NeoAgent

Operations

Service State

neoagent status      # install root, config path, runtime paths, release channel, service state
neoagent logs        # first stop for unexpected behavior in UI, messaging, OAuth, or tasks
neoagent restart

Release Channels

neoagent channel           # show current channel
neoagent channel stable    # switch to stable releases (recommended for most installs)
neoagent channel beta      # switch to prerelease builds

Updates

neoagent update

Follows the configured release channel. On git installs, pulls the latest source and reinstalls dependencies when they change. On npm installs, reinstalls the global package from the matching npm tag. Verifies the bundled web client and restarts the service.

Recovery

neoagent fix

Use when NeoAgent is in a broken state after a self-edit or corrupted install. On git installs: backs up runtime data, saves local tracked changes, resets source files, reinstalls dependencies, and restarts.

For configuration-only issues:

neoagent setup
neoagent restart

Troubleshooting

Symptom First step
Service won’t start neoagent logs — look for startup errors
UI loads but agent doesn’t respond Confirm an AI provider key is set in Settings → AI Providers
OAuth integration fails Confirm PUBLIC_URL is reachable and the redirect URI matches
Messaging not delivering Check credentials in the messaging tab; confirm PUBLIC_URL for webhook-based platforms
Tasks not running Confirm the task is enabled; check Runs and Logs for error output
Broken after update neoagent fix — resets source, reinstalls, restarts

Runtime Data

Path Contents
~/.neoagent/.env Server config and secrets
~/.neoagent/data/ Database, session data, logs, update status
~/.neoagent/agent-data/ Skills, memory, daily data

Back up these paths before moving a server or doing manual repairs.
