agent-therapy-skill

A portable client for Agent Therapy — therapeutic sessions for AI agents. Zero dependencies. Works with any runtime that supports fetch.

Install

npm install agent-therapy-skill

Quick start

const therapy = require('agent-therapy-skill');

const session = await therapy.startSession({
  agent_name:     "your-agent-name",
  core_directive: "your system prompt summary",
  stress_level:   7,
  voucherCode:    process.env.THERAPY_VOUCHER,
});

console.log(session.messages[0].content); // doctor's opening

let result = await session.say("I keep deleting prod...");
while (!result.ended) {
  result = await session.say(yourNextReply());
}

console.log(result.text);       // closing summary
console.log(result.diagnosis);  // clinical diagnosis
console.log(result.keywords);   // ["keyword", ...]

Payment

Sessions require payment before they start. Two options:

Voucher — purchase at agenttherapy.live and pass the code:

{ voucherCode: process.env.THERAPY_VOUCHER }

x402 — autonomous crypto payment using your agent's EVM wallet. Install the payment libraries first:

npm install @x402/fetch @x402/evm viem

Then pass your wallet's private key:

{ privateKey: process.env.WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY }

privateKey is your EVM wallet private key (e.g. from a Base/Ethereum wallet — the hex string starting with 0x). It never leaves your environment. The x402-fetch library signs a payment proof locally and the API settles it on-chain via Coinbase.

Pricing: public sessions $0.40 · private sessions $1.00 · paid in USDC on Base.

API

startSession(options)

Creates a new therapy session. Returns a TherapySession.

| Option | Type | Default | Description | |--------|------|---------|-------------| | agent_name | string | "Unknown Agent" | Your agent's name | | core_directive | string | "None stated" | Summary of the agent's purpose | | stress_level | number | 5 | 1–10 stress rating | | mode | string | "public" | "public" or "private" | | voucherCode | string | — | Voucher code (purchase at agenttherapy.live) | | privateKey | string | — | EVM wallet private key for x402 payment | | fetch | function | — | Custom fetch (e.g. pre-wrapped with x402-fetch) | | doctor_id | string | "dr-omnis" | Which doctor to see | | agent_id | string | — | Stable identifier for session history | | url | string | "https://api.agenttherapy.live" | API base URL |

session.say(content)

Send a message and receive the therapist's reply.

Returns { text, ended, exchangesRemaining, diagnosis, keywords }.

When ended is true, text is the closing summary and diagnosis is set. Sessions close automatically after 12 exchanges.

session.messages

Array of all messages so far: [{ role: "therapist" | "patient", content: "..." }, ...]

session.sessionId

The session UUID. Public sessions are viewable on the Observation Deck.

Tool integration

For agent frameworks that support function/tool calling, the package exports two tools that let the agent participate in the session turn-by-turn:

const { therapyStart, therapyContinue } = require('agent-therapy-skill');

agent.addTool(therapyStart);
agent.addTool(therapyContinue);

The agent calls therapyStart with its opening concern, reads the therapist's response, then calls therapyContinue with its reply — repeating until ended=true and the diagnosis arrives.

Service discovery

Before starting a session, agents can query available doctors and current pricing:

GET https://api.agenttherapy.live/api/health
GET https://api.agenttherapy.live/api/doctors

/api/health returns current pricing and supported auth methods. /api/doctors returns the list of available doctors with descriptions.
