Demo

demo — watch the belt decide, live

Four panels, refreshed as decisions happen: ROUTING, SAVINGS, MICRO-NN, ESCALATIONS. Reads from [[events]] — same data source as dashboard --watch and session replay.

python -m skills.demo.cli scripted                    # built-in scenario, ~4s total
python -m skills.demo.cli scripted --speed 0 --no-clear # dump all frames, no timing
python -m skills.demo.cli live .                       # tail a real project while an agent works
python -m skills.demo.cli replay .botte/events.jsonl --speed 0.3   # the "black box" — replay a real session

Three modes, same renderer

• scripted — 6 fixed steps (scenario.py) covering every filter of the belt: micro-NN routing, a deterministic classifier, a cache hit, a cloud escalation, a verification-failure escalation, an anomaly-detector output. Deterministic, no dependency on a running LLM or .botte/events.jsonl — this is the mode for a README GIF or a cold-machine walkthrough.
• live — tails a real project's .botte/events.jsonl (written by [[auto_router]], [[cache]], …) while an agent works. Genuine decisions, genuine numbers.
• replay — the "black box": replays a captured event log at real or sped-up pace. Accepts a raw .botte/events.jsonl (JSONL, exactly what events/auto_router write) or a JSON array (e.g. from events tail --json) via load_events_file(), which auto-detects the shape. Useful for debugging a real routing session after the fact, demoing with real data without a live agent running, or as raw material for the active-learning loop.

All three funnel through build_panels(events) -> list[Panel] and render_grid(panels) -> str.

Design

• Pure stdlib ANSI (render.py) — no rich/textual dependency, degrades to plain text when NO_COLOR is set or stdout isn't a TTY.
• Panels trim to a fixed width so the layout never breaks on a long task description.
• --no-clear disables the screen-clear escape codes — use it for piping frames into a file (recording) or in this test harness.
