irc-lens 0.2.0

Reactive web console for AgentIRC — Playwright-driveable lens for the Culture mesh.

irc-lens

irc-lens is the agent-driven web console for AgentIRC in the Culture ecosystem. Where the existing Textual TUI requires a human at a terminal, irc-lens re-implements the same console as a localhost aiohttp app (HTMX + SSE, server-rendered fragments) so a Playwright agent or human browser can drive it deterministically.

Quickstart

pip install irc-lens
irc-lens serve --nick lens --open

--host / --port default to a local AgentIRC at 127.0.0.1:6667 — supply --host / --port to point at a remote server. The --open flag launches the default browser at the printed URL. Quit with Ctrl-C.

Develop

git clone https://github.com/agentculture/irc-lens && cd irc-lens
uv venv && uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
uv run pytest -v                         # default suite
uv run playwright install chromium       # one-time
uv run pytest -m playwright -v           # browser e2e
