henosis-cli 0.6.56

The Henosis CLI: a multi-provider coding agent for your terminal, connected to Henosis Chat and Remote Control.

Henosis CLI

Henosis CLI is a multi-provider coding agent for your terminal.

Use frontier models from every major provider in one workflow, point them at your codebase, and keep work connected across the CLI, Henosis Chat, and Remote Control. Bring your own API keys, use your Codex subscription where supported, or run on Henosis credits.

Why Henosis CLI

• Work across providers without vendor lock-in
• Let agents read files, apply patches, and run commands with configurable controls
• Continue the same threads between browser, terminal, and remote sessions
• Monitor and steer active sessions from the web with Remote Control

What it does

Henosis CLI gives you a connected coding workflow across terminal and web.

With Henosis CLI, you can:

• chat with leading models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, Moonshot, and more
• switch models as a task evolves instead of committing to a single provider
• run long-lived coding sessions against your repository
• review and approve sensitive actions before they execute
• keep threads, context, and billing connected with the Henosis web app
• monitor active CLI sessions remotely with --agent-mode

Core capabilities

• Interactive chat over SSE with usage and cost summaries
• Model picker and per-turn controls
• Local tool execution with configurable approval levels
• Workspace and host-scope filesystem controls
• Optional web search controls for supported OpenAI models
• Thread persistence and usage tracking through the Henosis backend
• Remote Control support for monitoring and steering active terminal sessions

Install

• pip:
  • pip install henosis-cli
• pipx:
  • pipx install henosis-cli

Quick start

• Run the CLI:
  • henosis-cli
• Default server:
  • https://henosis.us/api_v2
• Override server:
  • henosis-cli --server https://your-server
• Dev server:
  • henosis-cli --dev

When prompted, sign in and choose a model. Tools are enabled by default.

Common commands

• /menu or /settings — open settings
• /model — open the model picker
• /model <name> — set a model directly
• /tools on|off|default — toggle tool availability
• /fs workspace|host|default — choose filesystem scope
• /hostbase <abs path> — set the host scope root
• /level 1|2|3 — choose approval level
• /map on|off — inject CODEBASE_MAP.md into the first message
• /websearch on|off|domains|sources|location — configure web search options
• /title <name> — rename the current thread
• /clear — clear chat history
• /login, /logout, /whoami — auth helpers

Configuration

Server URL

• Env:
  • HENOSIS_SERVER
• Flag:
  • --server
• Dev shortcut:
  • --dev uses HENOSIS_DEV_SERVER or http://127.0.0.1:8000

Agent Mode

• Enable remote session connectivity with:
  • --agent-mode

Local tools and approvals

Henosis CLI can execute a controlled set of local tools when requested by the server.

Available tool categories include:

• file reading and writing
• directory listing
• patch application
• command execution
• managed background processes
• managed interactive terminals

Approval levels:

• Level 1 — read-only
• Level 2 — write and exec actions require approval
• Level 3 — unrestricted local execution

Filesystem modes:

• workspace — sandboxed to the current working directory by default
• host — restricted to a chosen Agent scope directory

You can also override the workspace root with:

• --workspace-dir /path/to/root
• HENOSIS_WORKSPACE_DIR=/path/to/root

Remote Control

Henosis CLI supports a connected remote workflow through Agent Mode.

Start the CLI with:

• henosis-cli --agent-mode

Then open Remote Control at:

• https://henosis.us/agent

From there, you can:

• monitor active sessions
• review terminal state
• send follow-up instructions
• handle approvals from the web
• reconnect without losing session continuity

Troubleshooting

If a provider streams deltas but never sends a final message.completed, the CLI prints a diagnostics block with:

• stream stats
• recent event tail
• relevant response headers

It also writes the same information to:

• logs/session-*.jsonl

Useful flags and environment variables:

• --debug-sse
• --debug-req
• HENOSIS_CLI_SSE_TAIL=80

Minimal test harness:

• python test_stream.py

Optional overrides:

• HENOSIS_TEST_URL
• HENOSIS_TEST_MODEL
• HENOSIS_TEST_PROMPT

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• Rich terminal support is included by default
• The reusable local tools library is available as henosis_cli_tools
