echo-agent

Runnable demo: stdin chat with a scripted mock model and an echo tool.

What it shows

• A complete Cordis app loaded from cordis.yml — the standard "stack of plugins" pattern
• mock-llm.ts — a mock LlmAdapter that streams scripted responses and calls the echo tool when the user types "echo "
• echo-tool.ts — a tool registered via ctx.tools.register() that echoes text back uppercased
• @deepseek-ai/dsh-session-persistence-jsonl — the durable JSONL persistence backend (loaded from cordis.yml, root: ./.sessions): append-only event log per session with crash-safe atomic writes, replacing the old write-only example plugin
• stdio-chat.ts — a minimal UI plugin: reads stdin lines and send/steers the agent, renders stream deltas, tool calls, and tool results

Plugin files

File	Role	Key patterns demonstrated
mock-llm.ts	LlmAdapter registration	ctx.llm.registerAdapter(['mock-echo'], …), streaming chunks with proper block-start/block-end protocol
echo-tool.ts	Tool registration	ctx.tools.register(defineTool(…)) with typed execute args, tool execution returning ContentBlock[]
stdio-chat.ts	UI	agent/stream-chunk, session/event (tool/*), stdin→send/steer
start.ts	Bootstrap	Context + Loader + plugin-include wired to cordis.yml

Persistence is the shared @deepseek-ai/dsh-session-persistence-jsonl plugin (not a per-example file).

Run

pnpm run demo:echo
# or:
node --expose-internals --import tsx examples/echo-agent/start.ts

Type a message and press Enter. "echo " triggers a tool call round-trip (the mock model requests the echo tool, which echoes the text uppercased, and the next model step acknowledges it).

The session is persisted under examples/echo-agent/.sessions/ (per-cwd subdirectory, one .jsonl log per session). Clean up with: rm -rf examples/echo-agent/.sessions
