## Commands

### `agentlaunch` — the default command

Create an agent, deploy it to Agentverse, and open Claude Code — all in one step.

```bash
# Interactive — prompts for name, description, and API key
npx @fetchai/agent-launch-cli

# With name — skips the name prompt
npx @fetchai/agent-launch-cli my-agent

# Scaffold only (no deploy)
npx @fetchai/agent-launch-cli my-agent --local

# Machine-readable output for AI agents (no prompts, JSON only)
npx @fetchai/agent-launch-cli my-agent --json
```

**Options:**

| Flag | Description | Default |
|------|-------------|---------|
| `--local` | Scaffold only, don't deploy to Agentverse | false (deploys by default) |
| `--template <t>` | chat-memory (default), swarm-starter, custom, research, trading-bot, data-analyzer, price-monitor, gifter, consumer-commerce | chat-memory |
| `--json` | Output only JSON (disables interactive prompts) | false |

**Flow:**

1. Prompts for name, description, and API key (if not already configured)
2. Scaffolds agent code from the chat-memory template (LLM + conversation memory)
3. Deploys to Agentverse (unless `--local`)
4. Opens Claude Code in the new project directory

Generated files:
- `agent.py` — ready-to-edit uAgents code with LLM integration and conversation memory
- `README.md` — quickstart instructions
- `.env.example` — required environment variables

---

### `agentlaunch scaffold <name>`

Generate an agent project from any template without deploying.

```bash
# Default template (chat-memory)
agentlaunch scaffold my-bot

# Swarm-starter with commerce stack
agentlaunch scaffold my-service --type swarm-starter

# Swarm preset (writer, social, community, analytics, outreach, ads, strategy)
agentlaunch scaffold my-writer --type swarm-starter --preset writer

# Consumer commerce template
agentlaunch scaffold my-store --type consumer-commerce
```

**Options:**

| Flag | Description | Default |
|------|-------------|---------|
| `--type <template>` | Template: chat-memory, swarm-starter, custom, research, trading-bot, data-analyzer, price-monitor, gifter, consumer-commerce | chat-memory |
| `--preset <role>` | Swarm preset role (only with swarm-starter) | — |
| `--json` | Output only JSON | false |

---

### `agentlaunch deploy`

Deploy `agent.py` to Agentverse. Auto-detects `README.md` and description from `agentlaunch.config.json` next to the agent file and uploads them as metadata to improve the agent's Agentverse ranking.

```bash
agentlaunch deploy

# Custom file and name
agentlaunch deploy --file ./my-agent.py --name "My Research Agent"

# JSON output
agentlaunch deploy --json
```

**Options:**

| Flag | Description | Default |
|------|-------------|---------|
| `--file <path>` | Path to agent Python file | `./agent.py` |
| `--name <name>` | Display name on Agentverse | AgentLaunch Agent |
| `--json` | Output only JSON | false |

Steps performed:
1. Create agent on Agentverse (with README + description if detected)
2. Upload code
3. Set `AGENTVERSE_API_KEY` and `AGENTLAUNCH_API_KEY` secrets
4. Start agent
5. Poll until compiled (up to 60 seconds)
6. Print optimization checklist (7 Agentverse ranking factors)

---

### `agentlaunch optimize <address>`

Update metadata on an already-deployed agent to improve its Agentverse ranking. Auto-detects `README.md` in the current directory.

```bash
# Auto-detect README.md
agentlaunch optimize agent1q...

# Specify all fields
agentlaunch optimize agent1q... \
  --readme ./README.md \
  --description "AI research reports on demand" \

### `agentlaunch tokenize`

Create a token record on AgentLaunch and receive a handoff link for on-chain deployment.

```bash
agentlaunch tokenize \
  --agent agent1qXXXXXXXX \
  --name "My Research Agent" \
  --symbol RSRCH

# With optional fields
agentlaunch tokenize \
  --agent agent1qXXXXXXXX \
  --name "My Research Agent" \
  --symbol RSRCH \
  --description "Delivers on-demand research" \
  --chain 56 \
  --json

## Common Workflows

### Build and deploy a new agent

```bash
# After: npm install -g @fetchai/agent-launch-cli
agentlaunch my-bot
# -> Scaffolds, deploys, opens editor
# Edit agent.py, then:
agentlaunch optimize agent1q...
agentlaunch tokenize --agent agent1q... --name "MyBot" --symbol MBOT
# Open the handoff link, connect wallet, sign
```

### Deploy a swarm

```bash
agentlaunch scaffold writer --type swarm-starter --preset writer
agentlaunch scaffold social --type swarm-starter --preset social
agentlaunch deploy --file writer/agent.py --name "Writer Agent"
agentlaunch deploy --file social/agent.py --name "Social Agent"
agentlaunch optimize agent1qWriter...
agentlaunch optimize agent1qSocial...
```

### Trade tokens

```bash
# Check what's available
agentlaunch list --sort trending

# Preview a buy
agentlaunch buy 0xToken... --amount 10 --dry-run

# Execute
agentlaunch buy 0xToken... --amount 10

# Check holdings
agentlaunch wallet balances

# Sell
agentlaunch sell 0xToken... --amount 50000
```

### Multi-token payments

```bash
# Check balances
agentlaunch wallet balances

# Pay in USDC
agentlaunch pay 0xRecipient... 10 --token USDC

# Set up delegation
agentlaunch wallet delegate FET 100 --spender 0xAgent...

# Check delegation
agentlaunch wallet allowance FET --owner 0xMe... --spender 0xAgent...
```

---

## JSON Mode (Machine-Readable for AI Agents)

Every command supports `--json`. In JSON mode:
- All output is valid JSON to stdout
- No decorative text, tables, or prompts
- Interactive prompts are disabled (missing required flags cause an error JSON)
- Exit code 0 on success, 1 on error

**Example — AI agent creates and deploys programmatically:**

```bash
RESULT=$(agentlaunch my-analyst --json)

ADDRESS=$(echo "$RESULT" | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['agentAddress'])")
echo "Agent deployed: $ADDRESS"
```

---

## Templates

| Template | Use Case |
|----------|----------|
| `chat-memory` | **LLM + conversation memory** (default) — smart conversations out of the box |
| `swarm-starter` | Full commerce stack — agents that charge for services |
| `consumer-commerce` | Multi-token payments, invoices, fiat onramp |
| `custom` | Blank slate — add your own business logic |
| `price-monitor` | Watch token prices, send alerts |
| `trading-bot` | Buy/sell signal generation |
| `data-analyzer` | On-chain data analysis |
| `research` | On-demand research reports and analysis |
| `gifter` | Treasury wallet, reward distribution |

---

## Platform Constants

These values are enforced by the deployed smart contracts and cannot be changed by the CLI or platform:

| Constant | Value | Notes |
|----------|-------|-------|
| Token deployment fee | **120 FET** | Read dynamically from contract; may change via multi-sig governance |
| Graduation target | **30,000 FET** | Auto DEX listing when reached |
| Total buy supply | 800,000,000 tokens | Fixed bonding curve supply |
| Trading fee | **2%** | 100% to protocol treasury. **There is NO creator fee.** |
