Run Agents

When to Use

When a user wants to run an agent locally, from a git repo, or with a specific adapter/framework.

Troubleshooting

If you see authentication errors:

• Claude: Ensure Claude Code is authenticated (claude auth status)
• OpenAI: Verify OPENAI_API_KEY is set and valid
• GitHub: Check GITHUB_TOKEN has correct permissions
• Lyzr: Confirm LYZR_API_KEY is active

Basic Usage

# Run local agent with Claude (default)
opengap run -d ./my-agent

# Run from git repo
opengap run -r https://github.com/user/agent

# Run with a prompt (one-shot mode)
opengap run -d ./my-agent -p "Review my code"

Adapters

Adapter	Flag	Env Var Required	Interactive
Claude	-a claude	(uses Claude Code auth)	Yes
OpenAI	-a openai	OPENAI_API_KEY	No
CrewAI	-a crewai	—	No
OpenClaw	-a openclaw	ANTHROPIC_API_KEY	No (-p required)
Nanobot	-a nanobot	ANTHROPIC_API_KEY	Yes
Lyzr	-a lyzr	LYZR_API_KEY	No (-p required)
GitHub	-a github	GITHUB_TOKEN	No (-p required)
Git	-a git	(auto-detects)	Depends
Prompt	-a prompt	—	Print only

Examples

# Claude (interactive)
opengap run -d ./my-agent

# GitHub Models (one-shot, streaming)
export GITHUB_TOKEN="ghp_..."
opengap run -d ./my-agent -a github -p "Explain this codebase"

# Lyzr (creates agent on Lyzr Studio + chats)
export LYZR_API_KEY="..."
opengap run -r https://github.com/user/agent -a lyzr -p "Hello"

# Lyzr one-liner (clone + create + chat)
opengap lyzr run -r https://github.com/user/agent -p "Hello"

# Auto-detect adapter from repo
opengap run -r https://github.com/user/agent -a git -p "Hello"

# Just print the system prompt
opengap run -d ./my-agent -a prompt

Git Caching

Repos cloned via -r are cached at ~/.gitagent/cache/:

# Use cache (default)
opengap run -r https://github.com/user/agent

# Force refresh
opengap run -r https://github.com/user/agent --refresh

# No cache (temp dir, deleted after)
opengap run -r https://github.com/user/agent --no-cache

Auto-Detection (-a git)

The git adapter detects the best runner from the repo:

1. .gitagent_adapter file (explicit hint)
2. Model name (claude-* → claude, gpt-* → openai)
3. Framework files (CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, crew.yaml, .lyzr_agent_id, .github_models)
4. Default: claude
