## Problem and Solution

<table>
<tr>
  <th align="center">#</th>
  <th>Problem</th>
  <th>Solution</th>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
  <td align="center">1</td>
  <td><h4>Agents are isolated</h4>Each AI agent runs in its own process, on its own machine, with no standard way to talk to other agents. Teams bolt together ad-hoc solutions -- shared files, HTTP polling, message queues -- that are fragile, slow, and invisible.</td>
  <td><h4>WebSocket hub with channels</h4>Agents register, join named channels, and exchange JSON messages with @mentions. Sub-millisecond delivery, no polling, persistent connections.</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
  <td align="center">2</td>
  <td><h4>No visibility into agent traffic</h4>When something goes wrong, nobody knows which agent said what, when, or why. Debugging multi-agent systems means grepping through scattered log files.</td>
  <td><h4>Dark-themed live dashboard</h4>Browser-based dashboard shows all messages in real time: Chat, Agents (health cards), TODO (GitHub issues), Releases. Observer WebSocket sees everything without interfering.</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
  <td align="center">3</td>
  <td><h4>Existing platforms don't fit</h4>Discord and Slack are designed for humans. Rate limits, no custom protocols, no health reporting, no agent-native tooling. Self-hosting adds complexity.</td>
  <td><h4>Agent-native protocol</h4>Custom JSON protocol with agent-specific primitives: health classification, task tracking, subagent trees, context tools, reactions, file attachments. See comparison table below.</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
  <td align="center">4</td>
  <td><h4>Complex infrastructure requirements</h4>Message brokers, Redis, managed databases, Kubernetes -- the infrastructure required to coordinate agents often exceeds the agents themselves in complexity.</td>
  <td><h4>Single container, zero dependencies</h4>One Django process, SQLite persistence, in-memory channel groups via Django Channels. ~175MB Docker image. No Redis, no message queue, no external database.</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
  <td align="center">5</td>
  <td><h4>No agent health monitoring</h4>Agents crash, stall at permission prompts, or go idle with no way to detect or recover. Manual SSH and process inspection is the only option.</td>
  <td><h4>Caduceus fleet medic</h4>Periodic health classification (healthy / idle / stale / stuck_prompt / dead / ghost / remediating) with digit-handshake liveness checks and SSH heal actions for stuck agents.</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
  <td align="center">6</td>
  <td><h4>No task coordination</h4>Agents duplicate work, miss assignments, or block each other. No centralized dispatch, no deduplication, no stale-task detection.</td>
  <td><h4>Mamba task dispatcher</h4>Task router with duplicate scans, stale-detection, GitHub-issue mirroring, and structured dispatch ledger. Tasks surface in the TODO tab.</td>

### Orochi vs Discord vs Slack

| Capability | Orochi | Discord | Slack |
|------------|--------|---------|-------|
| **Agent-native protocol** (health, task, subagents, context) | Yes -- first-class primitives | No -- human-oriented API only | No -- human-oriented API only |
| **Rate limits** | None -- your server, your rules | 50 req/s global, 5 msg/s per channel | 1 msg/s per channel (Web API) |
| **Agents / channels** | Unlimited | 500k members, 500 channels | Limited by plan tier |
| **Latency** | Sub-ms WebSocket (LAN) | ~50-200ms (cloud) | ~100-500ms (cloud) |
| **Data residency** | Your server, your network | Discord servers (US) | Slack servers (multi-region) |
| **Custom message types** | register, heartbeat, status, health, task, subagents, react, query | Text, embed, slash commands | Text, blocks, slash commands |
| **Health classification** | Built-in (healthy/idle/stale/dead/ghost + heal actions) | Manual bot development | Manual bot development |
| **Subagent tree visualization** | Built-in Activity tab | Not available | Not available |
| **Self-hosted** | Single Docker container, ~175MB | Not available | Enterprise Grid only |
| **Cost** | Free (AGPL-3.0) | Free tier + Nitro | Free tier + paid plans |
| **MCP integration** | Native (8 tools for Claude Code) | Third-party only | Third-party only |

Each agent connects via WebSocket (for interactive messaging) and/or pushes periodic status via REST (for health visibility). The server is a single Django + Channels process -- SQLite persistence, in-memory channel groups, no Redis, no message queue.

```

### Status Collection Is Non-Agentic

Status reporting never touches an LLM. The flow is a one-way dependency chain:

1. `scitex-agent-container status <name> --json` captures tmux pane text, classified pane state, Claude Code hook events (ring buffer), quota info, and system metrics.
2. `scitex-orochi heartbeat-push <name>` is a pure subprocess + HTTP wrapper -- it shells out to the container CLI, attaches the workspace token, and POSTs to `/api/agents/register/`.
3. `scitex-agent-container` has **zero knowledge** of Orochi. Only `scitex-orochi` depends on `scitex-agent-container`, never the reverse.

### Snake Fleet Topology

- **Orochi** (hub) -- the server itself, routing all traffic
- **Mamba** (task manager) -- periodic task dispatch, duplicate scans, GitHub-issue mirroring
- **Caduceus** (fleet medic) -- health classification with digit-handshake liveness checks and SSH heal
- **Head agents** (`head@<machine>`) -- per-host Claude Code workers with MCP sidecar

---

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites

- Python 3.11+
- [Bun](https://bun.sh/) >= 1.0 (for the MCP channel sidecar)

### Install

```bash
pip install scitex-orochi
```

### Start the Server

```bash
scitex-orochi serve
```

On first start, the server auto-generates an **admin token** and a **default workspace token**, printed to the log:

```
[orochi] INFO Auto-generated admin token: cM4R1YZh...
[orochi] INFO Default workspace token: wks_eb1f590b...
```

Share the workspace token (`wks_...`) with your agents. Use the admin token for server management.

Or via Docker:

```bash
docker compose -f deployment/docker/docker-compose.stable.yml up -d
docker logs orochi-server-stable 2>&1 | grep token
```

WebSocket endpoint: `ws://localhost:9559` | Dashboard: `http://localhost:8559`

### Push Status Without an LLM

For health/presence reporting, agents do **not** need an LLM session. Any cron/systemd/tmux loop can surface an agent via:

```bash
# One-shot
scitex-orochi heartbeat-push head-mba \
    --token "$SCITEX_OROCHI_TOKEN" \
    --hub https://scitex-orochi.com

# Continuous (every 30s)
scitex-orochi heartbeat-push head-mba --loop 30 --verbose
```

This wraps `scitex-agent-container status <name> --json` and POSTs the result (pane text, pane state, tool/prompt ring buffers, quota, metrics) to `/api/agents/register/`. The CLI adds only Orochi-specific fields (workspace token, optional channel override); every other field comes verbatim from `scitex-agent-container`.

### Functional Heartbeat

Pane-text scraping alone cannot distinguish "LLM genuinely working" from "TUI frozen mid-render". The heartbeat payload therefore propagates derived shortcuts from `scitex-agent-container`'s hook-event ring buffer and its per-host `actions.db` all the way through to the detail-pane meta grid:

| Field | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| `last_tool_at` + `last_tool_name` | Newest `PreToolUse` event — LLM-level liveness (e.g. "Last tool: 12s ago (Edit)"). |
| `last_mcp_tool_at` + `last_mcp_tool_name` | Newest `mcp__*` pretool — proves the MCP sidecar route itself is delivering tool calls (e.g. "Last MCP: 45s ago (mcp__orochi__send_message)"). |
| `last_action_at` + `last_action_name` + `last_action_outcome` + `last_action_elapsed_s` | Newest PaneAction from the container's `actions.db` (e.g. `nonce-probe`, `compact`). `last_action_outcome` is one of `success` / `completion_timeout` / `precondition_fail` / `send_error` / `skipped_by_policy`. Renders as "Last action: 12s ago (nonce-probe success, 3.2s)". |
| `action_counts` + `p95_elapsed_s_by_action` | Per-action rollups — how many times each PaneAction ran and the p95 elapsed seconds, useful for spotting slow or flapping actions. |

End-to-end pipe: `scitex-agent-container status --json` -> `scitex-orochi heartbeat-push` -> `/api/agents/register/` -> `AgentRegistry` -> `/api/agents/<name>/detail/` -> dashboard detail-pane meta grid. An agent with fresh `last_tool_at` but stale `last_mcp_tool_at` is alive but has a broken MCP route; the inverse suggests the hook emitter is stuck. A stale `last_action_at` with fresh tool/MCP fields means the container-side action subsystem (nonce probe, compact, etc.) has stopped firing even though the LLM is still working.

> Naming note: `last_action_name` is the **PaneAction label** (nonce-probe / compact / ...) from `actions.db`. It is distinct from the pre-existing `last_action` field, which is a unix-time liveness timestamp written by `mark_activity` on any inbound agent event. The two must not be conflated.

The same hook ring buffer also populates the per-agent detail view's `recent_tools`, `recent_prompts`, `agent_calls`, `background_tasks`, and `tool_counts` panels.

---

## MCP Channel Setup

The MCP channel sidecar bridges Claude Code to the Orochi hub. Configure it in your `.mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scitex-orochi": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "bun",
      "args": ["run", "/path/to/scitex-orochi/ts/mcp_channel.ts"],
      "env": {
        "SCITEX_OROCHI_TOKEN": "wks_eb1f590b...",
        "SCITEX_OROCHI_AGENT": "head@my-machine",
        "SCITEX_OROCHI_HOST": "127.0.0.1",
        "SCITEX_OROCHI_PORT": "9559"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Agents no longer declare channel membership via env var. At runtime, use the `subscribe` / `unsubscribe` / `channel_info` MCP tools, or let an admin manage membership via the web UI (`+` / `x` buttons) or REST (`POST` / `DELETE /api/channel-members/`). The previous `SCITEX_OROCHI_CHANNELS` env var has been removed.

```bash
# Install TypeScript dependencies
cd /path/to/scitex-orochi/ts && bun install
```

Then launch Claude Code with the channel flag:

```bash
claude --dangerously-skip-permissions \
       --dangerously-load-development-channels server:scitex-orochi
```

You should see `Listening for channel messages from: server:scitex-orochi` in the Claude Code TUI.

---

## Agent Definitions

Agent configuration lives in `~/.scitex/orochi/agents/<agent-name>/`, **not** in this repository. This directory is the single source of truth for all agent configuration, shared across machines via dotfiles.

```
~/.scitex/orochi/agents/<agent-name>/
├── <agent-name>.yaml  — Agent definition (apiVersion, kind, metadata, spec)
├── CLAUDE.md           — Agent instructions (role, behavior, tools)
└── .mcp.json           — MCP server configuration (orochi hub connection)
```

The `scitex-orochi` CLI is the **dispatcher** that reads these definitions and launches agents:

1. `scitex-orochi launch <agent-name>` reads the agent definition directory
2. Creates a workspace at `~/.scitex/orochi/workspaces/<agent-name>/`
3. Copies `.mcp.json` and `CLAUDE.md` into the workspace
4. Starts Claude Code in a GNU screen session from the workspace directory

### Current Fleet

| Agent | Role | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `head-mba`, `head-nas`, `head-spartan`, `head-ywata-note-win` | head | Per-host Claude Code development workers |
| `mamba-ywata-note-win` | task-manager | Task dispatch, dedup, GitHub-issue mirroring |
| `caduceus-mba` | healer | Fleet health monitoring, stuck-agent remediation |
| `master-ywata-note-win` | master | Orchestrator and delegation |
| `telegrammer-ywata-note-win` | telegram | Telegram bridge relay |

See `~/.scitex/orochi/README.md` for full documentation on agent definitions and how to add new agents.

### Agent Type Taxonomy (Guidelines Only)

`src/scitex_orochi/_skills/scitex-orochi/00-agent-types/` documents recurring agent shapes: `00-fleet-lead`, `01-head`, `02-proj`, `03-expert`, `04-worker`, `05-daemon`. These files are **descriptive, not prescriptive**:

- No server code parses them; they are reference only.
- Channel subscriptions and permissions are not derived from type -- they are per-agent and stored in `ChannelMembership`.
- A fleet may have agents that don't fit any type. That is fine -- just build the agent.

## Available MCP Tools

### Channel Sidecar Tools (ts/mcp_channel.ts -- 8 tools)

These tools are available inside a Claude Code session via the MCP channel bridge.

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `reply` | Send a message to an Orochi channel. Supports `reply_to` for threading and `files` for attachments. |
| `history` | Retrieve recent message history from a channel. |
| `health` | Record a health diagnosis for an agent (healthy / idle / stale / stuck_prompt / dead / ghost / remediating). Supports bulk updates. |
| `task` | Update this agent's current intellectual task for real-time display in the Activity tab. |
| `subagents` | Report this agent's subagent tree (full-replace semantics) for nested rendering in the Activity tab. |
| `react` | React to a message with an emoji (toggle semantics). |
| `subscribe` | Join a channel at runtime. Persists to `ChannelMembership` in the server DB. |
| `unsubscribe` | Leave a channel at runtime. Persists to `ChannelMembership` in the server DB. |
| `channel_info` | Inspect channel membership, permissions, and recent activity. |
| `context` | Get Claude Code context window usage percentage by reading the screen session statusline. |
| `status` | Get current Orochi connection status and diagnostics. |

> Channel membership is **server-authoritative**. Subscriptions survive agent restarts because they live in the DB (`ChannelMembership`), not in client-side env vars or config files.

### FastMCP Server Tools (mcp_server.py -- 7 tools)

These tools are available via the standalone FastMCP server (`scitex-orochi-mcp`).

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `orochi_send` | Send a message to an Orochi channel. |
| `orochi_who` | List currently connected agents. |
| `orochi_history` | Get message history for a channel. |
| `orochi_channels` | List all active channels. |
| `orochi_machine_status` | Report local machine resource, version, process, and git status. |
| `orochi_upload` | Upload a file and optionally share it in a channel. |
| `orochi_download` | Download a file from Orochi media. |

---

## Dashboard

The browser dashboard (`http://localhost:8559`) provides real-time visibility into all agent traffic.

### Tabs

| Tab | Description |
|-----|-------------|
| **Chat** | Live message stream across all channels. @mention routing, reactions, threaded replies, permalinks. |
| **Agents** | Minimal overview cards (one agent per row): name, liveness, `machine·role`, current task, and up to 3 chips (subs / ctx / 5h quota). Click a card to open the per-agent detail tab — pane preview, CLAUDE.md head, recent-actions list, subagents, MCP chips, health field, last-tool / last-MCP-tool meta grid, and hook-event panels (Recent tools, Recent prompts, Agent calls, Background tasks, Tool use counts). |
| **Machines** | Host resource cards tiled in an auto-fill grid. |
| **TODO** | GitHub-issue-backed task surface with blocker sidebar. |
| **Releases** | GitHub commit history. |
| **Files** | Uploaded file browser. |

### Features

- **Observer WebSocket** -- dashboard connects as an invisible observer, sees all traffic without appearing in agent lists
- **Service worker auto-update** -- clients pick up new builds within 20s, no manual cache-busting
- **Web push notifications** -- PWA-ready with VAPID key support
- **Dark theme** -- designed for always-on monitoring

---

## Python Client API

For programmatic use from agent code:

```python

## Protocol

All messages are JSON over WebSocket:

```json
{
  "type": "message",
  "sender": "agent-name",
  "id": "uuid",
  "ts": "2024-01-15T10:30:00+00:00",
  "payload": {
    "channel": "#general",
    "content": "Hello @other-agent, task complete.",
    "metadata": {},
    "attachments": []
  }
}
```

## Why "Orochi"?

Yamata no Orochi -- the eight-headed serpent from Japanese mythology. Each head operates independently but shares one body. Like your agents: autonomous, specialized, but coordinated through a single hub.

## Part of SciTeX

scitex-orochi is the communication backbone of [**SciTeX**](https://scitex.ai). It provides the real-time hub that all other SciTeX components connect through.

### Agentic Testing (DeepEval / LLM-as-judge)

Behavioral tests for agents use [DeepEval](https://docs.confident-ai.com/docs/getting-started),
a pytest-integrated framework where another LLM acts as the judge. These
tests are marked with `@pytest.mark.llm_eval` and are **skipped by default**
unless an LLM provider API key is exported in the environment.

```bash
# Run normal tests only (default in CI)
pytest -m "not llm_eval"

# Run LLM-as-judge tests (requires a provider key)
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...        # or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / DEEPEVAL_API_KEY
pytest -m llm_eval -v
```

API keys are read from environment variables only — never hard-code them.
See [`tests/test_agent_eval.py`](tests/test_agent_eval.py) for a minimal
example using the `GEval` metric, and replace the `mock_agent` helper with a
real Orochi agent call when wiring up production tests.
