fluffbuzz agents

Manage isolated agents (workspaces + auth + routing). Related:

Examples

fluffbuzz agents list
fluffbuzz agents list --bindings
fluffbuzz agents add work --workspace ~/.fluffbuzz/workspace-work
fluffbuzz agents add ops --workspace ~/.fluffbuzz/workspace-ops --bind telegram:ops --non-interactive
fluffbuzz agents bindings
fluffbuzz agents bind --agent work --bind telegram:ops
fluffbuzz agents unbind --agent work --bind telegram:ops
fluffbuzz agents set-identity --workspace ~/.fluffbuzz/workspace --from-identity
fluffbuzz agents set-identity --agent main --avatar avatars/fluffbuzz.png
fluffbuzz agents delete work

Routing bindings

Use routing bindings to pin inbound channel traffic to a specific agent. If you also want different visible skills per agent, configure agents.defaults.skills and agents.list[].skills in fluffbuzz.json. See Skills config and Configuration Reference. List bindings:
fluffbuzz agents bindings
fluffbuzz agents bindings --agent work
fluffbuzz agents bindings --json
Add bindings:
fluffbuzz agents bind --agent work --bind telegram:ops --bind discord:guild-a
If you omit accountId (--bind <channel>), FluffBuzz resolves it from channel defaults and plugin setup hooks when available. If you omit --agent for bind or unbind, FluffBuzz targets the current default agent.

Binding scope behavior

  • A binding without accountId matches the channel default account only.
  • accountId: "*" is the channel-wide fallback (all accounts) and is less specific than an explicit account binding.
  • If the same agent already has a matching channel binding without accountId, and you later bind with an explicit or resolved accountId, FluffBuzz upgrades that existing binding in place instead of adding a duplicate.
Example:
# initial channel-only binding
fluffbuzz agents bind --agent work --bind telegram

# later upgrade to account-scoped binding
fluffbuzz agents bind --agent work --bind telegram:ops
After the upgrade, routing for that binding is scoped to telegram:ops. If you also want default-account routing, add it explicitly (for example --bind telegram:default). Remove bindings:
fluffbuzz agents unbind --agent work --bind telegram:ops
fluffbuzz agents unbind --agent work --all
unbind accepts either --all or one or more --bind values, not both.

Command surface

agents

Running fluffbuzz agents with no subcommand is equivalent to fluffbuzz agents list.

agents list

Options:
  • --json
  • --bindings: include full routing rules, not only per-agent counts/summaries

agents add [name]

Options:
  • --workspace <dir>
  • --model <id>
  • --agent-dir <dir>
  • --bind <channel[:accountId]> (repeatable)
  • --non-interactive
  • --json
Notes:
  • Passing any explicit add flags switches the command into the non-interactive path.
  • Non-interactive mode requires both an agent name and --workspace.
  • main is reserved and cannot be used as the new agent id.

agents bindings

Options:
  • --agent <id>
  • --json

agents bind

Options:
  • --agent <id> (defaults to the current default agent)
  • --bind <channel[:accountId]> (repeatable)
  • --json

agents unbind

Options:
  • --agent <id> (defaults to the current default agent)
  • --bind <channel[:accountId]> (repeatable)
  • --all
  • --json

agents delete <id>

Options:
  • --force
  • --json
Notes:
  • main cannot be deleted.
  • Without --force, interactive confirmation is required.
  • Workspace, agent state, and session transcript directories are moved to Trash, not hard-deleted.

Identity files

Each agent workspace can include an IDENTITY.md at the workspace root:
  • Example path: ~/.fluffbuzz/workspace/IDENTITY.md
  • set-identity --from-identity reads from the workspace root (or an explicit --identity-file)
Avatar paths resolve relative to the workspace root.

Set identity

set-identity writes fields into agents.list[].identity:
  • name
  • theme
  • emoji
  • avatar (workspace-relative path, http(s) URL, or data URI)
Options:
  • --agent <id>
  • --workspace <dir>
  • --identity-file <path>
  • --from-identity
  • --name <name>
  • --theme <theme>
  • --emoji <emoji>
  • --avatar <value>
  • --json
Notes:
  • --agent or --workspace can be used to select the target agent.
  • If you rely on --workspace and multiple agents share that workspace, the command fails and asks you to pass --agent.
  • When no explicit identity fields are provided, the command reads identity data from IDENTITY.md.
Load from IDENTITY.md:
fluffbuzz agents set-identity --workspace ~/.fluffbuzz/workspace --from-identity
Override fields explicitly:
fluffbuzz agents set-identity --agent main --name "FluffBuzz" --emoji "🐾" --avatar avatars/fluffbuzz.png
Config sample:
{
  agents: {
    list: [
      {
        id: "main",
        identity: {
          name: "FluffBuzz",
          theme: "space puppy",
          emoji: "🐾",
          avatar: "avatars/fluffbuzz.png",
        },
      },
    ],
  },
}
