Commands

bin/trading-agent with no subcommand opens the terminal program, a full-screen chat that does everything the web page does. The subcommands below are for scripts, setup and checks. Run any command with --help for its options.

Command	What it does
(none)	Opens the terminal program on the desk used last, or the one named with --desk NAME
-p TEXT [--desk NAME] [--output-format text\|json\|stream-json]	Sends one message or slash command and prints the reply, like claude -p; text piped on standard input goes before it
serve	Runs the gateway and its desks; the service normally does this
doctor	Checks everything the agent depends on
preflight	The doctor plus the going-live checks, with a verdict
send [--desk NAME] TEXT	The same as -p with the text format; kept for scripts that use it
proposals list, accept ID, reject ID	The desks' proposed changes to your files
checkpoints list [--desk NAME], restore [--desk NAME] ID	Snapshots of a desk's own files; the desk is general unless named
skills list, import SOURCE	Your skills and the desks' own; import from a folder, zip or git URL
mcp list	Each MCP server's state and tools
packages install SOURCE, list, remove NAME	Packages of skills, subagents, MCP servers, hooks and apps
apps list, enable NAME, disable NAME	The packages' web apps and their systemd units
subagents list	The subagent definitions
pairing list, approve CODE, revoke CHAT_ID	Telegram chats allowed to command the desks

bin/trading-agent changes to the project folder first, so it can be run from anywhere.
