CLI Delegation

Plot every CLI on one sheet.

Any CLI becomes a delegate. Delegates become a council. The council ships one verdict.

Alone, each CLI is an opinion. Convened, they’re a verdict.

§ 1.1

clink

Run a configured CLI as a subprocess subagent and return its final output. Single-shot, stateless, safe to run in parallel.

§ 1.2

context_builder

Build a persisted, attachable context bundle from allowed roots before you delegate. Deterministic selection; any prior run can be refined.

Control plane

Start a council, step away, come back — every run is resumable and can be checked on at any time.

Watch the verdict land.

a council run, replayed from the workflow dashboard

Animated demo replaying a council-code-review run: context preflight succeeds (discover, curator, finalizer, materialize), three reviewers run in parallel, cross-review and ranking follow, and the chairman lands the verdict — approve, two advisory notes, synthesis at artifacts/verdict.md.

III · bProgress board

Agents write. The board reads.

a session's shared progress page, replayed live

Animated demo replaying an agent progress report for the run-monitor parity restyle session: twelve tasks on a completion timeline, four agents, and a live activity log. Tasks flip to done as agents write, completion climbs from 58 to 75 percent, and the reviewer picks up the parity reshoot.

IVConfig & safety

Adapters, not allowlists.

Any CLI you can spawn, described in one JSON file.

discovery order: CLINKX_CONFIG_PATH, then XDG config, then bundled conf/adapters — first location with adapters wins. Node >= 24. Animated demo probes each location and loads grok.json from conf/adapters.

4.3 · Safety

Inputs are validated before anything spawns. What spawns runs as you — no sandbox, no pretense.

VSessions

Elaris sessions, driven from your CLI.

A sister project, exposed as an opt-in remote session family — start long-running remote agents and drive them without leaving the MCP surface.

Animated demo replaying an Elaris session: the run starts on a worktree, reads the README with one secret redacted, proposes a plan, produces a diff, takes a second turn, and pushes — the session stays alive for turn three.

Two toolsclink_elaris_run starts a session; clink_elaris_manage drives it.
Multi-turnkeep_alive sessions take follow-up turns, recoverable by run_id.
GitHub-awareTarget a branch or create a worktree — validated before send.
Credential-safe readsEvery read carries a redaction count; raw blobs withheld on detection.
