Agent Runtimes Control Plane

Which CP to use

Always use the hosted CP (agents.oreillyit.nz) for real agent work. Localhost is for testing only.

Use case CP to use
Real implementation tasks, spec work, any multi-step agent work https://agents.oreillyit.nz/api
Smoke-testing a new task payload format, debugging CP behaviour locally http://localhost:8100

Reason: workloads on the hosted CP are not coupled to this laptop's uptime. If the laptop sleeps or is closed, tasks on localhost stall or die. Tasks on the hosted CP keep running.

Since the M11 dashboard deployment, Traefik routes / to the React dashboard and /api/* to the CP API. Always use https://agents.oreillyit.nz/api as the CP_URL — not the bare hostname.

export CP_URL=https://agents.oreillyit.nz/api
scripts/dispatch-task --login ...   # first time per session — opens browser for OIDC
scripts/agent-monitor --login --filter "project=<project-name>" --filter "age<1h"

Task dispatch — always use a template or workflow

Never submit tasks via raw curl without explicit user approval. Raw curl bypasses:

  • Harness selection (agents start in empty containers with no credentials or context)
  • pre_actions clone (agents have no repo to work on)
  • agent_repo persistence (work is lost when the container exits)
  • requires_tags validation (tasks may be picked up by incompatible dispatchers)

Default approach — always one of:

  1. scripts/dispatch-task --template <name> for single implementation tasks
  2. scripts/dispatch-workflow for multi-node DAG workflows
  3. /manual-workflow skill for interactive workflows with human review gates

Template selection

Work type Template
Backend/CP implementation (migrations, APIs) opus-code-repo
Frontend implementation sonnet-code-repo
Planning / architecture opus-planning
Security review opus-security-review
Spec writing opus-spec-writer
Test writing opus-test-writer

Standard params for all code templates:

--template-param repo_url=git@gitea.oreillyit.nz-ai-enablement:skynet/agent-runtimes.git \
--template-param agent_repo_url=git@gitea.oreillyit.nz-ai-enablement:skynet/agent-runtimes-agents.git

If raw curl is genuinely needed (e.g., testing a new payload field), state the reason and get explicit user confirmation before submitting.

Monitoring

Recommend the user run agent-monitor in a separate terminal:

scripts/agent-monitor --login --filter "project=<project-name>" --filter "age<1h"

Adjust age to suit the session — 1h is a good default for hosted CP work since tasks persist across laptop sleep.
