Thin runtime dispatcher for AI agents. Shells out to lenos or claude — does not run in-process agent loops.

Einai is a wrapper daemon that receives agent requests and dispatches them to the right runtime. It manages agent discovery, project resolution, async job queues, and output formatting. The CLI binary is ei.

Lenos and Claude Code are agent runtimes. Einai sits above them: it resolves projects, validates agent access, manages background job queues, and delivers completion notifications. ttal delegates agent execution to einai.

ttal       orchestrator — task routing, pipelines, worker spawning
einai      dispatcher — agent discovery, project resolution, job queue
lenos      agent runtime — lenos-family agents (internal ttal agents)
claude     agent runtime — Claude Code agents (CC agents)
organon    tools — src, web fetch

Releases See GitHub Releases for binaries and version history.

ei daemon run &        # start daemon (foreground, background it)
ei daemon status       # check health
ei ask 'how does routing work?' --project myapp
ei agent run coder 'implement the auth module'
ei agent list

ei ask 'question' [flags]

Ask a question with access to the current directory, registered projects, repos, or a URL.

Examples:

ei ask "how does the auth middleware work?"
ei ask "how does routing work?" --project myapp
ei ask "explain the pipeline syntax" --repo woodpecker-ci/woodpecker
ei ask "what auth methods?" --url https://docs.example.com
ei ask "summarize this project" --save

ei fetch [prompt]

Research the web with the embedded webdiver agent. The prompt can be a positional argument, piped via stdin, or both.

Examples:

ei fetch "latest Go generics syntax?"
cat notes.md | ei fetch "check these claims against current docs"

ei agent run <name> [prompt] [flags]  # run a named agent
ei agent list                          # list discovered agents

Examples:

ei agent run coder "implement auth"
echo "implement X" | ei agent run coder
ei agent run coder --runtime lenos "implement auth"
ei agent run coder --env OPENAI_KEY=xxx --env DEBUG=true

ei daemon run      # start daemon in foreground
ei daemon status   # check daemon health

The daemon listens on a unix socket at ~/.einai/daemon.sock. CLI commands send requests to the daemon, which dispatches to the appropriate runtime and returns a blocking JSON response.

Endpoints:

• POST /ask — blocking JSON AskResponse{result, duration_ms, error}
• POST /agent/run — blocking JSON AgentResponse{result, duration_ms, error}
• GET /health — liveness check

Config is read from ~/.config/einai/config.toml.
