+Bring the agents you want to run. `agentd` wraps the CLIs already on your

+- **Codex** — install the `codex` CLI and complete its OAuth login.
+- **Claude Code** — install the `claude` CLI and complete its OAuth login.
+- **Antigravity** — install the `agy` CLI and complete its OAuth login.
+- **Zarvis** — built in to agentd. Today it uses Codex CLI OAuth for OpenAI GPT
+  models, or a local Ollama install for local models.
+
+Once those CLIs are available and authenticated, `agentd` can create and resume
+their sessions from the fleet TUI.

 Happy hacking. Chase the dream idea from your terminal: ask Codex, Claude Code,
