  • You (a Claude Code / Codex session

  • Calls ssh and pip
  • Any terminal agent) need to control a running Personal Jarvis instance — switch the brain provider

What it does

Drive Jarvis CLI is an agent skill from PersonalJarvis/PersonalJarvis. Use when you (a Claude Code / Codex session, or any terminal agent) need to control a running Personal Jarvis instance — switch the brain provider, dispatch or inspect missions, read/write config, search the wiki, manage skills, browse outputs, etc. Teaches the jarvis CLI: zero-config local auth, machine-readable output, and the safety flags. Trigger phrases: "control Jarvis", "drive Jarvis from the CLI", "switch Jarvis's brain provider", "dispatch a Jarvis mission".

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill management. The repository describes itself as: Your AI assistant, built for the agentic era. Open source and local: talk to it, and it runs your agents, your coding CLIs, your browser and your apps. Windows, macOS, Linux. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • You (a Claude Code / Codex session
  • Any terminal agent) need to control a running Personal Jarvis instance — switch the brain provider
  • Inspect missions
  • Read/write config

Example prompts

  • “control Jarvis”
  • “drive Jarvis from the CLI”
  • “switch Jarvis”
  • “/drive-jarvis-cli”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 46acfbd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • ssh
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use ssh and pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Drive Jarvis CLI loads about 945 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 123 tokens; SKILL.md has 300 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~123
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~945

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when you (a Claude Code / Codex session, or any terminal agent) need to control a running Personal Jarvis instance — switch the brain provider, dispatch or inspect missions, read/write config, search the wiki, manage skills, browse outputs, etc. Teaches the `jarvis` CLI: zero-config local auth, machine-readable output, and the safety flags. Trigger phrases: "control Jarvis", "drive Jarvis from the CLI", "switch Jarvis's brain provider", "dispatch a Jarvis mission".

Drive Jarvis from the CLI

Jarvis exposes its entire WebUI action surface as a command-line tool, the same way gcloud / aws exposes a cloud platform. You drive a running Jarvis over HTTP — no need to be inside the app.

Setup (one time)

The CLI ships with the package, so after pip install -e . the jarvis binary is on PATH (aliases: jarvisctl, jctl). Check it:

bash
jarvis version

Auth is zero-config on the same machine as a running Jarvis. The desktop app writes its live port + control token to a single-instance session file; the CLI discovers it automatically, and falls back to the machine's control key. You do not need to log in. Confirm reachability:

bash
jarvis system status        # {"reachable": true} when Jarvis is running

For a remote Jarvis (e.g. a VPS), tunnel it to loopback and point the CLI at it:

bash
ssh -L 47821:127.0.0.1:47821 <host>          # then it behaves like local
# or, explicitly, per call:
jarvis --url http://127.0.0.1:47821 --key "$JCTL" missions list

How to use it (agent ergonomics)

  • Discover commands: jarvis --help, jarvis <group> --help. Every mounted REST endpoint is also reachable generically via jarvis api <tag> <op> --help.
  • Machine-readable output: put --json before the group, e.g. jarvis --json missions list. Parse that, not the human table.
  • Preview before acting: --dry-run on any command prints the exact request (method, path, body, whether auth is attached) and sends nothing.
  • Authorize destructive actions: reversible actions (switch provider, set language, enable a skill) just run. Destructive ones (any DELETE, config set, missions dispatch, telephony outbound) refuse unless you pass --yes (or set JARVIS_CLI_ASSUME_YES=1). This is deliberate — only add --yes when you mean it.
  • Never pass a secret as an inline argument; auth login and PAT connects read it from a hidden prompt or stdin (--key -).

Common tasks

bash
# Switch the active brain provider (the flagship; reversible)
jarvis brain switch openai
jarvis brain subagent-switch openai          # switch the worker/sub-agent provider
jarvis --json brain status                   # which provider is active

# Config (atomic write pipeline; `set` is destructive)
jarvis --json config get brain.primary
jarvis config set ui.theme dark --yes
jarvis config language set en

# Missions (dispatch is destructive — spawns a worker)
jarvis --json missions list --state RUNNING
jarvis missions dispatch "summarize today's PRs" --yes
jarvis --json missions show <id>

# Knowledge + history + outputs
jarvis --json wiki recall "insurance policy"
jarvis --json sessions list
jarvis --json outputs list

# Skills, board, workflows, mcps, docs, … (every domain has a group)
jarvis --json skills list
jarvis --json board summary
jarvis api --help                            # the full auto-generated surface

Rules

  • Read with --json and parse; act with explicit intent.
  • --dry-run first when unsure what a destructive command will send.
  • If jarvis system status reports unreachable, Jarvis is not running — start it (jarvis serve for headless) rather than retrying blindly.
