README
Po
An agent harness that loads only the skills and tools you name.
It begins with one useful MCP server. Then another. Soon the agent fixing a heading wakes up with database tools, browser controls, and their small novel of schemas. This is our config.
Po is an opinionated, composable agent harness built on Pi. It is tailored for people whose agent has one MCP server too many. It turns extensions, skills, MCP servers, and system prompts into explicit session configuration instead of background noise.

Plugin systems scope what an agent knows. They do less to scope which configured plugins and MCP
servers a particular session can load. Claude Code's enableAllProjectMcpServers and static
denylist are repository-wide. Po draws that loading boundary around the session. Pick a major
mode and some domains; add a profile if you want one. Four YAML files decide what loads;
po --explain tells you what got in, why, and what it costs before launch.
It borrows its shape from Po Emacs Core: quick to start, close to Pi, opinionated where defaults help, and easy to pull apart when they do not. Use it as-is, build your own config on top, or raid it for parts.

Install
npm install -g @agimon-ai/po @agimon-ai/po-web
The package owns the CLI and the po-server executable and server API used
by the web and desktop clients. Bare po starts the po-web console from @agimon-ai/po-web, which
depends on po, so po finds it at run time and prints install guidance when it is missing.
The root package contains the fixed host foundation only. Feature packages are selected by
.po/modes.yaml and installed into the consumer repository when they are first needed.
Status and requirements
Po is alpha software. Configuration and package boundaries may still change between alpha releases.
- Node.js 24 or newer
- Release targets: macOS arm64, Linux x64, and Linux arm64
- Pi 1.0.0 for packages that declare it as a peer requirement
Pi 1.0 sessions and Codex Fast
Headless sessions use fresh durable-v1 storage. Earlier headless sessions cannot be resumed or
converted. Their files remain untouched, without migration or backups.
Use /fast on|off in CLI or server sessions, or the Fast switch in the web model picker.
Fast requests Codex priority service, which may increase cost, independently of thinking effort.
Fresh top-level sessions default to off. New subagents and child sessions inherit the parent's
current setting, then persist their own setting across resumes. Other providers never receive
Po's priority flag.
Quick start
po init # seed ~/.po
po sync # install configured packages and ensure the global builds
po # start po-web and po-server, then open the printed URL
po init creates config.yaml, modes.yaml, domains.yaml, and profiles.yaml under
~/.po. It preserves existing files unless you pass --force, and it removes the Po entries
and theme that earlier versions wrote to Pi user settings.
po sync installs the packages every declared layer names, so switching modes does not depend on the
root package's dependency closure. It then ensures the one global web build and the MCP app build exist.
It does not change either normal Pi settings file.
No generated per-repository state
Po writes nothing per repository or worktree. po-server composes every session live from configuration
and installed packages, importing each package's built dist directly, so a rebuilt or added package
reaches the next session without a sync or a restart. The cockpit web build is shared: it lives under
~/.po/build/web/<key>, where the key covers every web plugin package the global root and the
admitted workspaces use, so two repositories with the same plugins share one build.
Export the HTTP and socket contracts with po api-export --out ./api-schema --strict. It reads each
installed server package's built contract. See API export for artifact
formats, CI checks, and package declarations.
Run po sync --check to report missing packages or a missing global web build without writing anything.
Inside a repository, po sync installs for that repository. Outside every repository, it installs for the
global configuration in ~/.po.
Bare po passes every argument to po-web. Use --explain to resolve a selection without
starting a session:
po --major-mode copilot --no-domains --explain
po --major-mode minimal --no-domains --explain
Philosophy
An agent does not need every tool for every job. Po separates the base session from the things you switch on for a while: modes choose behavior, domains choose subject matter, and profiles choose a point of view.
Major and minor modes
A major mode is the base config. It names the extension layers for development, marketing, or whatever else you do. Define as many as you like; only one is active at a time. Synchronized sessions can reload compatible changes; launcher-owned composition changes require a relaunch.
Minor modes are batteries-included switches inside that base. They start off, stack freely, and keep their model tools and skills out of context until turned on. Po ships six:
- Help mode: expose package-owned guidance only while you need it.
- Plan mode: remove Pi's file-editing tools while you agree on an approach.
- Calendar layer: schedule durable prompts, workflows and plugin actions while the server is up.
- Goal mode: keep one objective in view until it is done or dismissed.
- Voice mode: replace typing with local speech.
Domains
A domain is a named group of agent plugins. It carries the skills and MCP servers for one
kind of work, and /domains switches it while the session is running.
Plugins are cataloged once and domains refer to their names. A configured root may be a Codex-compatible marketplace or a folder whose direct children are plugins, so a repository with many plugins does not need one entry per directory:
plugins:
roots: [plugins]
entries:
remote-review:
source: url
url: '<REVIEW_PLUGIN_GIT_URL>'
ref: v1.2.0
domains:
development:
description: Implementation and code-review tools.
plugins: [pi-development, remote-review]
Po also checks personal and repository Codex marketplace layouts. Marketplace IDs use
plugin@marketplace. Remote Git and npm sources are downloaded once into the persistent
~/.po/plugin-cache directory. Cache entries are reused until their source descriptor
changes; use a Git SHA or exact npm version for reproducible installs. Home and repository
catalogs merge, and repository names replace matching home names.
A blog is not one task. Research it, draft it, make the assets, then review it. Turn on the
visual domain while making assets; the other three steps have no reason to carry it.
Profile
An LLM has no house style until you give it one. A profile can supply a narrative, brand rules, or a different voice. It is optional; no profile is a perfectly good profile.
Profile roots remove the need to list every persona folder. A root may itself contain the
persona files, or its direct-child folders become profiles named after those folders. Po
recognizes profile.md, SOUL.md, and AGENTS.md and never searches deeper directories.
profiles:
roots: [agents/acme]
entries:
editor:
persona: agents/special/editor
env:
EDITOR_MODE: strict
Roots from the home and repository files accumulate relative to their declaring config.
Repository discoveries replace same-named home discoveries. Explicit entries override
discovery and can add string environment defaults; repository entries replace matching home
entries. Select one at launch with --profile editor or switch with /profile.
What this buys you
Every tool schema and skill name competes for the same context. Loading less has two immediate effects:
- You spend fewer tokens before the work begins.
- The model has fewer plausible-but-wrong tools and skills to choose from.
The savings get larger when each workflow job starts with its own config instead of inheriting the last job's toolbox.
Copilot
Po's web console exposes package-owned tools, commands, settings, and panels. Po no longer ships terminal leader menus, shortcuts, overlays, or widgets.
When the keyboard is the wrong tool, autonomous Voice mode keeps the conversation going. You can talk to the agent while doing the chores instead of carrying a laptop around the house, and the primary agent can speak its own opening, milestone, and final updates.
Autopilot
Copilot helps while you are present. Calendar and Workflow keep work moving when you are not. Together they can dispatch structured jobs from one live session.
Workflows
Po's native Workflow runtime starts each step as a configured child session.
Jobs select their major mode, domains, and system prompt through runConfig.
The tracked examples below contain complete definitions.
Native plugin and workflow examples
This source repository includes a complete, deliberately small example stack:
plugins/
development/ implementation skill and developer agent
testing/ testing and review skills, tester and reviewer agents
blog-writing/ research, outline, drafting, and editorial skills and agents
automations/workflows/
dev-feature.workflow.yml
dev-fix.workflow.yml
blog-writing.workflow.yml
Each plugin has both .codex-plugin/plugin.json and .claude-plugin/plugin.json, while its
skills/ and agents/ content is shared. .po/domains.yaml exposes the development,
testing, and blog domains plus the engineering alias. .po/modes.yaml mirrors the
standalone package set with workspace-local paths, keeps its canonical modes, and adds an
examples base mode with the workflow layer for the tracked workflows. Inspect the exact session before launch:
po --major-mode examples --domains engineering --explain
po --major-mode examples --domains blog --explain
The same bundles can be installed directly through either native marketplace:
# Codex
codex plugin marketplace add .
codex plugin add development@po-examples
# Claude Code
claude plugin marketplace add ./ --scope user
claude plugin install development@po-examples --scope user
Substitute testing or blog-writing to install another bundle. No Po-specific plugin
schema is involved.
List and dry-run the tracked workflows before spending a model call:
pnpm exec workflow-mcp list-workflows automations/workflows
pnpm exec workflow-mcp run-workflow automations/workflows/dev-feature.workflow.yml \
--dry-run --skip-launch --prompt "Add a health check"
pnpm exec workflow-mcp run-workflow automations/workflows/blog-writing.workflow.yml \
--dry-run --skip-launch --prompt "Write a practical guide to scoped agent tooling"
Real runs delegate to tmux by default and accept WORKFLOW_LAUNCHER=cmux. Development runs do
not create branches, commits, or pushes. Blog runs leave review-ready Markdown, sources, and a
publication checklist in the workflow run directory without writing into a site or calling a CMS.
These examples live in the source repository and are not part of the published npm tarball.
Calendar
Workflow definitions are exposed like skills, so the agent can choose one for the job. A Calendar event can send a subagent to fetch the next task, then dispatch the workflow that matches it. One session becomes the dispatcher instead of the place every job has to fit.
Features
Po is a modular agent harness, not one giant extension. Each package owns one job; shared UI,
Cordis services, and session contracts make them behave like one. Use the generated
default.packages list together, remove packages you do not want, or replace its entries one
at a time. Selectable packages are not runtime dependencies of the root package or of one another.
Foundation and interface
Configuration and composition
@agimon-ai/po is the command-line config compiler and the po-server runtime.
po init creates the personal config, and bare po starts the po-web console. Sync resolves every major
mode and domain into native server, web, MCP, and resource contributions.
Supporting packages
@agimon-ai/po-config resolves the four YAML files and exposes the
configuration API. @agimon-ai/po-domain owns domain selection, plugin
materialization, resource staging, and MCP scoping.
@agimon-ai/po-core contains the shared
Cordis service and event contracts used by extension authors.
@agimon-ai/po-hashline provides the shared snapshot tags and line-anchor
protocol. @agimon-ai/po-read and @agimon-ai/po-grep
produce editable anchors for writable files while preserving native output for non-writable files.
@agimon-ai/po-edit replaces Pi's search-and-replace edit tool with
stale-safe ranges anchored to the file content the model read or searched.
@agimon-ai/po-file-edit keeps the edit timeline and file snapshots.
The fixed @agimon-ai/po-artifact package gives each session a durable artifact folder,
names it in the system prompt, and shows recent artifacts in web and native Activity.
The Artifacts heading opens all files in that session's folder as a grid.
@agimon-ai/po-log collects session events, while
@agimon-ai/po-core/telemetry is the library-level telemetry adapter. Po Log's logsink code-mode namespace reads session evidence and explicitly selected cross-session history.
Runner selects matching RMUX and RTK native artifacts automatically. Do not install them directly. The packages cover macOS and Linux on arm64 and x64 for both RMUX and RTK.
Shared UI
@agimon-ai/po-ui supplies shared web presentation and theme utilities.
Terminal leader bindings and overlays have been retired.
Coordinated work
Agent team
@agimon-ai/po-team runs named subagents asynchronously. It owns agents,
runs, membership, intercom, and model policy; Task owns the persistent task graph used for
delegation. Agents can work in parallel and message one another through native Team tools.
Tasks
@agimon-ai/po-task keeps a task graph on disk, not a disposable checklist in the
transcript. Dependencies persist independently of transcript compaction, and work can be handed to
a subagent, including a smaller model when the job does not need the expensive one. Seeded
minimal and copilot modes select its task layer; omit that layer when a major mode
should not expose the task tool.
Runner
@agimon-ai/po-runner replaces Pi's blocking bash tool with
supervised command execution. po init includes Runner in default.packages, so every
generated mode gets it. Short commands still return inline; commands that pass the configurable
threshold of 60 seconds by default move into the background with durable logs. Use
background: true for an immediate detached run or interactive: true when the command needs
terminal input. Runner IDs and complete raw logs remain available to the current session through
the po-runner CLI. Runner tries bundled RMUX, then rmux on PATH,
then tmux on PATH. If no pane backend accepts the run, non-interactive commands use a supervised
subprocess; interactive commands require RMUX or tmux. Conservatively recognized single commands
use the matching RTK stdin filter after completion. Compound commands, pipelines, incompatible
formats, and unsupported commands keep bounded raw output. Remove Runner from default.packages to keep Pi's
bash, or add it to a named layer when only selected modes should replace bash.
Auto-compact
Ordinary compaction waits for one summary to save an overgrown session.
@agimon-ai/po-autocompact leaves checkpoints instead:
- At 50%, it writes the first compact summary.
- Later, it combines that summary with the messages since; the model decides whether the result is ready to use.
- On the third pass, it combines them again and forces compaction.
The work runs off-thread and can make up to three additional summarization calls. The standard adapter preserves staged conversation checkpoints; Task and Team keep their own state rather than being embedded as special snapshots in the compact summary.
Context and access
Help mode
@agimon-ai/po-help keeps package guidance out of the default prompt. A
fresh parent session performs no Help retrieval and exposes no Help skills. Activate Help with the
native minor_mode tool, then deactivate it before the next interaction.
Help names state their intent: authoring
guides use po-author-*, while operational guides use po-use-*. Core authoring guidance
covers extensions, runtime config, major modes, domains, profiles, hooks, workflows, and skills.
Parent and detached-child sessions both include the Help runtime, while root and axis authoring
guides remain parent-owned and all guidance stays withdrawn until Help mode is activated.
MCP
@agimon-ai/po-mcp is the gate between a session and its servers. It reads
repository and legacy plugin .mcp.json plus Agent Plugins v1 mcp.json, then exposes only the
servers and proxy upstreams allowed by the selected domains. A domain switch persists an immutable
projection; Config publishes it through the native session Cordis registry and MCP starts a fresh
in-memory mcp-proxy container. No Hono server or localhost proxy sits in this path.
Ask user question
@agimon-ai/po-user-feedback gives the agent a structured question
that actually waits for an answer. In autonomous Voice mode it skips the modal, narrates the
choices, and accepts the next spoken response as an ordinary user message.
Logging and telemetry
Po logging records operational metadata such as counters, spans, session IDs, tool names, and
errors. Callers remain responsible for values they attach to telemetry. Native diagnostics expose
current-session metrics, and @agimon-ai/po-logsink provides historical lookup
when a sink is configured.
Plan mode
A promise to "only plan" is not a permission boundary. @agimon-ai/po-plan
removes edit and write tools while the agent explores, persists the plan, and hands it back
for approval. It does not sandbox Bash, external tools, or the operating system. Use the native
planning tools and web review surface; terminal planning menus are no longer available.
Turn it on when the approach should be settled before the files move.
Calendar layer
@agimon-ai/po-calendar schedules durable prompts, workflows and plugin actions.
Keep the calendar layer in the home default major mode for the scheduler. Workflow success means launched,
not finished. Plugin-managed events cannot be edited, but pause, resume, run now and cancel remain available.
Busy runs and downtime are skipped, never replayed. Back up before upgrading: older Calendar versions
cannot read events saved with workflow, action or assignment fields.
Goal mode
@agimon-ai/po-goal pins one objective to the session until it completes or
you end it. Native goal tools manage the active objective and repository history. Finished goals
stop contributing active instructions and tools but remain in history when you want to restart one.
Workflow layer
@agimon-ai/po-workflow runs GitHub Actions-style job graphs with
dependencies, timeouts, artifacts, and a separate Po session for each step. Native workflow tools
and the web workflow dock expose launch, status, and recovery. It is for work that needs hard job
boundaries and explicit handoffs rather than one long conversation.
Voice mode
@agimon-ai/po-voice captures PCM audio through the local platform helper
and can transcribe it locally. Transcript text, session state, and model requests may still cross
process or provider boundaries according to the configured engines. Native voice controls manual
dictation, while voice-auto controls autonomous capture. The active native session receives the
Voice capabilities and narrate tool.
While narrate is available, the primary agent calls it before every user-facing final
response. Final narration contains the complete answer, including every user-relevant
conclusion, question, warning, result, and next action in the written response, rather than
leaving essential information only in text. Short turns need one complete spoken answer;
longer work also gets an opening and meaningful milestone calls. Each ready-to-speak
utterance is limited to 4,096 characters, waits for physical playback, and returns
completed, interrupted, superseded, or failed.
If the agent never attempts narrate during a run, active Voice speaks one sanitized
turn-end fallback rather than leaving the final response silent. Finals of at most 320
characters use deterministic speech; longer finals use the configured
voice.autoCapture.model for one bounded summary, with deterministic degradation on
failure or timeout. Any narrate attempt suppresses this safety net, so it cannot duplicate
or retry direct speech. Voice does not generate automatic intent, plan, milestone, or tool
progress narration. Native workflow and user-feedback narration remain available, and the same
model continues to provide bounded command correction.
Configuration
Po reads four configuration files:
config.yamldefines runtime settings such as trust, editor, planning, and voice behavior.modes.yamldefines default packages, extension layers, and major modes.domains.yamlcatalogs plugins and sets session access.profiles.yamlsupplies persona files and environment defaults.
Each matrix file has two optional layers: personal defaults in ~/.po/ and repository
overrides in <repository>/.po/. Po loads both. Unique named entries from either layer
remain available; a same-named repository entry replaces the complete personal entry. Plugin
and profile roots from both layers are retained. Relative paths in personal config resolve
from ~/.po/; relative paths in repository config resolve from the repository root.
modes.yaml: choose behavior
A layer is an ordered bundle of extension packages and hook groups. A major mode names the
layers that should run together. The top-level default.packages list is the ordered package
baseline for every major mode. po init writes the distribution's current
feature packages there so the baseline is visible and replaceable. If default is absent,
Po adds no default feature packages. Use default.packages: [] for an explicit empty
baseline. The fixed host core remains active independently of this setting, and named layers
keep their existing behavior.
Launch installs missing required packages from the defaults and selected layers. po sync
installs missing required packages from the defaults and every declared layer, moves every
package in Po's shared ~/.po/runtime to its newest published version, then builds the
synchronized matrix. A package whose published version cannot be read, because the machine is
offline or the registry refuses the request, keeps its installed version and is named in the
sync output. po sync --check reports missing packages without modifying the repository. Optional packages and local paths are not installed automatically. Removing an
entry stops activating it but leaves Pi's package cache available for later reuse.
Packages in default and named layers may be bare strings, or mappings when the package accepts
configuration:
default:
packages:
- '@agimon-ai/po-help'
- '@agimon-ai/po-goal'
- '@agimon-ai/po-voice'
- '@agimon-ai/po-runner'
- '@agimon-ai/po-read'
- '@agimon-ai/po-grep'
- '@agimon-ai/po-edit'
- '@agimon-ai/po-file-edit'
- '@agimon-ai/po-autocompact'

defaultMajorMode: copilot
majorMode:
minimal:
description: Lean sessions with delegation and little else.
layers: [team, workflow, calendar]
copilot:
description: General coding with delegation and review tools.
layers: [team, review, workflow, calendar]
Order matters: Po assembles default.packages first, then the selected layers and their
packages from left to right. Put settings under the package that consumes them; a layer is
composition, not a mystery bag of shared configuration. Home and repository layers and
majorMode records merge by name, with the repository definition winning a collision. If both
sources declare default, the repository block replaces the personal block as one whole package
list.
Workflow is selected through the workflow layer, not a minor-mode switch. New seeds
include it in minimal, copilot and examples; remove the layer from a mode to omit it.
Existing default.packages entries still work and deduplicate with the layer. No config
migration runs, and persisted minorModes: [workflow] has no effect.
Configurations created before the hashline tools were split may contain only po-edit.
Replace that entry with the ordered po-read, po-grep, and po-edit trio. Init
preserves existing configuration unless it is run with --force.
Choose a mode with --major-mode copilot, switch it with /mode, or change
defaultMajorMode when one mode should be the ordinary starting point.
domains.yaml: choose content and access
Plugins are cataloged once, then domains refer to their names. A root can be a marketplace, a single plugin, or a container whose direct-child folders are plugins. Discovery is intentionally nonrecursive: a tool buried five directories down should not load by accident.
defaultDomains: [development]
plugins:
roots: [plugins]
entries:
remote-review:
source: url
url: '<REVIEW_PLUGIN_GIT_URL>'
ref: v1.2.0
published-research:
source: npm
package: '@acme/research-plugin'
version: 1.4.0
domains:
development:
description: Repository implementation tools.
plugins: [coding-tools]
review:
description: Focused review skills with a narrow MCP boundary.
plugins:
- name: remote-review
skills: [typescript]
agents: [reviewer]
hooks: false
mcp: true
mcp:
servers: [filesystem]
proxy: [github]
aliases:
work: [development, review]
Here, coding-tools is discovered from plugins/coding-tools; its manifest name, or its
folder name when no manifest name exists, becomes the catalog ID. Local roots and entries
resolve beside the declaring file. Git and npm entries are cached in
~/.po/plugin-cache; pin a Git SHA or exact package version when reproducibility
matters. Domains may load an entire plugin or select only its skills, agents, hooks, and MCP
configuration. The optional mcp mapping is an allowlist, not a request to start every server
in the repository.
Select one or more domains with --domains development,review, use an alias such as
--domains work, or switch them with /domains. --no-domains is useful when the right
amount of repository context is none.
profiles.yaml: choose a point of view
A profile directory becomes discoverable when it directly contains profile.md, SOUL.md,
or AGENTS.md. A root may be one profile or a container of direct-child profiles. The folder
name becomes the profile name; Po concatenates those three files in that order.
profiles:
roots: [personas]
entries:
release-writer:
persona: personas/release-writer
env:
BRAND: acme
TONE: concise
With that config, personas/release-writer/profile.md is enough to discover
release-writer. The explicit entry is optional; use one when the profile needs another name,
an exact persona path, or string environment defaults. Explicit entries override discovered
folders. Already exported environment values win, so selecting a profile never quietly
replaces a value supplied by the caller.
Discovery never recurses. Persona paths must remain under agents/ or a root declared in the
same file, and symlinks may not escape the persona boundary. Legacy profiles written directly
under profiles still load, but new configuration should use roots and entries.
Select a profile with --profile release-writer or switch it with /profile. Leaving the
catalog empty is valid; no profile remains a first-class choice.
Check the matrix before launch
The fastest configuration debugger is the one that does not start a model:
po --major-mode copilot --domains work --profile release-writer --explain
po sync
po sync --check
--explain prints the resolved mode, domains, profile, plugins, skills, agents, MCP boundary,
and estimated prompt cost. po sync resolves the repository configuration and publishes
synchronized state. po sync --check turns drift into a
non-zero exit code for CI. If the explanation is surprising, fix the YAML before paying a model
to be surprised with you.
Trust and data boundaries
Po executes the extensions, remote Git/npm plugins, hooks, MCP stdio commands, workflows, and shell commands you configure. Treat them as trusted executable code. Runner commands inherit the process environment and operating-system privileges; their logs may contain command output and secrets. MCP credentials may live in the system keyring or private configuration files.
Voice can keep PCM capture and transcription local when local engines are selected, but transcript text and model requests follow the configured providers. Calendar, Workflow, Plan, Autocompact, Team, and autonomous Voice can make additional model calls. Telemetry is disabled or redirected through its owning package's controls; values supplied by callers are not automatically scrubbed.

Troubleshooting and direct use
- Run
po sync --checkto detect drift or missing configured packages, andpo syncto install them and rebuild synchronized state. - If neither RMUX nor tmux is available, non-interactive Runner calls report the supervised subprocess fallback. Interactive calls require RMUX or tmux. Linux native artifacts require a compatible loader and libc.
- Po-owned packages expose native server, web, and MCP contributions, not Pi entry points. Install
them with
npm installor select them inmodes.yaml. Third-party Pi settings packages still load through the upstream SDK extension host, including provider registration before model selection. - Terminal leader menus, shortcuts, overlays, and widgets are no longer shipped. Native commands, tools, and web panels remain where the owning package provides them. RMUX and RTK artifacts are selected by Runner and should not be installed directly.
- The root
po-runnercommand delegates to Runner from the active repository and asks you to add Runner tomodes.yamlwhen it is absent. The distribution remains the supported way to get the coordinated defaults. - The Ollama preset and launcher
--muteand--auto-stopflags are retired. They do not have replacement terminal extensions.
Architecture
See Architecture for native server/web/MCP contributions, canonical fingerprints, transition classification, shared-host Cordis lifecycle ownership, and parent/child isolation. Po no longer composes its own Pi factories; third-party Pi packages remain supported through the SDK host.

Maintainer release order

The deploy workflow blocks publishing unless the deterministic Po architecture sweep and the packed-install system tests both pass. This keeps the shared Cordis host contract and independently loaded extension graph inside the same release boundary as the packages that consume them.
