Perry Coding Agents

Dispatch tasks to OpenCode/Claude Code on Perry workspaces.

Rules

• Always create dex task FIRST — before any dispatch, no exceptions
• No hard timeouts — background dispatch, let agent run
• Use IPs — MagicDNS broken in containers (tailscale status for IPs)
• One task per PR — same session continues until done
• Reuse sessions — OpenCode keeps context in ~/.opencode/
• Never code directly — always dispatch to agents

Commands

# OpenCode (primary)
ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no workspace@<IP> "cd ~/<project> && /home/workspace/.opencode/bin/opencode run 'task'" &

# Claude Code (needs TTY)
ssh -t workspace@<IP> "cd ~/<project> && /home/workspace/.local/bin/claude 'task'"

Dispatch Pattern

WAKE_IP=$(tailscale status --self --json | jq -r '.Self.TailscaleIPs[0]')

ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no workspace@<IP> "cd ~/<project> && /home/workspace/.opencode/bin/opencode run 'Your task.

When done: curl -X POST http://${WAKE_IP}:18789/hooks/wake -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" -H \"Authorization: Bearer <hooks-token>\" -d \"{\\\"text\\\": \\\"Done: summary\\\", \\\"mode\\\": \\\"now\\\"}\"
'" &

Task Tracking

Create task before dispatch with: workspace IP, branch, goal, done criteria. Same task until CI green. Complete with result summary.

Example: Full PR Flow

# 1. Create task
# Track: workspace feat1 (100.109.173.45), branch feat/auth, goal: add auth

# 2. Get wake info
WAKE_IP=$(tailscale status --self --json | jq -r '.Self.TailscaleIPs[0]')

# 3. Dispatch (background, no timeout)
ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no [email protected] "cd ~/perry && /home/workspace/.opencode/bin/opencode run 'Add bearer token auth to all API endpoints. Create PR when done.

When finished: curl -X POST http://${WAKE_IP}:18789/hooks/wake -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" -H \"Authorization: Bearer <token>\" -d \"{\\\"text\\\": \\\"Done: Auth PR created\\\", \\\"mode\\\": \\\"now\\\"}\"
'" &

# 4. Wake received → check CI
ssh [email protected] "cd ~/perry && gh pr checks 145"

# 5. CI fails → dispatch follow-up (same task, agent has context)
ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no [email protected] "cd ~/perry && /home/workspace/.opencode/bin/opencode run 'CI failing: test/auth.test.ts line 42. Fix and push.

When fixed: curl -X POST http://${WAKE_IP}:18789/hooks/wake ...'" &

# 6. CI green → complete task with result

Troubleshooting

• Can't reach: tailscale status | grep <name>
• Commands not found: Use full paths (/home/workspace/.opencode/bin/opencode)
• Wake not firing: Check IP/token, test with curl
