replicas-agent is the operating guide for a background coding agent running inside a Replicas cloud workspace (a remote VM). It covers exposing local services as public preview URLs, messaging and file operations on Slack, issue and comment workflows on Linear and GitHub, creating and editing Google Docs/Sheets/Forms, managing Docker containers and the daemon, sharing screenshots, recordings, diagrams, and audio inline in Replicas chat, and managing automations, environment variables, repos, and replicas.json via the pre-installed replicas CLI.

Integration with CorpusIQ¶
CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.
This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.
Limitations / Verification¶
- Scoped to Replicas cloud workspaces - outside that environment it is a pattern reference
- Requires a Replicas account and workspace
npx skills add replicas-group/skill --skill replicas-agent # verify install works
