Scripts

@agent-native/core provides a script dispatcher and utilities for building agent-callable scripts.

Script Dispatcher

The script system lets you create scripts that agents can invoke via pnpm script <name>. Each script is a TypeScript file that exports a default async function.

// scripts/run.ts — dispatcher (one-time setup)
import { runScript } from "@agent-native/core";
runScript();

// scripts/hello.ts — example script
import { parseArgs } from "@agent-native/core";

export default async function hello(args: string[]) {
  const { name } = parseArgs(args);
  console.log(`Hello, ${name ?? "world"}!`);
}

# Run it
pnpm script hello --name Steve

parseArgs(args)

Parse CLI arguments in --key value or --key=value format:

import { parseArgs } from "@agent-native/core";

const args = parseArgs(["--name", "Steve", "--verbose", "--count=3"]);
// { name: "Steve", verbose: "true", count: "3" }

Shared Agent Chat

@agent-native/core provides an isomorphic chat bridge that works in both browser and Node.js:

import { agentChat } from "@agent-native/core";

// Auto-submit a message
agentChat.submit("Generate a report for Q4");

// Prefill without submitting
agentChat.prefill("Draft an email to...", contextData);

// Full control
agentChat.send({
  message: "Process this data",
  context: JSON.stringify(data),
  submit: true,
});

In the browser, messages are sent via window.postMessage(). In Node.js (scripts), they use the BUILDER_PARENT_MESSAGE: stdout format that the Electron host translates to postMessage.
