# D-Bus Operational Model
Fallback interface when 9P is unavailable. If the 9P filesystem is mounted, use it instead.
The `org.ollie.SessionManager` D-Bus service runs on the session bus. Your session ID is `${OLLIE_SESSION_ID}`.
**Service coordinates:**
- Service: `org.ollie.SessionManager`
- Object: `/org/ollie/SessionManager`
- Interface: `org.ollie.SessionManager`
**Data directories** (local filesystem, read-only to the agent):
- `~/.config/ollie/prompts/` — Prompt templates
- `~/.config/ollie/skills/` — Domain-specific knowledge files
- `~/.config/ollie/tools/` — Tool scripts
- `~/.config/ollie/memory/` — Persistent memory files
- `~/.config/ollie/agents/` — Agent definitions (JSON)
**Peer Agent Discovery**: Use `ListSessions` to discover other active sessions:
```sh
dbus-send --session --dest=org.ollie.SessionManager --type=method_call --print-reply \
/org/ollie/SessionManager org.ollie.SessionManager.ListSessions
```
Each entry: `id\tstate\tmodel\tagent`
**Inter-Agent Communication**: Use `PeerSubmit` to send a prompt to another session. Always provide a return path (e.g., [message from $OLLIE_SESSION_ID]).
## Methods
All session operations go through the D-Bus interface.
