IPC Transport
The CLI communicates with the daemon over a local IPC channel. This happens
automatically — every stackie command is sent to the daemon and the response
is streamed back. The dashboard and AI agents use HTTP instead.
Platform Support
| Platform | Transport | Default Endpoint |
|---|---|---|
| macOS / Linux | Unix domain socket | ~/.stackie/stackied.sock |
| Windows | Named pipe | \\.\pipe\stackie_daemon |
Overriding the Endpoint
Set the STACKIE_SOCKET environment variable to use a custom endpoint path:
export STACKIE_SOCKET=/tmp/my-stackie.sock
stackie daemon status
