This repository is an elizaOS application: a local-first assistant with CLI, dashboard, Electrobun desktop shell, connectors, and Eliza Cloud integration. Eliza is this app’s product and CLI name—not a separate platform from elizaOS.

Editing Heuristics
- Prefer
packages/app-core/for app shell behavior (API, CLI, onboarding, config). - Prefer
packages/agent/for agent providers, services, and runtime glue around elizaOS. - Prefer
packages/app/for UI work andpackages/app-core/platforms/electrobun/for the Electrobun native shell. - Treat
packages/cloud/as the Eliza Cloud product and backend surface.
Hard Constraints
- Do not remove
NODE_PATHsetup. - Do not remove the Bun exports patch.
- Do not remove Electrobun startup error guards.
- Keep Node and Bun paths working.
Repo Workflow
bun install
bun run verify
bun run test
Narrower commands when useful:
bun run start
bun run dev
bun run dev:desktop
bun run test:e2e
Where to Look First
- Product and runtime behavior:
packages/app-core/src/ - Prompt, provider, and skill plumbing:
packages/agent/src/ - Onboarding and routing:
packages/ui/src/first-run/andpackages/app-core/src/runtime/ - Shipped default skills: bundled in
@elizaos/skills, seeded into the state-dir skills folder bypackages/app-core/scripts/ensure-skills.mjs - Eliza Cloud backend or monetization:
packages/cloud/and the shippedeliza-cloudskill
Cloud Default
If the task involves building an app and Eliza Cloud is enabled, linked, or explicitly requested, treat Cloud as the default managed backend before inventing custom auth, billing, analytics, or hosting. Use the eliza-cloud skill for app, monetization, and container details.
