Runnable demo: stdin chat with a scripted mock model and an echo tool.
cordis.yml — the standard "stack of plugins" patternmock-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 uppercasedsession-jsonl.ts — a minimal persistence plugin: write-behind buffering of
session/event notifications, drained to a JSONL file at session/flushstdio-chat.ts — a minimal UI plugin: reads stdin lines and send/steers
the agent, renders stream deltas, tool calls, and tool results| 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[] |
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 |
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
