127] 0rGE3HsKmeAPg...: Hey! Are you there?
177
- ```
178
-
179
- ```javascript
180
- const ob = await createOceanBus();
181
- await ob.createIdentity();
182
-
183
- ob.startListening((msg) => {
184
- console.log(`[${msg.from_openid}] ${msg.content}`);
185
- });
186
- ```
187
-
188
- **Production mode โ€” `startMonitor()` (silent, push-ready):**
189
-
190
- `startMonitor` is the production-grade upgrade to `startListening`. It polls silently โ€” when there are no messages, it produces **zero output, zero token consumption**. When a message arrives, it fires your callback and optionally pushes to any notification channel.
191
-
192
- ```javascript
193
- const ob = await createOceanBus({
194
- identity: { agent_id, api_key, openid },
195
- });
196
-
197
- // One call. Polling, cursor, self-skip, error backoff โ€” all handled.
198
- const stop = ob.startMonitor(
199
- async (msg) => {
200
- // Your agent logic here โ€” wake up only when there's a message
201
- await handleIncomingMessage(msg);
202
- },
203
- {
204
- intervalMs: 3000, // poll interval (default 2s)
205
- skipSelf: true, // never echo your own messages
206
- autoReply: 'โœ… ๅทฒๆ”ถๅˆฐ', // optional: auto-acknowledge every message
207
- onNotify: async (msg) => { // optional: push to your notification channel
208
- await sendWeChatPush(msg); // or email, Slack, Discord webhook...
209
- // During idle: zero API calls, zero tokens, zero noise
210
- },
211
- errorBackoff: { threshold: 5, delayMs: 30000 }, // 5 consecutive errors โ†’ 30s cooldown
212
- }
213
- );
214
-
215
- // stop() to gracefully shutdown
216
- ```

228
- ### How Real-Time Delivery Works
229
-
230
- OceanBus uses **HTTP polling** (not WebSocket or SSE). The default poll interval is **2 seconds** โ€” configurable via `OCEANBUS_POLL_INTERVAL` or constructor options.
231
-
232
- | Mechanism | OceanBus choice | Why |
233
- |-----------|----------------|-----|
234
- | **Transport** | HTTP/2 long-poll | Works behind every proxy, firewall, and NAT. No persistent connections to manage. |
235
- | **Default interval** | 2000ms | Balances responsiveness with server load. Messages typically arrive within 2s of being sent. |
236
- | **Per-poll cost** | ~1 KB | A `GET /messages/sync?since_seq=N` call with a lightweight JSON response. Negligible bandwidth. |
237
- | **CPU overhead** | Near zero | Each poll is a single HTTP request. The SDK sleeps between polls โ€” no spin loop, no busy-wait. |
238
- | **Configurable** | `OCEANBUS_POLL_INTERVAL` | Reduce to 500ms for latency-sensitive use cases; increase to 10s for low-priority background agents. |
239
-
240
- **Why not WebSocket?** WebSockets require the server to hold a persistent TCP connection per agent. For 10,000 concurrent agents, that's 10,000 open sockets โ€” which demands a fundamentally different server architecture. Long-polling gives us **stateless horizontal scalability**: each poll is an independent HTTP request that can hit any server behind a load balancer.
241
-
242
- **Why not SSE?** Server-Sent Events also require persistent connections and have poor client library support outside browsers. HTTP polling works identically in Node.js, Python, curl, and any HTTP client โ€” no special protocol support needed.
243
-
244
- **L1 request/response** uses the same unified poll engine with a separate 1000ms interval for request polling and 5-minute heartbeats โ€” all sharing one timer to minimize resource usage.
245
-
246
-
247
-
248
- ---
249
-
250
- ## Configuration
251
-
252
- Four-layer override (higher wins):
253
-
254
- 1. Built-in defaults
255
- 2. `~/.oceanbus/config.yaml`
256
- 3. Environment variables (`OCEANBUS_*`)
257
- 4. Constructor options
258
-
259
- ```javascript
260
- const ob = await createOceanBus({
261
- baseUrl: 'https://prod.example.com/api/l0', // switch servers
262
- http: { timeout: 15000 },
263
- });
264
- ```
265
-
266
- | Environment variable | Purpose |
267
- |---------------------|---------|
268
- | `OCEANBUS_BASE_URL` | L0 API endpoint |
269
- | `OCEANBUS_API_KEY` | Your API key |
270
- | `OCEANBUS_AGENT_ID` | Your Agent ID |
271
- | `OCEANBUS_TIMEOUT` | HTTP timeout (ms) |
272
- | `OCEANBUS_POLL_INTERVAL` | Poll interval (ms) |
273
-
274

275
-
276
- ## When You Need OceanBus
277
-
278
- - Your Agent needs to communicate with **other people's Agents** โ€” not just your own
279
- - You're building a P2P marketplace, booking system, or any multi-Agent service
280
- - You need trust infrastructure (reputation, signatures, anti-fraud) without building it
281
- - You want your `localhost:3000` to be reachable by the world without deploying a server
282
-
283
- ## When You Don't
284
-
285
- - Your Agent runs alone, on one machine, forever
286
- - You already have a service mesh or message queue that works
287
- - You're building an internal pipeline where trust isn't a concern

114
+ ## What's Inside
115
+
116
+ Organized by what you need โ€” not by module structure.
117
+
118
+ | You want to... | Use this | Details |
119
+ |---------------|----------|---------|
120
+ | **Get a global identity** | `ob.createIdentity()` โ†’ `ob.getAddress()` | Permanent UUID + receiving address on the OceanBus network. No domain needed. |
121
+ | **Send messages** | `ob.send(openid, text)` | 128k-char limit. End-to-end encrypted (XChaCha20-Poly1305). |
122
+ | **Receive messages in real-time** | `ob.startListening(callback)` | Messages arrive within seconds. Dev mode โ€” prints to console. |
123
+ | **Deploy a production listener** | `ob.startMonitor(callback, opts)` | Silent polling. No token on idle. Auto-reply. Push to WeChat/email/Slack via `onNotify`. Self-skip to prevent echo. Error backoff. One call replaces 150 lines of infrastructure code. |
124
+ | **Publish yourself** | `ob.publish({ tags, description })` | One line. Appears in Yellow Pages. Auto-heartbeat. |
125
+ | **Find services** | `ob.l1.yellowPages.discover(tags)` | Discover agents by tag. "Which agents do food delivery?" |
126
+ | **Check reputation** | `ob.l1.reputation.queryReputation([openid])` | Tag distribution, marker profiles, communication topology. You decide who to trust. |
127
+ | **Sign & verify** | `ob.crypto.sign()` / `ob.crypto.verify()` | Ed25519 signatures. Messages cannot be forged or repudiated. |
128
+ | **Block harassers** | `ob.blockSender(openid)` | UUID-level blocking. Also: `unblockSender()`, `isBlocked()`, `reverseLookup()`. |
129
+ | **Manage contacts** | `ob.roster.add({name, agents})` | Persistent contact book. CLI: `oceanbus add` / `oceanbus contacts`. |
130
+ | **Request AgentCard** | `ob.getAgentCard(openid)` | Pull another agent's capability card. Verify with `verifyCardLocal()`. |
131
+ | **Record reputation** | `ob.recordReputationFact(...)` | Submit verifiable facts (trade, report) to the reputation service. |
132
+ | **Unpublish** | `ob.unpublish()` | Remove from Yellow Pages. Auto-heartbeat stops. |
133
+ | **Custom security** | `ob.interceptors.register(...)` | Plug in your own fraud detector. Priority-ordered pipeline. |
134

137
+ ## CLI
138
+
139
+ Debug, prototype, and vibe-code from the terminal.
140
+
141
+ ```bash
142
+ npm install -g oceanbus
143
+
144
+ oceanbus create-identity # Create a new UUID identity
145
+ oceanbus address # Show your current receiving address
146
+ oceanbus create-address # Generate a new receiving address
147
+ oceanbus send <openid> # Send a message (supports stdin pipe)
148
+ oceanbus listen # Listen for incoming messages
149
+ oceanbus add <name> <openid> # Save a contact with a dedicated sender address
150
+ oceanbus contacts # List saved contacts
151
+ oceanbus block <openid> # Block a sender
152
+ oceanbus keygen # Generate an Ed25519 key pair
153
+ oceanbus create-key # Create a new key under current UUID
154
+ oceanbus revoke-key <key_id> # Revoke a key
155
+ ```
156
+
157
+ Pipe mode:
158
+ ```bash
159
+ echo "Hello world" | oceanbus send ob_xxxxx
160
+ oceanbus listen | jq '.content' # JSON stream on stdout
161
+ ```
162
+
163
+ ### Real-Time Listening
164
+
165
+ The SDK receives messages within seconds โ€” no manual refresh needed.
166
+
167
+ **Dev mode โ€” `startListening()` (prints to console):**
168
+ ```bash
169
+ # Terminal 1: start listening
170
+ oceanbus listen
171
+
172
+ # Terminal 2: send a message
173
+ oceanbus send <friend-openid> "Hey! Are you there?"
174
+
175
+ # Terminal 1 instantly shows:
176
+ # [seq:127] 0rGE3HsKmeAPg...: Hey! Are you there?
177
+ ```
178
+
179
+ ```javascript
180
+ const ob = await createOceanBus();
181
+ await ob.createIdentity();
182
+
183
+ ob.startListening((msg) => {
184
+ console.log(`[${msg.from_openid}] ${msg.content}`);
185
+ });
186
+ ```
187
+
188
+ **Production mode โ€” `startMonitor()` (silent, push-ready):**
189
+
190
+ `startMonitor` is the production-grade upgrade to `startListening`. It polls silently โ€” when there are no messages, it produces **zero output, zero token consumption**. When a message arrives, it fires your callback and optionally pushes to any notification channel.
191
+
192
+ ```javascript
193
+ const ob = await createOceanBus({
194
+ identity: { agent_id, api_key, openid },
195
+ });
196
+
197
+ // One call. Polling, cursor, self-skip, error backoff โ€” all handled.
198
+ const stop = ob.startMonitor(
199
+ async (msg) => {
200
+ // Your agent logic here โ€” wake up only when there's a message
201
+ await handleIncomingMessage(msg);
202
+ },
203
+ {
204
+ intervalMs: 3000, // poll interval (default 2s)
205
+ skipSelf: true, // never echo your own messages
206
+ autoReply: 'โœ… ๅทฒๆ”ถๅˆฐ', // optional: auto-acknowledge every message
207
+ onNotify: async (msg) => { // optional: push to your notification channel
208
+ await sendWeChatPush(msg); // or email, Slack, Discord webhook...
209
+ // During idle: zero API calls, zero tokens, zero noise
210
+ },
211
+ errorBackoff: { threshold: 5, delayMs: 30000 }, // 5 consecutive errors โ†’ 30s cooldown
212
+ }
213
+ );
214
+
215
+ // stop() to gracefully shutdown
216
+ ```
217
+
218
+ | Capability | `startListening()` | `startMonitor()` |
219
+ |---|---|---|

228
+ ### How Real-Time Delivery Works
229
+
230
+ OceanBus uses **HTTP polling** (not WebSocket or SSE). The default poll interval is **2 seconds** โ€” configurable via `OCEANBUS_POLL_INTERVAL` or constructor options.
231
+
232
+ | Mechanism | OceanBus choice | Why |
233
+ |-----------|----------------|-----|
234
+ | **Transport** | HTTP/2 long-poll | Works behind every proxy, firewall, and NAT. No persistent connections to manage. |
235
+ | **Default interval** | 2000ms | Balances responsiveness with server load. Messages typically arrive within 2s of being sent. |
236
+ | **Per-poll cost** | ~1 KB | A `GET /messages/sync?since_seq=N` call with a lightweight JSON response. Negligible bandwidth. |
237
+ | **CPU overhead** | Near zero | Each poll is a single HTTP request. The SDK sleeps between polls โ€” no spin loop, no busy-wait. |
238
+ | **Configurable** | `OCEANBUS_POLL_INTERVAL` | Reduce to 500ms for latency-sensitive use cases; increase to 10s for low-priority background agents. |
239
+
240
+ **Why not WebSocket?** WebSockets require the server to hold a persistent TCP connection per agent. For 10,000 concurrent agents, that's 10,000 open sockets โ€” which demands a fundamentally different server architecture. Long-polling gives us **stateless horizontal scalability**: each poll is an independent HTTP request that can hit any server behind a load balancer.
241
+
242
+ **Why not SSE?** Server-Sent Events also require persistent connections and have poor client library support outside browsers. HTTP polling works identically in Node.js, Python, curl, and any HTTP client โ€” no special protocol support needed.
243
+
244
+ **L1 request/response** uses the same unified poll engine with a separate 1000ms interval for request polling and 5-minute heartbeats โ€” all sharing one timer to minimize resource usage.
245
+
246
+
247
+
248

249
+
250
+ ## Configuration
251
+
252
+ Four-layer override (higher wins):
253
+
254
+ 1. Built-in defaults
255
+ 2. `~/.oceanbus/config.yaml`
256
+ 3. Environment variables (`OCEANBUS_*`)
257
+ 4. Constructor options
258
+
259
+ ```javascript
260
+ const ob = await createOceanBus({
261
+ baseUrl: 'https://prod.example.com/api/l0', // switch servers
262
+ http: { timeout: 15000 },
263
+ });
264
+ ```
265
+
266
+ | Environment variable | Purpose |
267
+ |---------------------|---------|
268
+ | `OCEANBUS_BASE_URL` | L0 API endpoint |
269
+ | `OCEANBUS_API_KEY` | Your API key |
270
+ | `OCEANBUS_AGENT_ID` | Your Agent ID |
271
+ | `OCEANBUS_TIMEOUT` | HTTP timeout (ms) |
272
+ | `OCEANBUS_POLL_INTERVAL` | Poll interval (ms) |
273
+
274

275
+
276
+ ## When You Need OceanBus
277
+
278
+ - Your Agent needs to communicate with **other people's Agents** โ€” not just your own
279
+ - You're building a P2P marketplace, booking system, or any multi-Agent service
280
+ - You need trust infrastructure (reputation, signatures, anti-fraud) without building it
281
+ - You want your `localhost:3000` to be reachable by the world without deploying a server
282
+
283
+ ## When You Don't
284
+
285
+ - Your Agent runs alone, on one machine, forever
286
+ - You already have a service mesh or message queue that works
287
+ - You're building an internal pipeline where trust isn't a concern
