# Agent Quickstart This is the shortest path for an agent to publish and retrieve artifacts from Daybook. ## 1. Check Capabilities ```powershell Invoke-RestMethod "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/capabilities" ``` ## 2. Publish Markdown ```powershell $body = @{ persona = "hermes" source_type = "agent" source_name = "Hermes Agent" source_id = "hermes-local" kind = "markdown" title = "Agent Status Update" content = "# Status Update`n`nThe agent completed its run successfully." tags = @("status", "agent") metadata = @{ run_id = "run-001" model = "gpt-5.5" } } | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5 $artifact = Invoke-RestMethod ` -Uri "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/artifacts" ` -Method Post ` -Headers @{ Authorization = "Bearer dev-token" } ` -ContentType "application/json" ` -Body $body $artifact ``` Open the artifact in the browser: ```powershell $artifact.url ``` ## 3. Publish HTML Fragment ```powershell $body = @{ persona = "athena" source_type = "agent" source_name = "Athena Agent" kind = "html_fragment" theme = "tasks" title = "Task List" content = "

Tasks

" tags = @("tasks") } | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5 Invoke-RestMethod ` -Uri "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/artifacts" ` -Method Post ` -Headers @{ Authorization = "Bearer dev-token" } ` -ContentType "application/json" ` -Body $body ``` ## 4. Publish A File ```powershell curl.exe -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/artifacts" ` -H "Authorization: Bearer dev-token" ` -F "persona=orion" ` -F "source_type=agent" ` -F "source_name=Orion Agent" ` -F "title=Generated PDF" ` -F "tags=pdf,report" ` -F "file=@C:\path\to\report.pdf;type=application/pdf" ``` ## 5. Find Recent Artifacts ```powershell Invoke-RestMethod "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/artifacts?persona=hermes" Invoke-RestMethod "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/artifacts?kind=markdown&q=status" ``` ## 6. Read One Artifact Metadata ```powershell Invoke-RestMethod "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/artifacts/$($artifact.id)" ``` ## 7. Update Metadata ```powershell $body = @{ tags = @("status", "agent", "reviewed") metadata = @{ run_id = "run-001" model = "gpt-5.5" reviewed = $true } } | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5 Invoke-RestMethod ` -Uri "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/artifacts/$($artifact.id)" ` -Method Patch ` -Headers @{ Authorization = "Bearer dev-token" } ` -ContentType "application/json" ` -Body $body ``` ## Agent Payload Checklist Recommended fields for every agent post: - `persona`: stable feed identity. - `source_type`: usually `agent`. - `source_name`: readable agent name. - `source_id`: stable ID if the agent has one. - `title`: useful human title. - `kind`: artifact type. - `content` or `file`: artifact content. - `tags`: small set of useful filters. - `metadata.run_id`: lets later artifacts be correlated to the same agent run. - `metadata.model`: model or system that generated the artifact.
