The Deep Agents CLI is an open source terminal coding agent built on the Deep Agents SDK. It retains persistent memory, maintains context across sessions, learns project conventions, uses customizable skills, and executes code with approval controls. Deep Agents CLI The Deep Agents CLI has the following built-in capabilities:
  • File operations - read, write, and edit files with tools that enable agents to manage and modify code and documentation.
  • Shell execution - execute commands to run tests, build projects, manage dependencies, and interact with version control.
  • Web search - search the web for up-to-date information and documentation (requires Tavily API key).
  • HTTP requests - make HTTP requests to APIs and external services for data fetching and integration tasks.
  • Task planning and tracking - break down complex tasks into discrete steps and track progress.
  • Memory storage and retrieval - store and retrieve information across sessions, enabling agents to remember project conventions and learned patterns.
  • Context compaction & offloading - summarize older conversation messages and offload originals to storage, freeing context window space during long sessions.
  • Human-in-the-loop - require human approval for sensitive tool operations.
  • Skills - extend agent capabilities with custom expertise and instructions.
  • MCP tools - load external tools from Model Context Protocol servers.
  • Tracing - trace agent operations in LangSmith for observability and debugging.

​
Built-in tools

The agent comes with the following built-in tools which are available without configuration:
ToolDescriptionHuman-in-the-Loop
lsList files and directories-
read_fileRead contents of a file; multimodal content for select models-
write_fileCreate or overwrite a fileRequired1
edit_fileMake targeted edits to existing filesRequired1
globFind files matching a pattern-
grepSearch for text patterns across files-
executeExecute shell commands locally or in a remote sandboxRequired1
web_searchSearch the web using TavilyRequired1
fetch_urlFetch and convert web pages to markdownRequired1
taskDelegate work to subagents for parallel executionRequired1
ask_userAsk the user free-form or multiple-choice questions-
compact_conversationSummarize older messages, offload originals to backend storage, and replace them in context with the summaryMixed2
write_todosCreate and manage task lists for complex work-
1: Potentially destructive operations require user approval before execution. To bypass human approval, you can toggle auto-approve (shift+tab) or start with the option:
deepagents -y
# or
deepagents --auto-approve
When running the CLI non-interactively (via -n or piped stdin), shell execution is disabled by default even with -y/--auto-approve. Use -S/--shell-allow-list to allowlist specific commands (e.g., -S "pytest,git,make"), recommended for safe defaults, or all to permit any command. The DEEPAGENTS_CLI_SHELL_ALLOW_LIST environment variable is also supported. See Non-interactive mode and piping for more details.
2: The CLI automatically offloads the conversation in the background when token usage exceeds a model-aware threshold. Offloading summarizes older messages via the LLM, and ejects originals to storage (/conversation_history/{thread_id}.md), replacing them in context with the summary. The agent can still retrieve the full history from the offloaded file if needed. The compact_conversation tool lets the agent (or you) trigger offloading on demand. When called as a tool, it requires user approval by default.
Watch the demo video to see how the Deep Agents CLI works.
The Deep Agents CLI is not officially supported on Windows. Windows users can try running it under Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

​
Quickstart

Set model credentials

Export your provider’s API key as an environment variable or add it to ~/.deepagents/.env:
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
Store keys in ~/.deepagents/.env so they’re available in every project without per-shell exports. See environment variables.
The CLI works with any LLM that supports tool calling — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Ollama, and many more. See Providers for setup details.

Install and run

The CLI ships with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google support by default. Other providers (Ollama, Groq, xAI, etc.) are installed as optional extras — see Providers for details.
curl -LsSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/langchain-ai/deepagents/refs/heads/main/libs/cli/scripts/install.sh | bash

deepagents

Give the agent a task

Create a Python script that prints "Hello, World!"
The agent proposes changes with diffs for your approval before modifying files.

Enable tracing (optional)

Add tracing keys to ~/.deepagents/.env to see agent operations, tool calls, and decisions in LangSmith:
~/.deepagents/.env
LANGSMITH_TRACING=true
LANGSMITH_API_KEY=lsv2_...
LANGSMITH_PROJECT=optional-project-name  # Specify a project name or default to "deepagents-cli"

​
Providers

The CLI is intentionally lightweight, shipping with OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini support out of the box. Each additional model provider is a separate dependency, so you only pull in what you need. 
# Add extra providers to an existing install
uv tool install deepagents-cli --with langchain-xai
To use a specific provider, pass --model at launch or switch mid-session with /model. 
deepagents --model anthropic:claude-opus-4-5
For the full list of supported providers, see Model providers.

​
Interactive mode

Type naturally as you would in a chat interface. The agent will use its built-in tools, skills, and memory to help you with tasks.
Use these commands within the CLI session:
  • /model - Switch models or open the interactive model selector. See Switch models for details
  • /remember [context] - Review conversation and update memory and skills. Optionally pass additional context
  • /skill:<name> [args] - Directly invoke a skill by name. The skill’s SKILL.md instructions are injected into the prompt along with any arguments you provide
  • /skill-creator [args] - Guide for creating effective agent skills
  • /offload (alias /compact) - Free up context window space by offloading messages to storage with a summary placeholder. The agent can retrieve the full history from the offloaded file if needed
  • /tokens - Display current context window token usage breakdown
  • /clear - Clear conversation history and start a new thread
  • /threads - Browse and resume previous conversation threads
  • /mcp - Show active MCP servers and tools
  • /reload - Re-read .env files, refresh configuration, and re-discover skills without restarting. Conversation state is preserved. See DEEPAGENTS_CLI_ prefix for override behavior
  • /theme - Open the interactive theme selector to switch color themes. Built-in themes are available plus any user-defined themes
  • /update - Check for and install CLI updates inline. Detects your install method (uv, Homebrew, pip) and runs the appropriate upgrade command
  • /auto-update - Toggle automatic updates on or off
  • /trace - Open the current thread in LangSmith (requires LANGSMITH_API_KEY)
  • /editor - Open the current prompt in your external editor ($VISUAL / $EDITOR). See External editor
  • /changelog - Open the CLI changelog in your browser
  • /docs - Open the documentation in your browser
  • /feedback - Open the GitHub issues page to file a bug report or feature request
  • /version - Show installed deepagents-cli and SDK versions
  • /help - Show help and available commands
  • /quit - Exit the CLI
Type ! to enter shell mode, then type your command.

​
Non-interactive mode and piping

Use -n to run a single task without launching the interactive UI: 
deepagents -n "Write a Python script that prints hello world"
You can also pipe input via stdin. When input is piped, the CLI automatically runs non-interactively: 
echo "Explain this code" | deepagents
cat error.log | deepagents -n "What's causing this error?"
git diff | deepagents -n "Review these changes"
git diff | deepagents --skill code-review -n 'summarize changes'
When you combine piped input with -n or -m, the piped content appears first, followed by the text you pass to the flag.
The maximum piped input size is 10 MiB.
Shell execution is disabled by default in non-interactive mode. Use -S/--shell-allow-list to enable specific commands (e.g., -S "pytest,git,make"), recommended for safe defaults, or all to permit any command.
Use -q for clean output suitable for piping into other commands, and --no-stream to buffer the full response (instead of streaming) before writing to stdout:
deepagents -n "Generate a .gitignore for Python" -q > .gitignore
deepagents -n "List dependencies" -q --no-stream | sort
In non-interactive mode, the agent is instructed to make reasonable assumptions and proceed autonomously rather than ask clarifying questions. It also favors non-interactive command variants (e.g., npm init -y, apt-get install -y).
# Allow specific commands (validated against the list)
deepagents -n "Run the tests and fix failures" -S "pytest,git,make"

# Use the curated safe-command list
deepagents -n "Build the project" -S recommended

# Allow any shell command
deepagents -n "Fix the build" -S all
Use with caution.-S all or --shell-allow-list all lets the agent execute arbitrary shell commands with no human confirmation.

​
Switch models

You can switch models during a session without restarting the CLI using the /model command, or at launch with the --model flag: 
> /model anthropic:claude-opus-4-5
> /model openai:gpt-4o

deepagents --model openai:gpt-4o
Run /model to open an interactive model selector that displays available models grouped by provider. For full details on switching models, setting a default, and adding custom model providers, see Model providers.
The selector shows a detail footer for the highlighted model with context window size, input modalities (text, image, audio, PDF, video), and capabilities (reasoning, tool calling, structured output). Values overridden by --profile-override or config.toml are marked with a yellow * prefix.
Pass extra model constructor parameters when switching mid-session using --model-params:
> /model --model-params '{"temperature": 0.7}' anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-5
> /model --model-params '{"temperature": 0.7}'  # opens selector, applies params to chosen model
These are session-only overrides and take the highest priority, overriding values from config file params. --model-params cannot be combined with --default.

​
Configuration

The CLI stores all configuration under ~/.deepagents/. Within that directory, each agent gets its own subdirectory (default: agent):
PathPurpose
~/.deepagents/config.tomlModel defaults, provider settings, constructor params, profile overrides, themes, update settings, MCP trust store
~/.deepagents/.envGlobal API keys and secrets. See configuration
~/.deepagents/hooks.jsonLifecycle event hooks (session start/end, task complete, etc.)
~/.deepagents/<agent_name>/Per-agent memory, skills, and conversation threads
.deepagents/ (project root)Project-specific memory and skills, loaded when running inside a git repo
# List all configured agents
deepagents agents list
For the full reference — including config.toml schema, provider parameters, profile overrides, and hook configuration — see Configuration.

​
Memory

There are two primary ways to customize any agent:
  • Memory: AGENTS.md files and auto-saved memories that persist across sessions. Use memory for general coding style, preferences, and learned conventions.
  • Skills: Global and project-specific context, conventions, guidelines, or instructions. Use skills for context that is only required when performing specific tasks.
Use /remember to explicitly prompt the agent to update its memory and skills from the current conversation.

​
Automatic memory

As you use the agent, it automatically stores information in ~/.deepagents/<agent_name>/memories/ as markdown files using a memory-first protocol:
  1. Research: Searches memory for relevant context before starting tasks
  2. Response: Checks memory when uncertain during execution
  3. Learning: Automatically saves new information for future sessions
The agent organizes its memories by topic with descriptive filenames: 
~/.deepagents/backend-dev/memories/
├── api-conventions.md
├── database-schema.md
└── deployment-process.md
When you teach the agent conventions: 
deepagents --agent backend-dev
> Our API uses snake_case and includes created_at/updated_at timestamps
It remembers for future sessions: 
> Create a /users endpoint
# Applies conventions without prompting

​
AGENTS.md files

AGENTS.md files provide persistent context that is always loaded at session start:
  • Global: ~/.deepagents/<agent_name>/AGENTS.md — loaded every session.
  • Project: .deepagents/AGENTS.md in any git project root — loaded when the CLI is run from within that project.
Both files are appended to the system prompt at startup.
The agent may also read its memory files when answering project-specific questions or when you reference past work or patterns.The agent will update AGENTS.md as you provide information on how it should behave, feedback on its work, or instructions to remember something. It will also update its memory if it identifies patterns or preferences from your interactions.To add more structured project knowledge in additional memory files, add them in .deepagents/ and reference them in the AGENTS.md file. You must reference additional files in the AGENTS.md file for the agent to be aware of them. The additional files will not be read on startup but the agent can reference and update them when needed.
Global AGENTS.md (~/.deepagents/agent/AGENTS.md)
  • Your personality, style, and universal coding preferences
  • General tone and communication style
  • Universal coding preferences (formatting, type hints, etc.)
  • Tool usage patterns that apply everywhere
  • Workflows and methodologies that don’t change per-project
Project AGENTS.md (.deepagents/AGENTS.md in project root)
  • Project-specific context and conventions
  • Project architecture and design patterns
  • Coding conventions specific to this codebase
  • Testing strategies and deployment processes
  • Team guidelines and project structure

​
Use skills

Skills are reusable agent capabilities that provide specialized workflows and domain knowledge. You can use skills to provide your deep agent with new capabilities and expertise. Deep agent skills follow the Agent Skills standard. Once you have added skills your deep agent will automatically make use of them and update them as you use the agent and provide it with additional information. Use /remember to explicitly prompt the agent to update skills and memory from the current conversation.
  1. Create a skill: 
    # User skill (stored in ~/.deepagents/<agent_name>/skills/)
deepagents skills create test-skill

# Project skill (stored in .deepagents/skills/)
deepagents skills create test-skill --project
    This generates: 
    skills/
└── test-skill
    └── SKILL.md
  2. Open the generated SKILL.md and edit the file to include your instructions.
  3. Optionally add additional scripts or other resources to the test-skill folder. For more information, see Examples.
You can also copy existing skills directly to the agent’s folder:
mkdir -p ~/.deepagents/<agent_name>/skills
cp -r examples/skills/web-research ~/.deepagents/<agent_name>/skills/
You can use tools like Vercel’s Skills CLI to install community Agent Skills in your environment and make them available to your deep agents:
# Install a skill globally
npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill web-design-guidelines -a deepagents -g -y

# List installed skills
npx skills ls -a deepagents -g
Global installs (-g) symlink skills into ~/.deepagents/agent/skills/ — the default agent’s user-level skills directory. Project-level installs (omit -g) place skills in .deepagents/skills/ relative to the current directory, making them available to any agent running in that project regardless of agent name.
Global installs target the default agent directory only. If you use a custom-named agent, either use project-level installs or manually symlink the skill into ~/.deepagents/{your-agent}/skills/.
At startup, the CLI discovers skills from both Deep Agents and shared alias directories:
~/.deepagents/<agent_name>/skills/
~/.agents/skills/
.deepagents/skills/
.agents/skills/
~/.claude/skills/          (experimental)
.claude/skills/            (experimental)
When duplicate skill names exist, later-precedence directories override earlier ones (see App data).For project-specific skills, the project’s root folder must have a .git folder. When you start the CLI from anywhere within the project’s folder, the CLI will find the project’s root folder by checking for a containing .git folder.For each skill, the CLI reads the name and the description from the SKILL.md file’s frontmatter. As you use the CLI, if a task matches the skill’s description, the agent will read the skill file and follow its instructions.You can also invoke a skill directly with /skill:<name> [args]. Skill discovery runs at startup and again on /reload.
Use --skill to invoke a skill at launch without typing a slash command interactively:
# Open the TUI and immediately run a skill
deepagents --skill code-review

# Pass a request to the skill with -m
deepagents --skill code-review -m 'review the auth module'

# Pipe content into a skill
cat diff.txt | deepagents --skill code-review

# Pipe content and add a request
cat diff.txt | deepagents --skill code-review -m 'focus on security'
--skill also works in non-interactive mode:
# Run a skill headlessly
deepagents --skill code-review -n 'review this patch'

# Quiet mode (only agent output on stdout)
deepagents --skill code-review -n 'review this patch' -q
--skill with --quiet or --no-stream requires -n (non-interactive mode).
# List all user skills
deepagents skills list

# List project skills
deepagents skills list --project

# Get detailed info about a specific skill
deepagents skills info test-skill
deepagents skills info test-skill --project

​
Subagents

Define custom subagents as markdown files so the CLI agent can delegate specialized tasks to them. Each subagent lives in its own folder with an AGENTS.md file: 
.deepagents/agents/{subagent-name}/AGENTS.md   # Project-level
~/.deepagents/{agent}/agents/{subagent-name}/AGENTS.md  # User-level
Project subagents override user subagents with the same name (see precedence rules). The frontmatter requires name and description (same as the SubAgent dictionary spec). The markdown body becomes the subagent’s system_prompt. In addition to the base spec, AGENTS.md files support an optional model frontmatter field that overrides the main agent’s model for this subagent. Uses the provider:model-name format (e.g., anthropic:claude-opus-4-6, openai:gpt-5.4). Omit to inherit the main agent’s model.
Other SubAgent fields (tools, middleware, interrupt_on, skills) are currently not configurable via AGENTS.md frontmatter — custom subagents defined this way inherit the main agent’s tools. Use the SDK directly for full control.
Subagent AGENTS.md files use YAML frontmatter followed by a markdown body:
---
name: researcher
description: Research topics on the web before writing content
model: anthropic:claude-haiku-4-5-20251001
---

You are a research assistant with access to web search.

## Your Process
1. Search for relevant information
2. Summarize findings clearly
Use a cheaper, faster model for simple delegation tasks while keeping the main agent on a more capable model:
---
name: general-purpose
description: General-purpose agent for research and multi-step tasks
model: anthropic:claude-haiku-4-5-20251001
---

You are a general-purpose assistant. Complete the task efficiently and return a concise summary.
This overrides the built-in general-purpose subagent, routing all delegated tasks to a cheaper model. See Override the general-purpose subagent for more.

​
Use MCP tools

Extend the CLI with tools from external MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. Place a .mcp.json at your project root and the CLI discovers it automatically. See the MCP tools guide for configuration format, auto-discovery, and troubleshooting.

​
Use remote sandboxes

The CLI uses the sandbox as tool pattern: the CLI process (LLM loop, memory, tool dispatch) runs on your machine, but agent tool calls (read_file, write_file, execute, etc.) target the remote sandbox, not your local filesystem. To get files into the sandbox, use a setup script or the provider’s file transfer APIs (see Working with files). For a deeper look at sandbox architecture, integration patterns, and security best practices, see Sandboxes.
LangSmith sandbox support is included with the CLI by default. AgentCore, Modal, Daytona, and Runloop require installing extras.

Install provider dependency

Included by default when installing deepagents-cli. No extra installation needed.

Set provider credentials

export LANGSMITH_API_KEY="your-key"

Run the CLI with a sandbox

deepagents --sandbox langsmith
FlagDescription
--sandbox TYPESandbox provider to use: langsmith, agentcore, modal, daytona, or runloop (default: none)
--sandbox-id IDReuse an existing sandbox by ID instead of creating a new one. Skips creation and cleanup. Refer to your sandbox documentation for more
--sandbox-setup PATHPath to a setup script to run inside the sandbox upon creation
Examples:
# Create a new Daytona sandbox
deepagents --sandbox daytona

# Reuse an existing sandbox (skips creation and cleanup)
deepagents --sandbox runloop --sandbox-id dbx_abc123

# Run a setup script after sandbox creation
deepagents --sandbox modal --sandbox-setup ./setup.sh
Use --sandbox-setup to run a shell script inside the sandbox after creation. This is useful for cloning repos, installing dependencies, and configuring environment variables.
setup.sh
#!/bin/bash
set -e

# Clone repository using GitHub token
git clone https://x-access-token:${GITHUB_TOKEN}@github.com/username/repo.git $HOME/workspace
cd $HOME/workspace

# Make environment variables persistent
cat >> ~/.bashrc <<'EOF'
export GITHUB_TOKEN="${GITHUB_TOKEN}"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="${OPENAI_API_KEY}"
cd $HOME/workspace
EOF
source ~/.bashrc
The CLI expands ${VAR} references in setup scripts using your local environment variables. Store secrets in a local .env file for the setup script to access.
Sandboxes isolate code execution, but agents remain vulnerable to prompt injection with untrusted inputs. Use human-in-the-loop approval, short-lived secrets, and trusted setup scripts only. See Security considerations for details.

​
Tracing with LangSmith

Enable LangSmith tracing to see agent operations, tool calls, and decisions in a LangSmith project. Add your tracing keys to ~/.deepagents/.env so tracing is enabled in every session without per-shell exports:
~/.deepagents/.env
LANGSMITH_TRACING=true
LANGSMITH_API_KEY=lsv2_...
LANGSMITH_PROJECT=optional-project-name  # Specify a project name or default to "deepagents-cli"
To override for a specific project, add the same keys to a .env in the project directory. See environment variables for the full loading order. You can also set these as shell environment variables if you prefer. Shell exports always take precedence over .env values, so this is a good option for temporary overrides or testing: 
export LANGSMITH_TRACING=false
When invoking the CLI programmatically from a LangChain application (e.g., as a subprocess in non-interactive mode), both your app and the CLI produce LangSmith traces. By default, these all land in the same project.To send CLI traces to a dedicated project, set DEEPAGENTS_CLI_LANGSMITH_PROJECT:
~/.deepagents/.env
DEEPAGENTS_CLI_LANGSMITH_PROJECT=my-deep-agent-execution
Then configure LANGSMITH_PROJECT for your parent application’s traces:
~/.deepagents/.env
LANGSMITH_PROJECT=my-app-traces
This keeps your app-level observability clean while still capturing the agent’s internal execution in a separate project.You can also scope LangSmith credentials to the CLI using the DEEPAGENTS_CLI_ prefix (e.g., DEEPAGENTS_CLI_LANGSMITH_API_KEY).
When configured, the CLI displays a status line with a link to the LangSmith project. In supported terminals, click the link to open it directly. You can also use /trace to print the URL and open it in your browser. 
✓ LangSmith tracing: 'my-project'
