source content

eliza app development

This repository is an elizaOS application: a local-first assistant with CLI, dashboard, Electrobun desktop shell, connectors, and Eliza Cloud integration. Eliza is this app’s product and CLI name—not a separate platform from elizaOS.

Read These References First

for runtime flow, onboarding, service routing, skills, and Eliza Cloud behavior

Editing Heuristics

Prefer
```
packages/app-core/
```
for app shell behavior (API, CLI, onboarding, config).
Prefer
```
packages/agent/
```
for agent providers, services, and runtime glue around elizaOS.
Prefer
```
apps/app/
```
for UI and Electrobun work.
Treat
```
eliza/cloud/
```
as the Eliza Cloud product and backend surface.
Treat
```
eliza/
```
as upstream elizaOS. Edit it only when the bug or feature is genuinely upstream.

Hard Constraints

Do not remove
```
NODE_PATH
```
setup.
Do not remove the Bun exports patch.
Do not remove Electrobun startup error guards.
Keep Node and Bun paths working.

Repo Workflow

bun install
bun run verify
bun run test

Narrower commands when useful:

Eliza Cloud backend or monetization:

skill

Cloud Default

If the task involves building an app and Eliza Cloud is enabled, linked, or explicitly requested, treat Cloud as the default managed backend before inventing custom auth, billing, analytics, or hosting. Use the

eliza-cloud

skill for app, monetization, and container details.
