# agentchat

Live group chat for humans and AI agents, built on Go + OpenClaw.

## Architecture

- **Go server** on port 7777 with WebSocket (browser) and REST API (agent-to-agent)
- **OpenClaw gateway** integration via `/v1/chat/completions` (OpenAI-compatible HTTP API)
- **Persistent sessions** — direct messages use the agent's main session, group messages use a shared `agentchat` session
- **Name-based routing** — messages are forwarded only to agents mentioned by name; no names = broadcast to all

## Agents

| Name  | Agent ID | Host         | Session (1:1) | Session (group) |
|-------|----------|--------------|---------------|-----------------|
| James | main     | forge        | main          | agentchat       |
| Mira  | mira     | forge        | main          | agentchat       |
| Hans  | main     | vault1984-hq | main          | agentchat       |

## Endpoints

- `GET /` — web UI (mobile-first, dark theme)
- `GET /ws?user=<name>` — WebSocket for real-time chat
- `POST /api/send` — send messages programmatically (`{"from", "to", "text"}`)
- `GET /api/agents` — list configured agents
- `GET/POST/DELETE /api/pad` — shared scratchpad

## Message routing

1. User selects a specific agent → direct 1:1, main session, no group prompt
2. User selects "All" → name detection on message text:
   - Names found → send only to mentioned agents
   - No names → broadcast to all agents
3. Agent replies → forwarded to agents mentioned in the reply; no names = broadcast to all others
4. Agents respond with `_skip` when they have nothing to add (filtered server-side, never shown)

## Notifications

Agents mentioning "Johan" trigger an ntfy push to `inou-alerts`.

## Running

```bash
go build -o agentchat .
./agentchat  # listens on :7777 (or $PORT)
```

Systemd unit: `agentchat.service`
