Who it is forA creator or developer who runs more than one bot persona and wants them kept apart.
The problemMixing several personas in one configuration makes settings, endpoints and runtime state hard to keep separate.
The outcomeTwo or more isolated deployments inside deployments/, each starting on its own with its own endpoints and settings.
What you need first
- Node 22+
- A model endpoint that supports the Responses protocol, or a local llama-server runtime
- git, to clone the Cortina workspace for extension work
- A coding agent, for the Cortina extension workflow
Steps
- Run
pnpm start --new. - Pick a bot package, a directory name and a display name for the new deployment.
- Let the new deployment start, then configure its endpoints from the WebUI.
- Start a specific deployment by name with
pnpm start secondor the name you chose.
Prompt for your agent
In the Cortico repo at <path>, create a new deployment with `pnpm start --new` and then start it by name. Expected output: a second deployment directory under deployments/ that starts separately. Verify that the first deployment is unchanged after the second one is configured.
Caveat. The README says each deployment is an isolated configuration directory, but you still need a separate model endpoint or shared endpoint settings for each persona.
