agentwire-desktop-ui

Design guidance for the desktop portal interface used to manage agentwire sessions and related services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or changing the portal sidebar, session windows, service lists, artifact windows, scheduler views, or related desktop UI.
Why use it?
It provides consistent rules for navigation, window handling, keyboard use, session grouping, and saved interface state.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agentwire-desktop-ui scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Portal Desktop UI Patterns

The portal uses a left sidebar with a floating tab handle instead of hover hotzone. A small tab (›) peeks from the left edge — click to slide sidebar open, click again to close. Click outside or press Escape to dismiss. Pin to keep visible (reflows desktop area).

Structure:

  • Tab handle: floating 20×40px button on left edge, rides sidebar when open, chevron flips direction
  • Header: connection status dot, session count, clock, pin toggle
  • Open Windows section: lists currently-open windows (drag to reorder, click to focus, × to close). Persisted in localStorage['taskbar-state'] — restores on refresh.
  • Accordion sections: Sessions, Services, Machines, Projects, Artifacts, Scheduler, Safety, Config. Click header to expand/collapse. Data fetched on first expand.
  • Footer: global PTT button, voice indicator

Session grouping: Sessions are split into two accordion sections based on the name:

  • Services: infrastructure sessions. The built-in allowlist in service-classification.js (agentwire-portal, agentwire-tts, agentwire-stt, agentwire-scheduler, agentwire-notifications) is merged at load time with config-defined custom services fetched from /api/services/custom (driven by services.custom in config.yaml). When the fetch resolves, notifyListeners() re-renders so flagged sessions hop into this column.
  • Sessions: everything else (working sessions, worktrees, remote sessions)

Both share session data from sessions-section.js (single fetch, shared activity state, pub-sub via onSessionsChanged).

Keyboard: Alt+] cycles forward through open windows, Alt+[ cycles backward — works everywhere including inside terminals (captured on window in capture phase before xterm, detected via e.code bracket keys). Tab and Shift+Tab are NEVER intercepted by the desktop; they always pass through to the focused terminal (Claude Code uses Tab for completion and Shift+Tab for permission modes — #659/#696).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

agentwire-desktop-ui is a skill published in the GitHub repository dotdevdotdev/agentwire-dev (21 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 152 tokens to every session and 2,773 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
