SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The ax-host Skill solves the need for managing and orchestrating various aspects of the AX platform's host process, including server actions, IPC handling, request lifecycles, and event streaming.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Server Orchestration: Manage server actions such as message routing, IPC handler, request lifecycle, event streaming, file handling, plugin loading, and agent delegation.
  • IPC Handling: Handle inter-process communication between sandboxed agents and provider implementations.
  • Request Lifecycle Management: Manage the full lifecycle of requests, from spawn to cleanup, ensuring efficient and secure processing.
  • Use Case: For instance, the ax-host Skill is instrumental in automating server orchestration and managing the communication between agents and plugins, streamlining the overall operational workflow.

Quick Start

To modify the trusted host process, use the ax-host Skill in src/host/ to perform server orchestration and handle IPC actions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage server orchestration and IPC handling for sandboxed agents?

Server orchestration and IPC handling for sandboxed agents are managed by modifying the trusted host process. This enables message routing, event streaming, and plugin loading to streamline operational workflows.

What is the best way to handle inter-process communication between agents and plugins?

Inter-process communication between agents and provider implementations is handled through dedicated IPC handlers. This ensures secure and efficient message routing and direct plugin loading within the host process.

How do I manage the full request lifecycle from spawn to cleanup?

Request lifecycle management controls the full process from spawn to cleanup. It ensures efficient and secure processing of server actions, file handling, and event streaming operations throughout the request duration.

Can I automate agent delegation and message routing within the AX platform?

Yes, agent delegation and message routing can be automated through server orchestration. This streamlines communication between agents and plugins, managing the full lifecycle of server actions and events.

Does server orchestration work with event streaming and file handling tasks?

Server orchestration supports event streaming and file handling tasks within the host process. These actions are managed alongside IPC handling and request lifecycle control to ensure efficient processing.

Why does my request lifecycle management fail during plugin loading?

Request lifecycle management failures during plugin loading typically stem from improper IPC handling or server orchestration misconfiguration. Ensure the trusted host process correctly routes messages and manages spawn and cleanup operations.
