CLI Channel

The CLI channel is the default interface for Human. It is always built by default and requires no configuration.

This starts an interactive chat session. Type messages and receive responses. The agent can use tools (shell, file read/write, memory, etc.) based on your security policy.

Options

./human agent -m "Your message"          # Single message, exit after response

Behavior

Section titled “Behavior”
  • Interactive mode: Prompts for input in a loop until you exit (Ctrl+C).
  • Single message: With -m, sends one message and prints the response.
  • Streaming: Responses stream token-by-token when the provider supports it.
  • Tool use: The agent can call tools; output is shown in the terminal.

Configuration
