theater-cli

[!NOTE] This documentation is incomplete, please reach out to me at colinrozzi@gmail.com. I very much appreciate your interest and would love to hear from you!

Command-line interface for the Theater WebAssembly actor system.

Installation

cargo install theater-cli

Create a new agent project

For now, we have to use cargo component manually

cargo component new my-agent --lib

Navigate to the agent directory

cd my-agent

edit wit/world.wit to include theater runtime interfaces: theater-simple a minimal world is:

package component:my-agent;

world default {
    import theater:simple/runtime;
    export theater:simple/actor;
}

Create a manifest.toml file in the agent directory with the following content:

name = "my-agent"
version = "0.1.0"
component = "will be replaced by theater build"

[[handlers]]
type = "runtime"

[handlers.config]

Build the agent

theater build

OR

cargo component build --target wasm32-unknown-unknown

theater build will automatically update the component path in manifest.toml to point to the built component, but it does hide some information that is nice to see.

Start an agent

theater start manifest.toml

Ensure the Theater server is running before starting agents, check out theater-server-cli for information on starting the server. The server manages the lifecycle of agents and provides a UI for monitoring.

List running agents

theater list
