# ollie
A Go library for building agentic systems. Provides a sandboxed `execute_code` tool, a common LLM backend interface, MCP server support, and a skill system for domain-specific capabilities.
Works well with [anvillm](https://github.com/lneely/anvillm), which provides a skill system, tool scripts, and multi-agent infrastructure.
The reference frontend is [ollie-tui](https://github.com/lneely/ollie-tui), a terminal UI built on top of this library.
## Packages
```
pkg/agent/ — Core interface, agent loop, session management
pkg/backend/ — Backend interface + implementations (Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Copilot, Kiro)
pkg/config/ — Config struct and loader
pkg/mcp/ — MCP client
pkg/tools/ — Server and Dispatcher interfaces; tool definitions
pkg/tools/execute/ — execute.Server: execute_code, execute_tool, execute_pipe
pkg/tools/reasoning/ — reasoning.Server: reasoning_think, reasoning_plan
```
## Install
```
mk
```
Installs sandbox config to `~/.config/ollie/sandbox/`.
## Configuration
### Environment: `~/.config/ollie/env`
```
OLLIE_BACKEND=openai # ollama | openai | openrouter | anthropic | copilot | kiro (default: ollama)
OLLIE_OLLAMA_URL= # base URL for Ollama (default: http://localhost:11434)
OLLIE_OPENAI_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api
OLLIE_OPENAI_KEY=sk-or-...
OLLIE_ANTHROPIC_KEY=sk-ant-...
OLLIE_COPILOT_TOKEN=...
OLLIE_KIRO_TOKEN=... # bearer token or sqlite:// path (auto-detected from Kiro CLI if unset)
OLLIE_MODEL=qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b
OLLIE_TOOLS_PATH=~/.config/ollie/tools # directory for execute_tool scripts
```
Shell environment variables take precedence over the env file.
### Config file: `~/.config/ollie/config.json`
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"my-server": {
"command": "my-mcp-server",
"args": [],
"env": {
"API_TOKEN": "${API_TOKEN}"
}
}
},
"hooks": {
"agentSpawn": "notify-send ollie started",
"userPromptSubmit": "",
"stop": ""
}
}
```
MCP server `env` values support `${VAR}` expansion from the parent environment.
### Sandbox config: `~/.config/ollie/sandbox.yaml`
Controls landrun sandboxing for `execute_code`. Created automatically with defaults on first run. See the file header for documentation.
## Tools
Five built-in tools across two servers:
- `execute_code` — run inline shell code in a sandbox
- `execute_tool` — run a named tool script from `OLLIE_TOOLS_PATH` (default: `~/.config/ollie/tools`)
- `execute_pipe` — chain steps as a pipeline
- `reasoning_think` — externalize intermediate reasoning
- `reasoning_plan` — decompose a goal into ordered steps; persists to task backend if available, otherwise queued via fallback backend or in-context only
File operations go through `execute_code` using standard shell tools (`cat`, `grep`, `sed`, `ed`, `ssam` if plan9port is available, etc.).
MCP server tools are discovered at startup and available alongside the built-ins.
Each tool server exports a `Decl` function that returns a `func() tools.Server` factory. `execute.Decl(workdir)` accepts a working directory used as `cmd.Dir` for sandboxed commands and for `{CWD}` expansion in the sandbox config; pass `""` to fall back to `os.Getwd()`. Frontends register servers by passing Decl results to `tools.NewDispatcherFunc`. Adding a new tool means implementing `tools.Server`, exporting a `Decl` function, and registering it — no frontend changes required.
## Skills
Skills are domain-specific knowledge files served from the ollie 9P mount (`sk/` directory).
```sh
# Discover
ls ${OLLIE_9MOUNT:-$HOME/mnt/ollie}/sk/
grep -li <keyword> ${OLLIE_9MOUNT:-$HOME/mnt/ollie}/sk/*.md
# Load
cat ${OLLIE_9MOUNT:-$HOME/mnt/ollie}/sk/<name>.md
```
Skills are sourced from `OLLIE_SKILLS_PATH` (default: `~/.config/ollie/skills/`). The `sk/` directory in the mount exposes them as flat `<name>.md` files.
## Integrations
**[9beads-mcp](https://github.com/lneely/9beads-mcp)** provides task persistence using **[9beads](https://github.com/lneely/9beads)** — enabling the agent to track, list, and manage tasks across sessions.
