Docs: per-folder README.md for packages/ (family overview + one per package: service, events, API, extension points, TODOs), examples/, and examples/echo-agent/; folder-level AGENTS.md (+ CLAUDE.md symlinks) for packages/ and vendor/; module-level doc comments in every packages/*/src file; richer JSDoc on all exported API (event side effects, disposal contracts, error behavior). Root AGENTS.md gains a "Type Safety and Documentation" policy section: the codebase aims to be very type-safe and well documented; type gymnastics are acceptable in core packages when they improve plugin-author DX; verbose docs are fine as long as they stay strictly in sync with the code. Type safety: removed the upstream-inherited "noImplicitAny": false from tsconfig.base.json — packages/* now compile under full strict mode; vendor/loader and vendor/include set it locally (vendor/cordis already did). Eliminated every `: any` / `as any` from packages and examples (catch clauses use unknown + a CodedError narrowing type; event data access uses discriminated-union narrowing). Typed tool schemas: new @deepseek-ai/dsh-tools schema DSL — SchemaSpec with per-property `required: true` booleans, type-level InferArgs<S>, a runtime SchemaSpec → JSON Schema converter, and defineTool() so first-party tools get typed execute(args) with zero casts (raw JSON Schema still accepted for MCP interop; chosen over schemastery because it targets JSON Schema generation directly). echo-tool and all test tools migrated; +7 tests.
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 mockLlmAdapterthat streams scripted responses and calls theechotool when the user types "echo "echo-tool.ts— a tool registered viactx.tools.register()that echoes text back uppercasedsession-jsonl.ts— a minimal persistence plugin: write-behind buffering ofsession/eventnotifications, drained to a JSONL file atsession/flushstdio-chat.ts— a minimal UI plugin: reads stdin lines andsend/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([]), streaming chunks with proper block-start/block-end protocol |
echo-tool.ts |
Tool registration | ctx.tools.register(), tool execution returning ContentBlock[] |
session-jsonl.ts |
Persistence | session/event listener + session/flush drain, fiber-dispose cleanup |
stdio-chat.ts |
UI | agent/stream-chunk, session/event (tool/*), stdin→send/steer |
start.ts |
Bootstrap | Context + Loader + plugin-include wired to cordis.yml |
Run
yarn demo
# 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 to <session-id>.jsonl in the examples/echo-agent/
directory. Clean up with: rm -f examples/echo-agent/*.jsonl
