connectonion-studio 0.1.3

ConnectOnion Studio — local test cockpit for ConnectOnion agents: create, run, QR, live logs, Copy-for-Claude diagnostics.

A local test cockpit for ConnectOnion agents.

Click toolkits to build an agent · scan its QR from the iOS app · watch live logs

---

Install

pipx install connectonion-studio      # or: pip install connectonion-studio
co-studio                             # opens http://127.0.0.1:9900

That's it. The first launch auto-creates your identity and activates your managed model key (needs internet — it's your own key, one per user). Offline on first run? Just run co auth once you're back online.

Desktop app (macOS)

A native macOS app (SwiftUI + WKWebView) lives in macos/ — the same cockpit in a real window with the traffic-light chrome and app icon. Build and run it from Xcode (macos/ConnectOnionStudio/); a signed .dmg for one-click install is on the way.

What it does

🧩 Create	Form: name · model · toolkit checkboxes → identity + QR ready instantly
▶️ Run	One process per agent, health-polled every 5 s, live state over WebSocket
📱 QR	Encodes connectonion://add?address&name&endpoint — one scan fills all three iOS "Add agent" fields (direct LAN endpoint, bypasses the relay)
📜 Logs	Master–detail cockpit: per-agent live console (this run only), stat tiles, follow / errors-only, reveal-in-Finder
🩺 Copy for Claude	Paste-ready markdown diagnostics bundle, one click
🗑️ Delete	Two-step confirm, then a permanent delete — identity, keys, and logs are removed for good

Toolkits: utility · web · files · shell (approval-gated) · image

Requirements

Python 3.11+ · macOS, Linux, or Windows (WSL recommended)

Storage & internals

~/.co-studio/agents/<slug>/   meta.json · agent.py · .env · .co/ · runs/<timestamp>.log

• One stdout log per run under runs/; the live console (and diagnostics) read only the current run.
• Agent ports 8000–8099, allocated by socket probe (busy ports skipped, re-probed at start).
• agent.py is standalone — eject it anywhere and python agent.py still works (the announce IP-trim patch is inlined).

Development (from source)

git clone https://github.com/EvanYifanYang/connectonion-studio && cd connectonion-studio
./install.sh
.venv/bin/co-studio

Env	Effect
CONNECTONION_PATH=~/repo/connectonion ./install.sh	Install the framework from a local checkout instead of PyPI
PYTHON=python3.12 ./install.sh	Pick the interpreter

Security

• The manager binds 127.0.0.1:9900 only.
• Agent ports are unauthenticated and exposed on your LAN by host() — that is how the phone connects. Don't run on hostile networks.
