# Shannon

[English](./README.md) | [中文](./README.zh.md)

This service deploys [Shannon](https://github.com/Kocoro-lab/Shannon), a production-oriented multi-agent orchestration framework. Shannon provides time-travel debugging via Temporal workflows, hard token budgets per task/agent, real-time observability dashboards, WASI sandbox for secure code execution, OPA policy governance, and multi-tenant isolation — all with native support for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, and local models.

> **Note:** The `agent-core` service is only built for `linux/amd64`. On Apple Silicon (ARM64), Docker Desktop uses Rosetta emulation automatically.

## Services

- **gateway**: HTTP API gateway — primary entry point for all client requests (port `8080`)
- **orchestrator**: Core workflow orchestration engine powered by Temporal
- **llm-service**: LLM provider abstraction with model routing, fallback, and budget control
- **agent-core**: Rust-based agent execution runtime with WASI sandbox support
- **postgres**: PostgreSQL with pgvector extension for state and vector storage
- **redis**: Redis for caching, job queues, and rate limiting
- **qdrant**: Qdrant vector database for semantic memory
- **temporal**: Temporal workflow engine for durable, fault-tolerant task execution
- **temporal-ui**: Temporal Web UI for workflow debugging (enabled via `metrics` profile)

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites

- Docker & Docker Compose v2
- `curl` (for the setup script)
- At least one LLM API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.)

### 1. Run Setup

```bash
make setup
```

This downloads the required `config/models.yaml` and `config/features.yaml` from the Shannon repository and creates a local `.env` file.

### 2. Add Your LLM API Key

Edit `.env` and set at least one LLM provider key:

```env
# Choose at least one:
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
```

Also update `JWT_SECRET` and set `GATEWAY_SKIP_AUTH=0` for production deployments.

### 3. Start Services

```bash
make up
```

Access the Shannon API at `http://localhost:8080`.

### 4. (Optional) Enable Temporal UI Dashboard

To also start the Temporal workflow debugging UI:

```bash
make up-monitoring
```

Access Temporal UI at `http://localhost:8088`.

## Security Notes

- By default, `GATEWAY_SKIP_AUTH=1` disables JWT authentication for easy local development.
- **For production**, set `GATEWAY_SKIP_AUTH=0` and use a strong `JWT_SECRET`.
- Passwords in `.env.example` are for local development only — always change them before deploying to a shared or public environment.

## Configuration Files

Shannon uses YAML configuration files under `./config/`:

- `config/models.yaml` — LLM providers, model tiers, pricing, and routing rules
- `config/features.yaml` — Feature flags, execution modes, and workflow settings

These are downloaded from the official Shannon repository by `make setup` and can be customized as needed.
