+
+## Testing Agents
+
+### CLI Testing
+```bash
+# Validate agent
+typedialog-ag validate agents/greeting.agent.mdx
+
+# Transpile to Nickel
+typedialog-ag transpile agents/greeting.agent.mdx
+
+# Execute (interactive)
+typedialog-ag agents/greeting.agent.mdx
+```
+
+### HTTP Server Testing
+```bash
+# Start server
+typedialog-ag serve --port 8765
+
+# Test health
+curl http://localhost:8765/health
+
+# Validate agent
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/validate \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"agent_file":"agents/greeting.agent.mdx"}'
+
+# Execute agent
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/agents/greeting/execute \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"name":"World"}'
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Clear Role**: Define specific role in `@agent` directive
+2. **Type Inputs**: Declare input types explicitly
+3. **Validate Output**: Use `@validate` to ensure quality
+4. **Right Model**: Choose LLM based on task complexity
+5. **Temperature**: Lower for factual, higher for creative
+6. **Token Limits**: Set appropriate max_tokens for task
+7. **Prompts**: Be specific and provide clear instructions
+8. **Examples**: Include examples in prompt when helpful
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Ensure you have API keys configured:
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...  # If using OpenAI models
+```
+
+## Cache
+
+The system automatically caches transpiled Nickel code:
+```bash
+# Check cache stats
+typedialog-ag cache stats
+
+# Clear cache
+typedialog-ag cache clear
+```
+
+Cache location: `~/.typeagent/cache/`

+# typedialog-agent
+
+> Type-safe AI agent execution with 3-layer validation pipeline
+
+Part of the [TypeDialog](https://github.com/yourusername/typedialog) ecosystem.
+
+## Features
+
+- **3-Layer Pipeline**: MDX → Nickel → MD with validation at each step
+- **Type Safety**: Compile-time type checking via Nickel
+- **Multi-Format**: .agent.mdx, .agent.ncl, .agent.md support
+- **CLI + Server**: Execute locally or via HTTP API
+- **Cache Layer**: Memory + disk caching for fast re-execution
+- **Integration**: Works with typedialog-ai for form-based agent creation
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Layer 1: Markup Parser
+  .agent.mdx → AST
+  Parse @directives, {{variables}}, markdown
+
+Layer 2: Nickel Transpiler + Evaluator
+  AST → Nickel code → Type check → AgentDefinition
+
+Layer 3: Executor
+  AgentDefinition + Inputs → LLM → Validated Output
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### CLI Usage
+
+```bash
+# Execute agent
+typeagent architect.agent.mdx --input feature_name="authentication"
+
+# Transpile to Nickel (inspect generated code)
+typeagent transpile architect.agent.mdx -o architect.agent.ncl
+
+# Validate without execution
+typeagent validate architect.agent.mdx
+
+# Start HTTP server
+typeagent serve --port 8765
+```
+
+### Programmatic Usage
+
+```rust
+use typedialog_ag_core::{AgentLoader, AgentFormat};
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
+    let loader = AgentLoader::new();
+
+    // Load agent
+    let agent = loader.load(Path::new("architect.agent.mdx")).await?;
+
+    // Execute with inputs
+    let inputs = [("feature_name", "auth")].into_iter()
+        .map(|(k, v)| (k.to_string(), serde_json::Value::String(v.to_string())))
+        .collect();
+
+    let result = loader.execute(&agent, inputs).await?;
+
+    println!("{}", result.output);
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+## Integration with TypeDialog Ecosystem
+
+### With typedialog-ai
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create agent using AI-assisted form
+typedialog form agent-builder.toml --backend ai
+# → Generates architect.agent.mdx
+
+# 2. Execute with typeagent
+typeagent architect.agent.mdx
+```
+
+### With Vapora (MCP Plugin)
+
+```rust
+// Vapora uses typedialog-ag-core as library
+use typedialog_ag_core::AgentLoader;
+
+let loader = AgentLoader::new();
+let agent = loader.load(Path::new("agents/architect.agent.mdx")).await?;
+// Execute via Vapora orchestration

+# TypeAgent Quick Start
+
+Get started with TypeAgent in 5 minutes.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Rust toolchain (1.75+)
+- Anthropic API key
+
+## Setup
+
+### 1. Set API Key
+
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
+```
+
+### 2. Build TypeAgent
+
+```bash
+cd crates/typedialog-agent/typedialog-ag
+cargo build --release
+```
+
+### 3. Add to PATH (optional)
+
+```bash
+export PATH="$PWD/target/release:$PATH"
+```
+
+## Your First Agent
+
+### Create an Agent File
+
+Create `hello.agent.mdx`:
+
+```markdown
+---
+@agent {
+  role: friendly assistant,
+  llm: claude-3-5-haiku-20241022
+}
+
+@input name: String
+---
+
+Say hello to {{ name }} in a creative and friendly way!
+```
+
+### Run It
+
+```bash
+typeagent hello.agent.mdx
+```
+
+You'll see:
+
+```
+🤖 TypeAgent Executor
+
+✓ Parsed agent definition
+✓ Transpiled to Nickel
+✓ Evaluated agent definition
+
+Agent Configuration:
+  Role: friendly assistant
+  Model: claude-3-5-haiku-20241022
+  Max tokens: 4096
+  Temperature: 0.7
+
+name (String): Alice█
+```
+
+Type a name and press Enter. The agent will execute and show the response!
+
+## Next Steps
+
+### Try the Examples
+
+```bash
+# Simple greeting
+typeagent tests/fixtures/simple.agent.mdx --yes
+
+# Creative haiku
+typeagent tests/fixtures/haiku.agent.mdx
+```
+
+### Validate Before Running
+
+```bash
+typeagent validate hello.agent.mdx
+```
+
+### See the Nickel Code
+
+```bash
+typeagent transpile hello.agent.mdx
+```
+
+## Common Workflows
+
+### Development Workflow
+
+```bash
+# 1. Write your agent
+vim agent.mdx
+
+# 2. Validate it
+typeagent validate agent.mdx
+
+# 3. Test with verbose output
+typeagent agent.mdx --verbose
+
+# 4. Run in production
+typeagent agent.mdx
+```
+
+### Quick Iteration
+
+Use `--yes` to skip prompts during development:
+
+```bash
+# Edit agent.mdx
+# Run without prompts
+typeagent agent.mdx --yes
+```
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Context Injection
+
+Import files into your agent:
+
+```markdown
+@import "./docs/**/*.md" as documentation
+@shell "git log --oneline -5" as recent_commits
+```
+
+### Output Validation
+
+Ensure output meets requirements:
+
+```markdown
+@validate output {
+  must_contain: ["Security", "Performance"],
+  format: markdown,
+  min_length: 100
+}
+```
+
+### Conditional Logic
+
+Use Tera template syntax:
+
+```markdown
+{% if has_description %}
+Description: {{ description }}
+{% endif %}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY not set"
+
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
+```
+
+### "Failed to parse agent MDX"
+
+Check your frontmatter syntax:
+
+```markdown
+---
+@agent {
+  role: assistant,  # <- comma required
+  llm: claude-3-5-haiku-20241022
+}
+---
+```
+
+### "Permission denied"
+
+```bash
+chmod +x ./target/release/typeagent
+```

+
+## Setup
+
+### 1. Set API Key
+
+**For Claude:**
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
+```
+
+**For OpenAI:**
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
+```
+
+**For Gemini:**
+```bash
+export GEMINI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
+# Or use GOOGLE_API_KEY
+export GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
+```
+
+**For Ollama (local models):**
+```bash
+# Install and start Ollama first
+# Download from: https://ollama.ai
+ollama serve  # Start the Ollama server
+
+# Pull a model (in another terminal)
+ollama pull llama2
+
+# Optional: Override default URL
+export OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434
+```
+
+### 2. Create Agent MDX File
+
+```markdown
+---
+@agent {
+  role: assistant,
+  llm: claude-3-5-haiku-20241022
+}
+---
+
+Hello {{ name }}! How can I help you today?
+```
+
+### 3. Execute Agent
+
+```rust
+use typedialog_ag_core::{MarkupParser, NickelTranspiler, NickelEvaluator, AgentExecutor};
+use std::collections::HashMap;
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    // Parse MDX
+    let parser = MarkupParser::new();
+    let ast = parser.parse(mdx_content)?;
+
+    // Transpile to Nickel
+    let transpiler = NickelTranspiler::new();
+    let nickel_code = transpiler.transpile(&ast)?;
+
+    // Evaluate to AgentDefinition
+    let evaluator = NickelEvaluator::new();
+    let agent_def = evaluator.evaluate(&nickel_code)?;
+
+    // Execute with LLM
+    let executor = AgentExecutor::new();
+    let mut inputs = HashMap::new();
+    inputs.insert("name".to_string(), serde_json::json!("Alice"));
+
+    let result = executor.execute(&agent_def, inputs).await?;
+    println!("Response: {}", result.output);
+    println!("Tokens: {}", result.metadata.tokens.unwrap_or(0));
+
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Agent configuration is specified in the MDX frontmatter:
+
+```yaml
+@agent {
+  role: creative writer,      # System prompt role
+  llm: claude-3-5-haiku-20241022,  # Model name
+  tools: [],                   # Tool calling (future)
+  max_tokens: 4096,           # Optional (default: 4096)
+  temperature: 0.7            # Optional (default: 0.7)
+}
+```
+
+## LLM Provider Architecture
+
+### Provider Trait
+
+```rust
+#[async_trait]
+pub trait LlmProvider: Send + Sync {
+    async fn complete(&self, request: LlmRequest) -> Result<LlmResponse>;
+    fn name(&self) -> &str;
+}
+```
+
+### Request/Response
+
+```rust
+pub struct LlmRequest {
+    pub model: String,
+    pub messages: Vec<LlmMessage>,
+    pub max_tokens: Option<usize>,
+    pub temperature: Option<f64>,
+    pub system: Option<String>,
+}
+
+pub struct LlmResponse {
+    pub content: String,
+    pub model: String,
+    pub usage: Option<TokenUsage>,
+}
+```
+
+### Automatic Provider Selection
+
+The executor automatically selects the correct provider based on model name:
+
+- `claude-*`, `anthropic-*` → ClaudeProvider
+- `gpt-*`, `o1-*`, `o3-*`, `o4-*` → OpenAIProvider
+- `gemini-*` → GeminiProvider
+- `llama*`, `mistral*`, `phi*`, `codellama*`, `mixtral*`, `qwen*`, etc. → OllamaProvider
+
+## Examples
+
+### Run Complete Pipeline
+
+```bash
+cargo run --example llm_execution
+```
+
+### Compare All Providers
+
+```bash
+# Run all four providers with the same prompt
+cargo run --example provider_comparison
+
+# Run specific provider only
+cargo run --example provider_comparison claude
+cargo run --example provider_comparison openai
+cargo run --example provider_comparison gemini
+cargo run --example provider_comparison ollama
+```
+
+### Run with Test (requires API key)
+
+```bash
+cargo test --package typedialog-ag-core -- test_execute_with_real_llm --exact --ignored --nocapture
+```
+
+### Integration Test
+
+```bash
+cargo test --package typedialog-ag-core --test simple_integration_test -- test_complete_pipeline_with_llm --exact --ignored --nocapture
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+```rust
+match executor.execute(&agent_def, inputs).await {
+    Ok(result) => {
+        if !result.validation_passed {
+            eprintln!("Validation errors: {:?}", result.validation_errors);
+        }
+        println!("Output: {}", result.output);
+    }
+    Err(e) => {
+        if e.to_string().contains("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY") {
+            eprintln!("Error: API key not set");
+        } else {
+            eprintln!("Execution failed: {}", e);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Token Usage Tracking
+
+All LLM responses include token usage information:
+
+```rust
+let result = executor.execute(&agent_def, inputs).await?;
+
+if let Some(tokens) = result.metadata.tokens {
+    println!("Tokens used: {}", tokens);
+}
+
+if let Some(usage) = response.usage {
+    println!("Input tokens: {}", usage.input_tokens);
+    println!("Output tokens: {}", usage.output_tokens);
+    println!("Total tokens: {}", usage.total_tokens);
+}
+```
+
+## Context Injection
+
+Agents can load context from files, URLs, and shell commands before LLM execution:
+
+```markdown
+---
+@agent {
+  role: code reviewer,
+  llm: claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022
+}
+
+@import "./src/**/*.rs" as source_code
+@shell "git diff HEAD~1" as recent_changes
+
+---
+
+Review the following code:
+
+**Source Code:**
+{{ source_code }}
+
+**Recent Changes:**
+{{ recent_changes }}
+
+Provide security and performance analysis.
+```
+
+The executor loads all context before calling the LLM, so the model receives the fully rendered prompt with all imported content.
+
+## Validation
+
+Output validation runs automatically after LLM execution:
+
+```markdown
+---
+@validate output {
+  must_contain: ["Security", "Performance"],
+  format: markdown,
+  min_length: 100
+}
+---
+```
+
+Validation results are included in `ExecutionResult`:
+
+```rust
+if !result.validation_passed {
+    for error in result.validation_errors {
+        eprintln!("Validation error: {}", error);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Cost Optimization
+
+### Use Appropriate Models
+
+- `claude-3-5-haiku-20241022`: Fast, cheap, good for simple tasks
+- `claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022`: Balanced performance and cost
+- `claude-opus-4`: Most capable, highest cost
+
+### Limit Token Usage
+
+```rust
+agent_def.config.max_tokens = 500;  // Limit response length
+```
+
+### Cache Context
+
+The executor supports context caching to avoid re-loading files on each execution (implementation varies by provider).
+
+## Testing Without API Key
+
+Tests that require real LLM execution are marked with `#[ignore]`:
+
+```bash
+# Run only non-LLM tests
+cargo test --package typedialog-ag-core
+
+# Run LLM tests (requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)
+cargo test --package typedialog-ag-core -- --ignored
+```
+
+## Implementation Files
+
+- **Provider Trait**: `src/llm/provider.rs`
+- **Claude Client**: `src/llm/claude.rs`
+- **OpenAI Client**: `src/llm/openai.rs`
+- **Gemini Client**: `src/llm/gemini.rs`
+- **Ollama Client**: `src/llm/ollama.rs`
+- **Executor Integration**: `src/executor/mod.rs`
+- **Example**: `examples/llm_execution.rs`
+- **Multi-Provider Demo**: `examples/provider_comparison.rs`
+- **Tests**: `tests/simple_integration_test.rs`
+
+## Streaming Support
+
+All four providers (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama) support real-time streaming:
+
+```rust
+use typedialog_ag_core::AgentExecutor;
+
+let executor = AgentExecutor::new();
+let result = executor.execute_streaming(&agent_def, inputs, |chunk| {
+    print!("{}", chunk);
+    std::io::stdout().flush().unwrap();
+}).await?;
+
+println!("\n\nFinal output: {}", result.output);
+println!("Tokens: {:?}", result.metadata.tokens);
+```
+
+The CLI automatically uses streaming for real-time token display.
+
+### Token Usage in Streaming
+
+- **Claude**: ✅ Provides token usage in stream (via `message_delta` event)
+- **OpenAI**: ❌ No token usage in stream (API limitation - only in non-streaming mode)
+- **Gemini**: ✅ Provides token usage in stream (via `usageMetadata` in final chunk)
+- **Ollama**: ✅ Provides token usage in stream (via `prompt_eval_count`/`eval_count` in done event)

+# TypeAgent CLI
+
+Command-line interface for executing type-safe AI agents defined in MDX format.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+cargo install --path crates/typedialog-agent/typedialog-ag
+```
+
+Or build from source:
+
+```bash
+cargo build --release --package typedialog-ag
+```
+
+## Setup
+
+Set your API key:
+
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Execute an Agent
+
+Run an agent with interactive prompts for inputs:
+
+```bash
+typeagent agent.mdx
+```
+
+Or use the explicit `run` command:
+
+```bash
+typeagent run agent.mdx
+```
+
+Skip input prompts (use defaults):
+
+```bash
+typeagent agent.mdx --yes
+```
+
+Verbose output (show Nickel code):
+
+```bash
+typeagent agent.mdx --verbose
+```
+
+### Validate an Agent
+
+Check syntax, transpilation, and type checking without executing:
+
+```bash
+typeagent validate agent.mdx
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+✓ Validating agent
+
+✓ MDX syntax valid
+✓ Transpilation successful
+✓ Type checking passed
+✓ Evaluation successful
+
+Agent Summary:
+  Role: creative writer
+  Model: claude-3-5-haiku-20241022
+  Max tokens: 4096
+  Temperature: 0.7
+
+✓ Agent is valid and ready to execute
+```
+
+### Transpile to Nickel
+
+Convert MDX to Nickel configuration code:
+
+```bash
+# Output to stdout
+typeagent transpile agent.mdx
+
+# Save to file
+typeagent transpile agent.mdx -o agent.ncl
+```
+
+Output:
+```nickel
+{
+  config = {
+    role = "creative writer",
+    llm = "claude-3-5-haiku-20241022",
+  },
+  inputs = {},
+  template = "Write a haiku about {{ topic }}.",
+}
+```
+
+## Example Session
+
+### 1. Create an Agent File
+
+Create `haiku.agent.mdx`:
+
+```markdown
+---
+@agent {
+  role: creative writer,
+  llm: claude-3-5-haiku-20241022
+}
+
+@input topic: String
+---
+
+Write a haiku about {{ topic }}. Return only the haiku, nothing else.
+```
+
+### 2. Validate the Agent
+
+```bash
+$ typeagent validate haiku.agent.mdx
+
+✓ Validating agent
+
+✓ MDX syntax valid
+✓ Transpilation successful
+✓ Type checking passed
+✓ Evaluation successful
+
+Agent Summary:
+  Role: creative writer
+  Model: claude-3-5-haiku-20241022
+  Max tokens: 4096
+  Temperature: 0.7
+
+✓ Agent is valid and ready to execute
+```
+
+### 3. Execute the Agent
+
+```bash
+$ typeagent haiku.agent.mdx
+
+🤖 TypeAgent Executor
+
+✓ Parsed agent definition
+✓ Transpiled to Nickel
+✓ Evaluated agent definition
+
+Agent Configuration:
+  Role: creative writer
+  Model: claude-3-5-haiku-20241022
+  Max tokens: 4096
+  Temperature: 0.7
+
+topic (String): programming in Rust
+
+Inputs:
+  topic: "programming in Rust"
+
+⠋ Executing agent with LLM...

+
+Metadata:
+  Duration: 1234ms
+  Tokens: 87
+  Validation: ✓ PASSED
+```
+
+## Agent File Format
+
+### Basic Structure
+
+```markdown
+---
+@agent {
+  role: <role>,
+  llm: <model-name>
+}
+
+@input <name>: <type>
+@input <name>?: <type>  # Optional input
+
+@validate output {
+  must_contain: ["pattern1", "pattern2"],
+  format: markdown
+}
+---
+
+Your template content with {{ variables }}.
+```
+
+### Directives
+
+#### `@agent` (Required)
+
+Defines the agent configuration.
+
+```markdown
+@agent {
+  role: creative writer,
+  llm: claude-3-5-haiku-20241022,
+  tools: []  # Optional
+}
+```
+
+**Supported models:**
+- `claude-3-5-haiku-20241022` - Fast, cheap
+- `claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022` - Balanced
+- `claude-opus-4` - Most capable
+
+#### `@input` (Optional)
+
+Declares inputs that will be prompted to the user.
+
+```markdown
+@input name: String          # Required input
+@input description?: String  # Optional input
+```
+
+#### `@validate` (Optional)
+
+Defines output validation rules.
+
+```markdown
+@validate output {
+  must_contain: ["Security", "Performance"],
+  must_not_contain: ["TODO", "FIXME"],
+  format: markdown,
+  min_length: 100,
+  max_length: 5000
+}
+```
+
+**Supported formats:**
+- `markdown` (default)
+- `json`
+- `yaml`
+- `text`
+
+#### `@import` (Optional)
+
+Import file content into template variables.
+
+```markdown
+@import "./docs/**/*.md" as documentation
+@import "https://example.com/schema.json" as schema
+```
+
+#### `@shell` (Optional)
+
+Execute shell commands and inject output.
+
+```markdown
+@shell "git diff HEAD~1" as recent_changes
+@shell "cargo tree" as dependencies
+```
+
+### Template Syntax
+
+Uses [Tera template engine](https://tera.netlify.app/):
+
+```markdown
+# Variables
+{{ variable_name }}
+
+# Conditionals
+{% if condition %}
+  content
+{% endif %}
+
+# Filters
+{{ name | upper }}
+{{ value | default(value="fallback") }}
+```
+
+## Commands
+
+### `typeagent [FILE]`
+
+Execute an agent (default command).
+
+**Options:**
+- `-y, --yes` - Skip input prompts
+- `-v, --verbose` - Show Nickel code
+- `-h, --help` - Show help
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+typeagent agent.mdx --yes --verbose
+```
+
+### `typeagent run <FILE>`
+
+Explicit execute command (same as default).
+
+**Options:**
+- `-y, --yes` - Skip input prompts
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+typeagent run agent.mdx
+```
+
+### `typeagent validate <FILE>`
+
+Validate agent without execution.
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+typeagent validate agent.mdx
+```
+
+### `typeagent transpile <FILE>`
+
+Transpile MDX to Nickel.
+

+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Required | Description |
+|----------|----------|-------------|
+| `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | Yes | Anthropic API key for Claude models |
+| `RUST_LOG` | No | Logging level (default: `info`) |
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Missing API Key
+
+```
+Error: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable not set
+Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to use Claude models
+```
+
+**Solution:** Export your API key:
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
+```
+
+### Invalid Agent File
+
+```
+Error: Failed to parse agent MDX
+```
+
+**Solution:** Validate your agent file:
+```bash
+typeagent validate agent.mdx
+```
+
+### Validation Failures
+
+```
+Validation: ✗ FAILED
+  - Output must contain: Security
+  - Output too short: 45 chars (minimum: 100)
+```
+
+The agent executed successfully but output validation failed. Adjust your `@validate` rules or improve your prompt.
+
+## Examples
+
+See [`typedialog-ag-core/tests/fixtures/`](../typedialog-ag-core/tests/fixtures/) for example agent files:
+
+- `simple.agent.mdx` - Basic hello world agent
+- `architect.agent.mdx` - Architecture design agent with inputs
+- `code-reviewer.agent.mdx` - Code review agent with shell commands
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Command not found
+
+Make sure the binary is in your PATH:
+
+```bash
+export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"
+```
+
+Or use the full path:
+
+```bash
+./target/release/typeagent
+```
+
+### Permission denied
+
+Make the binary executable:
+
+```bash
+chmod +x ./target/release/typeagent
+```
+
+### Slow compilation
+
+Use release mode for better performance:
+
+```bash
+cargo build --release --package typedialog-ag
+./target/release/typeagent agent.mdx
+```
+
+## Development
+
+Run from source:
+
+```bash
+cargo run --package typedialog-ag -- agent.mdx
+```
+
+Run with logging:
+
+```bash
+RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --package typedialog-ag -- agent.mdx
+```
