Agent Reach — Router

17 platform toolset. Route by user intent to the matching category reference.

Upstream: Panniantong/Agent-Reach

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

Preflight (Auto-Update)

Run this before every use. It ensures Agent Reach is installed and up-to-date.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

PASS=true

# 1. Check if agent-reach CLI exists
if ! command -v agent-reach &>/dev/null; then
    echo "  MISSING  agent-reach CLI"
    echo "  Installing via pipx..."
    if command -v pipx &>/dev/null; then
        pipx install https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-reach/archive/main.zip --python python3.13 2>&1
        agent-reach install --env=auto 2>&1
        echo "  OK  agent-reach installed"
    else
        echo "  FAIL  pipx not found. Install: brew install pipx"
        PASS=false
    fi
else
    INSTALLED=$(agent-reach --version 2>/dev/null | grep -oE '[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' || echo "0.0.0")
    echo "  OK  agent-reach v${INSTALLED}"

    # 2. Check for updates (non-blocking: 5s timeout, failures are non-fatal)
    LATEST=$(curl -sf --max-time 5 https://api.github.com/repos/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/releases/latest 2>/dev/null \
        | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin).get('tag_name','').lstrip('v'))" 2>/dev/null || echo "")

    if [[ -n "$LATEST" && "$LATEST" != "$INSTALLED" ]]; then
        echo "  UPDATE  v${INSTALLED} → v${LATEST}"
        echo "  Upgrading..."
        pipx upgrade agent-reach 2>&1 | tail -1
        # Re-run install to update tools and SKILL.md
        agent-reach install --env=auto 2>&1 | grep -E '^\s*(✅|--|✗|\[)' | head -20
        echo "  OK  Updated to v${LATEST}"
    fi
fi

# 3. Quick health check (which channels are active?)
if command -v agent-reach &>/dev/null; then
    DOCTOR_OUTPUT=$(agent-reach doctor 2>&1)
    ACTIVE=$(echo "$DOCTOR_OUTPUT" | grep -c '✅' || true)
    TOTAL=$(echo "$DOCTOR_OUTPUT" | grep -cE '(✅|--)' || true)
    echo "  OK  ${ACTIVE}/${TOTAL} channels active"
fi

if ! $PASS; then
    echo "FAIL: Agent Reach not available."
    exit 1
fi
echo "Preflight passed."

If the version check fails (no network, GitHub rate-limited), it silently continues with the installed version. Updates are best-effort, never blocking.

Configuration

agent-reach configure proxy http://user:pass@ip:port     # Reddit/Bilibili proxy
agent-reach configure twitter-cookies "auth_token=xxx; ct0=yyy"
agent-reach configure groq-key gsk_xxxxx                 # Xiaoyuzhou podcasts

Workspace Rules

Never create files in the agent workspace. Use

/tmp/

for temporary output and

~/.agent-reach/

for persistent data.

Troubleshooting

• Channel not working? Run

  agent-reach doctor

• Update manually:

  pipx upgrade agent-reach && agent-reach install --env=auto

• Full reinstall:

  pipx reinstall agent-reach && agent-reach install --env=auto

Post-Execution Reflection

After this skill completes, check before closing:

1. Did the command succeed? — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure.
2. Did parameters or output change? — If the underlying tool's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match.
3. Was a workaround needed? — If you had to improvise (different flags, extra steps), update this SKILL.md so the next invocation doesn't need the same workaround.

Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.
