| description | Interact with OmniHarness AI agent platform via its HTTP API. Use this skill when the user wants to send messages or questions to OmniHarness for research/analysis, start a OmniHarness conversation thread, check OmniHarness status or health, list available models/skills/agents in OmniHarness, manage OmniHarness memory, upload files to OmniHarness threads, or delegate complex research tasks to OmniHarness. Also use when the user mentions omniharness, deer flow, or wants to run a deep research task that OmniHarness can handle. |
OmniHarness Skill
Communicate with a running OmniHarness instance via its HTTP API. OmniHarness is an AI agent platform
built on LangGraph that orchestrates sub-agents for research, code execution, web browsing, and more.
Architecture
OmniHarness exposes two API surfaces behind an Nginx reverse proxy:
| Service | Direct Port | Via Proxy | Purpose |
|---|
| Gateway API | 8001 | $DEERFLOW_GATEWAY_URL | REST endpoints (models, skills, memory, uploads) |
| LangGraph API | 2024 | $DEERFLOW_LANGGRAPH_URL | Agent threads, runs, streaming |
Environment Variables
All URLs are configurable via environment variables. Read these env vars before making any request.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|
DEERFLOW_URL | http://localhost:2026 | Unified proxy base URL |
DEERFLOW_GATEWAY_URL | ${DEERFLOW_URL} | Gateway API base (models, skills, memory, uploads) |
DEERFLOW_LANGGRAPH_URL | ${DEERFLOW_URL}/api/langgraph | LangGraph API base (threads, runs) |
When making curl calls, always resolve the URL like this:
DEERFLOW_URL="${DEERFLOW_URL:-http://localhost:2026}"
DEERFLOW_GATEWAY_URL="${DEERFLOW_GATEWAY_URL:-$DEERFLOW_URL}"
DEERFLOW_LANGGRAPH_URL="${DEERFLOW_LANGGRAPH_URL:-$DEERFLOW_URL/api/langgraph}"
Available Operations
1. Health Check
Verify OmniHarness is running:
curl -s "$DEERFLOW_GATEWAY_URL/health"
2. Send a Message (Streaming)
This is the primary operation. It creates a thread and streams the agent's response.
Step 1: Create a thread
curl -s -X POST "$DEERFLOW_LANGGRAPH_URL/threads" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{}'
Response: {"thread_id": "<uuid>", ...}
Step 2: Stream a run
curl -s -N -X POST "$DEERFLOW_LANGGRAPH_URL/threads/<thread_id>/runs/stream" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"assistant_id": "lead_agent",
"input": {
"messages": [
{
"type": "human",
"content": [{"type": "text", "text": "YOUR MESSAGE HERE"}]
}
]
},
"stream_mode": ["values", "messages-tuple"],
"stream_subgraphs": true,
"config": {
"recursion_limit": 1000
},
"context": {
"thinking_enabled": true,
"is_plan_mode": true,
"subagent_enabled": true,
"thread_id": "<thread_id>"
}
}'
The response is an SSE stream. Each event has the format:
event: <event_type>
data: <json_data>
Key event types:
metadata — run metadata including run_id
values — full state snapshot with messages array
messages-tuple — incremental message updates (AI text chunks, tool calls, tool results)
end — stream is complete
Context modes (set via context):
- Flash mode:
thinking_enabled: false, is_plan_mode: false, subagent_enabled: false
- Standard mode:
thinking_enabled: true, is_plan_mode: false, subagent_enabled: false
- Pro mode:
thinking_enabled: true, is_plan_mode: true, subagent_enabled: false
- Ultra mode:
thinking_enabled: true, is_plan_mode: true, subagent_enabled: true
3. Continue a Conversation
To send follow-up messages, reuse the same thread_id from step 2 and POST another run
with the new message.
4. List Models
curl -s "$DEERFLOW_GATEWAY_URL/api/models"
Returns: {"models": [{"name": "...", "provider": "...", ...}, ...]}
5. List Skills
curl -s "$DEERFLOW_GATEWAY_URL/api/skills"
Returns: {"skills": [{"name": "...", "enabled": true, ...}, ...]}
6. Enable/Disable a Skill
curl -s -X PUT "$DEERFLOW_GATEWAY_URL/api/skills/<skill_name>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"enabled": true}'
7. List Agents
curl -s "$DEERFLOW_GATEWAY_URL/api/agents"
Returns: {"agents": [{"name": "...", ...}, ...]}
8. Get Memory
curl -s "$DEERFLOW_GATEWAY_URL/api/memory"
Returns user context, facts, and conversation history summaries.
9. Upload Files to a Thread
curl -s -X POST "$DEERFLOW_GATEWAY_URL/api/threads/<thread_id>/uploads" \
-F "files=@/path/to/file.pdf"
Supports PDF, PPTX, XLSX, DOCX — automatically converts to Markdown.
10. List Uploaded Files
curl -s "$DEERFLOW_GATEWAY_URL/api/threads/<thread_id>/uploads/list"
11. Get Thread History
curl -s "$DEERFLOW_LANGGRAPH_URL/threads/<thread_id>/history"
12. List Threads
curl -s -X POST "$DEERFLOW_LANGGRAPH_URL/threads/search" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"limit": 20, "sort_by": "updated_at", "sort_order": "desc"}'
Usage Script
For sending messages and collecting the full response, use the helper script:
bash /path/to/skills/claude-to-omniharness/scripts/chat.sh "Your question here"
See scripts/chat.sh for the implementation. The script:
- Checks health
- Creates a thread
- Streams the run and collects the final AI response
- Prints the result
Parsing SSE Output
The stream returns SSE events. To extract the final AI response from a values event:
- Look for the last
event: values block
- Parse its
data JSON
- The
messages array contains all messages; the last one with type: "ai" is the response
- The
content field of that message is the AI's text reply
Error Handling
- If health check fails, OmniHarness is not running. Inform the user they need to start it.
- If the stream returns an error event, extract and display the error message.
- Common issues: port not open, services still starting up, config errors.
Tips
- For quick questions, use flash mode (fastest, no planning).
- For research tasks, use pro or ultra mode (enables planning and sub-agents).
- You can upload files first, then reference them in your message.
- Thread IDs persist — you can return to a conversation later.
