# Actor CLI Reference
The `agents actor` command group manages actor configurations for the
CleverAgents v3 actor system.
## Commands
| Command | Description |
|--------------------------|----------------------------------------------|
| `agents actor add` | Add actor from YAML/JSON config file |
| `agents actor update` | Update an existing actor |
| `agents actor remove` | Remove a custom actor by namespaced name |
| `agents actor list` | List all registered actors |
| `agents actor show` | Show actor details |
| `agents actor set-default` | Set the default actor |
| `agents actor run` | Run the reactive network with actor configs |
## Namespaced Names
Actor names follow the `[[server:]namespace/]name` format. When no
namespace is provided, the name defaults to `local/`. Built-in actors
use `<provider>/<model>` (e.g. `openai/gpt-4`).
## `agents actor add`
Add a new actor from a YAML or JSON configuration file.
### Synopsis
```bash
agents actor add <NAME> --config <FILE> [--update] [--unsafe] [--set-default] [--option key=value] [--format FORMAT]
```
### YAML Configuration File
```yaml
provider: openai
model: gpt-4
temperature: 0.7
max_tokens: 1024
options:
stream: true
```
### Examples
```bash
# Add an actor from YAML config
agents actor add local/my-actor --config ./actors/my-actor.yaml
# Add or update an existing actor
agents actor add local/my-actor --config ./actors/my-actor.yaml --update
# Add with option overrides
agents actor add local/my-actor --config actor.yaml --option temperature=0.9
# Add with JSON output
agents actor add local/my-actor --config actor.yaml --format json
```
## `agents actor update`
Update an existing actor configuration.
### Synopsis
```bash
agents actor update <NAME> [--config <FILE>] [--unsafe|--safe] [--set-default] [--option key=value] [--format FORMAT]
```
### Examples
```bash
# Update actor with new config
agents actor update local/my-actor --config ./actors/updated.yaml
# Mark actor as safe
agents actor update local/my-actor --safe
# Update with JSON output
agents actor update local/my-actor --format json
```
## `agents actor remove`
Remove a custom actor by its namespaced name.
### Synopsis
```bash
agents actor remove <NAME>
```
### Rich Output Panels
After removal, the `rich` format renders three panels:
- **Actor Removed** — name, provider, and model of the removed actor.
- **Impact** — number of sessions, active plans, and actions that referenced the actor.
- **Cleanup** — config retention status and number of orphaned contexts.
Followed by a `✓ OK Actor removed` success message.
### Examples
```bash
agents actor remove local/my-actor
```
## `agents actor list`
List all registered actors.
### Synopsis
```bash
agents actor list [--format FORMAT]
```
### Output Formats
| Format | Description |
|---------|--------------------------------------|
| `rich` | Rich table with colours (default) |
| `json` | JSON array of actor objects |
| `yaml` | YAML list of actor objects |
| `plain` | Plain text key-value pairs |
| `table` | ASCII table without Rich styling |
### Rich Output
The `rich` format renders a table with columns: **Name**, **Provider**, **Model**,
**Default**, **Built-in**, **Unsafe**, and **Updated**. After the table, a **Summary**
panel is shown with:
| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| Total | Total number of actors |
| Built-in | Count of built-in actors |
| Custom | Count of custom actors |
| Unsafe | Count of actors marked unsafe |
| Providers Used | Number of distinct providers |
Followed by a `✓ OK N actors listed` success message.
### Examples
```bash
# Default rich table
agents actor list
# JSON output for scripting
agents actor list --format json
# YAML output
agents actor list --format yaml
```
## `agents actor show`
Show details for a specific actor.
### Synopsis
```bash
agents actor show <NAME> [--format FORMAT]
```
### Examples
```bash
# Rich panel (default)
agents actor show local/my-actor
# JSON output
agents actor show local/my-actor --format json
# YAML output
agents actor show openai/gpt-4 --format yaml
```
## `agents actor set-default`
Set the default actor used when no actor is specified.
### Synopsis
```bash
agents actor set-default <NAME>
```
### Examples
```bash
agents actor set-default openai/gpt-4
```
## Error Handling
| Error | Cause |
|----------------------------|------------------------------------------|
| `Config file not found` | Specified config file doesn't exist |
| `Config must be a JSON/YAML object` | Config file is not a valid object |
| `Config file is required` | No `--config` flag provided for `add` |
| `Actor config is marked unsafe` | Unsafe config without `--unsafe` flag |
| `Actor not found` | Named actor doesn't exist |
