Zima Blue CLI - Personal Agent Orchestration Platform

Zima Blue CLI

"I chose blue. That intense blue." — Zima Blue

Zima Blue CLI is a personal Agent orchestration platform that lets you run a 7x24 autonomous AI Agent factory on your own computer.

Simply define Prompt templates and configuration parameters, and Zima will automatically invoke Kimi CLI to execute tasks and return structured results.

Define Prompt Template → Configure Parameters → Execute → Get Results

Architecture

Configuration Entities

Zima uses a layered configuration design, enabling flexible task execution through composition:

Entity	Purpose	Example
Agent	AI executor config (kimi/claude/gemini)	code-reviewer
Workflow	Prompt template (Jinja2)	code-review-template
Variable	Template variable values	review-vars
Env	Environment variables and secrets	prod-env
PMG	Dynamic parameter groups	build-params
PJob	Execution config (composes all above)	daily-review-task

Execution Flow

# Quick execution (shorthand)
zima run my-agent

# Composed execution (recommended)
zima pjob run my-task    # Combines Agent + Workflow + Variable + Env

Important This project adopts an iterative design approach. Always refer to docs/architecture/ for the latest design, and use AGENTS.md at the repository root as the final authority for implementation.

Quick Start

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/zhuxixi/zima-blue-cli.git
cd zima-blue-cli

# Install dependencies
pip install -e "."

Basic Usage

# Create an Agent
zima create my-agent

# Run the Agent

Advanced Usage: Composed Configuration

# 1. Create an Agent
zima agent create --name "Code Reviewer" --code reviewer --type kimi

# 2. Create a Workflow template
zima workflow create --name "Review Template" --code review \
  --template "# Review: {{ task_name }}\n\n{{ description }}"

# 3. Create Variable configuration
zima variable create --name "Review Vars" --code review-vars
zima variable set review-vars task_name "Bug Fix Review"
zima variable set review-vars description "Check for memory leaks"

# 4. Create a PJob composition
zima pjob create --name "Code Review Task" --code review-task \
  --agent reviewer --workflow review --variable review-vars

# 5. Run the task
zima pjob run review-task

Use Cases

• SOP Tasks: DevOps scripts, data processing, report generation
• R&D Tasks: Test coverage, code refactoring (workflow-driven via Prompt)
• CI/CD Integration: Build steps that return structured results
• Scheduled Tasks: Periodic automation via cron

Development

See AGENTS.md for development conventions, coding style, and design principles.

Naming Origin

Zima Blue is inspired by Alastair Reynolds' science fiction short story Zima Blue.

The story follows an artist-robot who, after millennia of upgrades and evolution, ultimately returns to its original form as a simple pool-cleaning robot — symbolizing returning to essence and self-evolution.
