Quickstart

Run a one-shot task:

faraday "Summarize structure–activity relationships across KRAS inhibitors, focusing on motifs that improve binding affinity and selectivity"

Interactive mode:

faraday

With a config file:

faraday --config faraday.example.yaml "Your task here"

Results are written to ./run_outputs/ by default:

run_outputs/
  run_{timestamp}_{chat_id}_{query_id}/
    agent_outputs/       # files, plots, and generated artifacts
    run_artifacts/
      events.jsonl       # timestamped stream of every agent event
      metadata.json      # run parameters (model, steps, config)
      result.json        # final answer and run summary
      trajectory.json    # full trajectory for replay

Useful flags: --model, --max-steps, --debug, --check-tools, --app-mode, --sandbox-backend, --batch-file, --use-docker. See faraday --help for the full list.
