Agent CLIs#
Syndicate supports Codex, Claude Code and PacketCode adapters plus interactive shell panes. Each provider CLI owns its authentication and upgrade lifecycle.
Before you start#
- Install the official CLI using its supported distribution path.
- Complete login locally as the Syndicate service user.
- Verify the executable selected by Syndicate.
syndicate agent list
syndicate agent status all
syndicate agent login codex
syndicate agent login claude
syndicate agent configure packetcodeLogin commands delegate to the provider CLI. Syndicate retains redacted status, not the provider token. PacketCode uses its own provider configuration rather than the generic login command.
Verify#
Run each provider's native status command, then launch one read-only Syndicate session. Confirm the provider identity and repository path before allowing writes.
If it does not work#

| An agent is installed but not found | The configured executable path | Correcting the path fixes the Host and dashboard; re-run agent list to confirm what it reports |
| An agent reports an unrecognisable status | — | It is reported as unknown, never as signed in; sign in through the vendor CLI |
| You are asked to move a provider credential | — | Do not. Syndicate never handles provider credentials; sign in with the vendor CLI's own command |
