# Cordis Services Catalog

Every `ctx.<key>` service a plugin can call: the exact public interface plus the class JSDoc. This is one axis of the **wiring** reference a plugin author works against — the events a plugin listens to are the sibling [events catalog](events.md), and [core-data-structures/](../core-data-structures/core.md) catalogs the *data structures* these signatures move around. An abstract seam (e.g. `ctx.bash`) is implemented by a separate package; the interface is what consumers code against.

This file is GENERATED from source (`scripts/gen-cordis-catalog.ts`) and verified fresh by `pnpm run verify-cordis-catalog` (part of `doc-sync`) — do not edit it by hand. Signature blocks use a `ts cordis-catalog` fence (skipped by doc-typecheck, since a bare signature is not standalone-compilable). Type names in a signature link to the page that documents them.

The **harness tier** below (the `@deepseek-ai/dsh-*` packages) is the vocabulary this repo owns. The **inherited tier** at the end is the cordis-core + loader/hmr/timer `ctx` surface a plugin also sees — pinned vendor source, summarized tersely.

## `ctx.agentLoop` — `AgentLoop`

The agent-loop plugin (`ctx.agentLoop`): creates ReactLoopAgents, runs their loops, and registers them in `ctx.agents`. Also implements the AgentFactory seam, so plugins create/resume agents through `ctx.agents` (the interface) without depending on this concrete package.

The loop itself is deliberately thin — every behavior beyond "call the model, run the tools, repeat" belongs to plugins listening on the event taxonomy declared in @deepseek-ai/dsh-agent.

```ts cordis-catalog
create(id: AgentId, options: AgentOptions = {}, meta: Pick<SessionHeader, 'cwd'> = {}): ReactLoopAgent
createAgent(options: CreateAgentOptions): AgentHandle
async resume(options: ResumeAgentOptions): Promise<AgentHandle>
```

Source: [`packages/core/agent-loop/src/index.ts:65`](../../packages/core/agent-loop/src/index.ts)

## `ctx.agents` — `AgentRegistry`

Agent registry (`ctx.agents`): tracks live agents so UI, hook, and orchestrator plugins can find them without depending on the concrete loop package. Agent *creation* is provided by whichever plugin implements the AgentFactory (phase 1: `@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-loop`), registered via setFactory.

```ts cordis-catalog
setFactory(factory: AgentFactory): () => void
create(options: CreateAgentOptions): AgentHandle
async resume(options: ResumeAgentOptions): Promise<AgentHandle>
register(agent: Agent): () => void
get(id: AgentId): Agent | undefined
list(): Agent[]
```

Types: [Agent](../core-data-structures/core.md)

Source: [`packages/core/agent/src/index.ts:117`](../../packages/core/agent/src/index.ts)

## `ctx.bash` — `BashExecutor` (abstract seam)

Abstract bash execution service. Subclass, implement the abstract methods, and load the subclass as a plugin — it registers as `ctx.bash` (one implementation per context; loading a second throws, which is cordis' standard duplicate-service behavior).

Semantics every implementation must honor:

- run REJECTS only for infrastructure failures (unusable workdir, missing shell, pre-aborted signal). Nonzero exits, timeout kills, and abort kills RESOLVE with a descriptive BashRunResult — reporting a failed command is the tool layer's job, not an exception.
- start returns immediately; no timeout applies to background tasks (callers stop them via kill or the spec's AbortSignal). Completion must fire the onTaskDone listeners exactly once per task, and must NOT fire after the service is disposed.
- readOutput is incremental: consecutive reads never re-deliver output. Implementations bound their buffers; reads that lost data flag `lossy` and point at full-stream spill files when available.
- Disposal kills every running task and awaits their exit (no orphan processes survive `fiber.dispose()`).

```ts cordis-catalog
abstract resolve(request: BashExecRequest): BashExecSpec
abstract run(spec: BashExecSpec): Promise<BashRunResult>
abstract start(spec: BashExecSpec): BashTask
abstract get(id: BashTaskId): BashTask | undefined
abstract ownerOf(id: BashTaskId): OwnerToken | undefined
abstract list(): BashTask[]
abstract readOutput(id: BashTaskId): BashTaskRead
abstract kill(id: BashTaskId): boolean
onTaskDone(listener: BashTaskListener): () => void
```

Types: [BashExecRequest](../core-data-structures/bash.md) · [BashExecSpec](../core-data-structures/bash.md) · [BashRunResult](../core-data-structures/bash.md) · [BashTask](../core-data-structures/bash.md) · [BashTaskRead](../core-data-structures/bash.md)

Source: [`packages/bash/bash/src/index.ts:59`](../../packages/bash/bash/src/index.ts)

## `ctx.compact` — `CompactService` (abstract seam)

Abstract compaction service. Subclass implement the two abstract methods, and load the subclass as a plugin — it registers as `ctx.compact` (one implementation per context; loading a second throws, which is cordis' standard duplicate-service behavior).

Both core methods are abstract: the contract states WHAT compaction does, while the entire strategy — token estimation, retention policy, event sequencing, summarization — is a HOW decision owned by the implementation.

Implementations MUST honor:

- **Surface contract**: a successful compaction shadows the compacted surface nodes with a SINGLE replacement node carrying the summary. Because `SurfaceEventType` is a closed union, that node is a `user/message` with `surfaceOp: { op:'replace', start, end }`; the `compact/*` events are log-only (lock + provenance).
- **Blocking**: no compaction begins while another is in progress for the same session. The recommended mechanism is the log-recorded lock — append `compact/start` before the slow work and `compact/end` after (even on failure) — so the lock is visible to replay and crash recovery.

```ts cordis-catalog
abstract compactIfNeeded( agent: CompactAgentContext, turn: number, step: number, fullSystemPrompt: string, signal: AbortSignal, ): Promise<CompactionResult | null>
abstract compactRegion( session: Session, start: number, end: number, agent: CompactAgentContext, turn: number, step: number, signal?: AbortSignal, ): Promise<CompactionResult>
```

Source: [`packages/compact/compact/src/index.ts:63`](../../packages/compact/compact/src/index.ts)

## `ctx.fs` — `FileSystem` (abstract seam)

Abstract filesystem provider service. Subclass, implement the seven storage primitives, and load the subclass as a plugin — it registers as `ctx.fs` (one implementation per context; loading a second throws, cordis' standard duplicate-service behavior).

Semantics every backend must honor:

- resolve returns a stable FsTarget; the same underlying file reached by different input paths must yield the same `targetKey` so stale guards and target lookup agree across paths (e.g. through symlinks).
- stat returns FsInfo metadata (never content) or `undefined` when the target is absent.
- readText/streamText read the whole regular text file (the stream for large files); both own regular-file checks, UTF-8 decoding, binary/NUL rejection, and `FS_NOT_TEXT`.
- listDir returns direct children of a directory in stable name order with resolved child targets and cheap metadata only. It never reads file contents. Missing targets throw `FS_NOT_FOUND`, non-directories throw `FS_NOT_DIRECTORY`, permission failures throw `FS_PERMISSION_DENIED`, and other backend I/O failures throw `FS_IO_ERROR`.
- writeText is atomic temp-file + rename. `expected` is OPTIONAL: omit it for an unconditional create-or-overwrite (the bare-provider default), or supply a FsWriteIntent to guard the write.
- editText verifies `expected.version` BEFORE literal matching (so a stale edit reports `FS_STALE_VERSION`, not `FS_EDIT_NOT_FOUND`/ `FS_AMBIGUOUS_EDIT` against newer content), then applies literal replacement and writes atomically — all inside one mutation critical section. `expected` is OPTIONAL: omit it for an unconditional edit of the current content (a missing target still reports `FS_STALE_VERSION`).

```ts cordis-catalog
abstract resolve(path: string, opts?: { cwd?: string }): Promise<FsTarget>
abstract stat(target: FsTarget, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<FsInfo | undefined>
abstract readText(target: FsTarget, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<string>
abstract streamText(target: FsTarget, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<AsyncIterable<string>>
abstract listDir(target: FsTarget, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<FsDirEntry[]>
abstract writeText(target: FsTarget, content: string, expected?: FsWriteIntent, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<FsWriteOutcome>
abstract editText(target: FsTarget, edit: FsEditRequest, expected?: { version: FsVersion }, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<FsEditOutcome>
```

Types: [FsEditOutcome](../core-data-structures/filesystem.md) · [FsEditRequest](../core-data-structures/filesystem.md) · [FsInfo](../core-data-structures/filesystem.md) · [FsTarget](../core-data-structures/filesystem.md) · [FsVersion](../core-data-structures/filesystem.md) · [FsWriteIntent](../core-data-structures/filesystem.md) · [FsWriteOutcome](../core-data-structures/filesystem.md)

## `ctx.llm` — `LlmService`

The abstract `llm` service: an adapter registry plus a streaming model-call surface, interceptable via the `llm/stream` waterfall.

```ts cordis-catalog
registerAdapter(models: string[], adapter: LlmAdapter): () => void
models(): string[]
stream(options: GenerateOptions): AsyncIterable<StreamChunk>
```

Types: [GenerateOptions](../core-data-structures/core.md) · [StreamChunk](../core-data-structures/llm-streaming.md)

Source: [`packages/llm/llm/src/index.ts:78`](../../packages/llm/llm/src/index.ts)

## `ctx.sessionPersistence` — `SessionPersistence` (abstract seam)

Abstract durable session-persistence service. Subclass, implement the abstract methods, and load the subclass as a plugin — it registers as `ctx.sessionPersistence` (one implementation per context; loading a second throws, cordis' standard duplicate-service behavior).

Contracts every implementation MUST honor (a DB backend asserts them inside a transaction; a file backend appends at EOF):

- **Append-only; a crashed turn is closed, not truncated.** Committed events — those at or below a flushed `turn/end` — are never rewritten. A crash can leave an unclosed final turn whose events are real (and possibly large); load preserves them and closes the orphaned turn with synthetic boundary events (see load). Only a never-fully-written torn tail fragment is discarded.
- **Contiguous seq.** A persisted log is contiguous: `events[i].seq === i`. load rejects a parse error or a `seq` gap in the COMMITTED region (unloadable); append's first event `seq` MUST equal the backend's stored next-seq (after `load` has balanced any interrupted turn).
- **JSON-serializable data.** `SessionEventMap` is merge-extensible and `event.data` is typed only as `SessionEventMap[K]`, so append REJECTS non-JSON-serializable data with an error naming the offending event type. A backend snapshots (serializes/clones) each event when it buffers, since `session.events` hands out the live mutable object.
- **Durability.** append returns only once the batch is durable (the file backend fsyncs; a DB commits). create MAY defer the physical write until the first append (lazy materialization).

```ts cordis-catalog
abstract create(meta: SessionHeader): Promise<void>
abstract append(id: SessionId, events: readonly SessionEvent[]): Promise<void>
abstract load(id: SessionId): Promise<{ meta: SessionHeader; events: SessionEvent[] }>
abstract list(): Promise<SessionHeader[]>
```

Types: [SessionEvent](../core-data-structures/core.md)

Source: [`packages/session-persistence/session-persistence/src/index.ts:98`](../../packages/session-persistence/session-persistence/src/index.ts)

## `ctx.sessions` — `SessionStore`

In-memory session store (`ctx.sessions`).

Persistence is intentionally not implemented here — persistence plugins subscribe to `session/event` and flush on `session/flush` / dispose.

```ts cordis-catalog
create(id?: SessionId, options?: CreateSessionOptions): Session
prepare(id?: SessionId, options?: CreateSessionOptions): Session
enter(session: Session): () => void
announce(session: Session): void
get(id: SessionId): Session | undefined
list(): Session[]
```

Source: [`packages/core/session/src/index.ts:327`](../../packages/core/session/src/index.ts)

## `ctx.skills` — `SkillService`

Skill discovery service. It scans project/user/system skill roots, exposes model-visible summaries, loads full skill bodies on demand, and injects the stable `## Skills` listing into each agent request.

```ts cordis-catalog
register(skill: SkillRegistration): () => void
async list(options: SkillLookupOptions = {}): Promise<SkillSummary[]>
async get(name: string, options: SkillLookupOptions = {}): Promise<SkillDefinition | undefined>
async renderModelListing(options: SkillLookupOptions = {}): Promise<string>
```

Source: [`packages/core/skill/src/index.ts:128`](../../packages/core/skill/src/index.ts)

## `ctx.subagents` — `SubagentService`

The `subagents` service: a registry of named SubagentProviders and a capability-checked start surface.

```ts cordis-catalog
registerProvider(provider: SubagentProvider): () => void
getProvider(name: string): SubagentProvider | undefined
list(): string[]
start(name: string, request: SubagentStartRequest): SubagentRun
```

Source: [`packages/subagent/subagent/src/index.ts:123`](../../packages/subagent/subagent/src/index.ts)

## `ctx.systemPrompt` — `SystemPrompt`

Registry service (`ctx.systemPrompt`): plugins contribute ordered text sections and tool-schema providers; the agent loop calls `assemble()` once per step.

```ts cordis-catalog
section(section: PromptSection): () => void
tools(provider: () => ToolSchema[]): () => void
assemble(): Promise<PromptAssembly>
```

Source: [`packages/core/system-prompt/src/index.ts:73`](../../packages/core/system-prompt/src/index.ts)

## `ctx.tools` — `ToolRegistry`

Tool registry (`ctx.tools`): tool plugins register definitions; the agent loop executes calls through the `tools/pre-execute` → dispatch → `tools/post-execute` pipeline. The registry contributes its schemas into the system-prompt assembly.

```ts cordis-catalog
register(definition: ToolDefinition): () => void
get(name: string): ToolDefinition | undefined
schemas(): ToolSchema[]
async execute(exec: ToolExecution): Promise<ToolExecutionResult>
```

Types: [ToolDefinition](../core-data-structures/tools.md) · [ToolExecution](../core-data-structures/tools.md) · [ToolExecutionResult](../core-data-structures/tools.md)

Source: [`packages/core/tools/src/index.ts:268`](../../packages/core/tools/src/index.ts)

## `ctx.web` — `WebService`

The web access service. Registered as `ctx.web` (one instance per context).

Selection semantics (resolved at execution time, never order-dependent):

- A configured id that is registered and `status().available` → that provider.
- A configured id not registered → `WEB_PROVIDER_CONFIGURED_MISSING`.
- A configured id registered but unavailable → `WEB_PROVIDER_CONFIGURED_UNAVAILABLE`.
- No id configured, exactly one registered usable provider → that provider.
- No id configured, multiple usable providers → `WEB_PROVIDER_AMBIGUOUS`.
- No id configured, no usable provider → `WEB_PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE`.

```ts cordis-catalog
registerSearchProvider(provider: WebSearchProvider): () => void
registerFetchProvider(provider: WebFetchProvider): () => void
async search(request: WebSearchRequest, exec?: WebExecContext): Promise<WebSearchResult>
async fetch(request: WebFetchRequest, exec?: WebExecContext): Promise<WebFetchResult>
```

## Inherited `ctx` members (cordis core + loader/hmr/timer)

The framework `ctx` surface every plugin also sees, beyond the harness services above. This is pinned vendor source ([vendoring policy](../../vendor/README.md)); it is summarized here so the page is a complete picture of what `ctx` offers, without elevating framework internals to the harness tier's prominence.

- `ctx.on / ctx.once` — Register an event listener (disposable). ([`vendor/cordis/src/events.ts:29`](../../vendor/cordis/src/events.ts))
- `ctx.emit / ctx.parallel / ctx.serial / ctx.bail / ctx.waterfall` — Dispatch an event (sync / awaited / first-bail / veto-chain). ([`vendor/cordis/src/events.ts:29`](../../vendor/cordis/src/events.ts))
- `ctx.plugin / ctx.inject` — Load a plugin / declare required services. ([`vendor/cordis/src/registry.ts:144`](../../vendor/cordis/src/registry.ts))
- `ctx.effect` — Register a disposable side effect tied to the fiber. ([`vendor/cordis/src/fiber.ts:9`](../../vendor/cordis/src/fiber.ts))
- `ctx.get / ctx.set / ctx.provide / ctx.accessor / ctx.mixin` — Low-level service-store access and binding. ([`vendor/cordis/src/reflect.ts:7`](../../vendor/cordis/src/reflect.ts))
- `ctx.extend / ctx.isolate / ctx.intercept` — Derive a child context (scoped services / isolation / interception). ([`vendor/cordis/src/context.ts:35`](../../vendor/cordis/src/context.ts))
- `ctx.root / ctx.scope / ctx.fiber / ctx.registry / ctx.reflect / ctx.events / ctx.logger` — Ambient handles onto the running context graph. ([`vendor/cordis/src/context.ts:16`](../../vendor/cordis/src/context.ts))
- `ctx.timer (+ interval / timeout / throttle / debounce / setTimeout / setInterval)` — Disposable timer helpers. The `timer` key is provided at runtime; the six helpers are mixed onto ctx directly (declared via Pick). ([`vendor/timer/src/index.ts:4`](../../vendor/timer/src/index.ts))
- `ctx.loader` — The config Loader that booted the app (present under the loader). ([`vendor/loader/src/index.ts:30`](../../vendor/loader/src/index.ts))
