Agents

Every agent runs as an external ACP subprocess — Nori is the harness around it. Pick with /agent in the TUI or -a <slug> at launch.

Built in

Slug	Provider	Context window	Runs via
claude-code (default)	Anthropic	1M	the Claude Code ACP adapter
codex	OpenAI	258K	the Codex ACP adapter
gemini	Google	1M	Gemini CLI’s native ACP mode

Adapters launch through bunx when bun is on your PATH, otherwise npx.

Bring your own

Register any ACP-speaking agent in ~/.nori/cli/config.toml:

[[agents]]
name = "My Agent"
slug = "my-agent"

[agents.distribution.npx]
package = "my-acp-agent"
args = ["--acp"]

Distribution variants: local (a command on your machine), npx, bunx, pipx, or uvx. Optional keys: context_window_size, auth_hint, transcript_base_dir. A custom slug that matches a built-in replaces it.

Capabilities are agent-driven: Nori enables /compact, /fork, session listing, and /config per agent based on what the agent advertises in its ACP handshake.
