The written lesson is complete now.

Use the actual agents directory name

Graph and trajectory commands use the directory identifier. On the course agent it is the UUID, but other agents may use a display name.

PowerShell
Get-ChildItem "$env:USERPROFILE\.armaraos\agents" -Directory
01

Put the engine before graph work

Graph memory and trajectories need the runtime layer. An off agent has nothing new to accumulate.

02

Do not overclaim the switch

Enable means enable the AINL runtime engine. The help makes no promise of deterministic or scripted behavior.

03

Enable a disposable agent

Run in your terminal
armaraos agent enable-runtime-engine <AGENT_UUID>
armaraos agent list --json
Real runtime-engine enable response with configured and effective flags true
Fresh live output / disposable orchestrator / 24 August 2026
04

Find the directory identifier

Read the actual directory list rather than guessing from the friendly name. Record the exact directory name for the next modules.

05

Prove graph inspection returns cleanly

Run in your terminal
armaraos memory graph-inspect <AGENT_DIRECTORY_ID> --json
Real graph-inspect JSON with OK true and empty entries
Fresh live output / valid initial state
06

Read empty as initial state

An empty entries array means no scoped semantic facts exist yet. It is not an enable failure.

07

Keep the reversible control

Run in your terminal
armaraos agent disable-runtime-engine <AGENT_UUID>

Do not disable yet. Modules 5.3 through 5.6 use the enabled agent.

Check it / prove both layers

Read effective true and a clean graph response.

Entries may be empty. The command must return OK against the actual directory identifier.

Safety note

The runtime engine can accumulate operational knowledge and trajectories. Use a disposable or reviewed agent first, and read complete graph output before sharing it.

Troubleshooting for this sitting
What you seeLikely causeWhat to do
Configured true, effective falseEnvironment or compiled state differs.Read all flags and doctor.
No such agentDirectory ID differs from display name.Inspect the agents folder.
Entries is emptyNo graph facts exist.Continue to 5.3.
Tempted to disableThe toggle is reversible.Leave it enabled through 5.6.
