Quick start

umbra

That’s it. Running umbra starts the background daemon automatically, opens the TUI, and stops the daemon cleanly when you exit. The agent is ready to work immediately.

Background mode — if you want the daemon to keep running without the TUI open (e.g. for headless task queuing), manage it directly:

umbra daemon start    # start the daemon in the background
umbra daemon stop     # stop it
umbra daemon status   # check health and queue depth
