feat(multi-cli): kei run-via <backend> — agents over external LLM CLIs
Adds a uniform launcher that lets any KeiSeiKit agent run on whichever
LLM CLI you have a subscription to. Pick by familiarity, pricing, or
to get a second opinion on the same prompt.

Backends (locally installed, by subscription):
  claude   Claude Code     (claude -p)
  grok     xAI Grok        (grok --print; native --agent supported)
  agy      Antigravity     (agy --print)              alias: antigravity
  copilot  GitHub Copilot  (copilot --prompt)
  kimi     Moonshot Kimi   (stdin, TUI primary)
  codex    OpenAI Codex    (codex -p)                 register-only

Files:
  _primitives/cli-backends.toml         SSoT backend table
  scripts/kei-agent-cli.sh              launcher; loads ~/.claude/agents/<n>.md,
                                        strips frontmatter, composes with task,
                                        execs backend non-interactive
  bin/kei                               new arm: run-via | via | run | agent-via
  docs/encyclopedia/multi-cli-agents.md user-facing docs + usage

Auto-installed via lib-scaffold.sh:77 glob (no install code change needed).

Test plan:
  kei run-via list                                 # status + agents
  kei run-via grok critic "review src/auth.rs"     # via Grok
  kei run-via agy critic "review src/auth.rs"      # via Antigravity
  kei run-via copilot critic "review src/auth.rs"  # via Copilot
  KEI_NATIVE_AGENT=1 kei run-via grok critic "..."  # native --agent

# Multi-CLI agent invocation
> *Cross-LLM agent execution. Same agent definition, different backend.*
KeiSeiKit agents are markdown files. Any LLM CLI that takes a prompt can
host them — `kei run-via` is the launcher that bridges them.
## Backends
Registered in `_primitives/cli-backends.toml` (SSoT). Installed locally
via your own subscription / package manager:
| Backend | CLI binary | Non-interactive flag | Native `--agent` | Notes |
|----------|-----------|----------------------|------------------|-------|
| claude | `claude` | `-p` | yes | Claude Code (Anthropic) |
| grok | `grok` | `--print` | yes | xAI Grok Build TUI |
| agy | `agy` | `--print` | no | Google Antigravity (alias: `antigravity`) |
| copilot | `copilot` | `--prompt` | no | GitHub Copilot CLI (`@github/copilot`) |
| kimi | `kimi` | stdin | no | Moonshot Kimi (primarily TUI/ACP) |
| codex | `codex` | `-p` | no | OpenAI Codex (register-only) |
Run `kei run-via list` to see which are installed on the current machine
and to list available agent names.
## Usage
```bash
# Invoke the 'critic' agent through Grok with a task:
kei run-via grok critic "review src/auth.rs for variant analysis"
# Same agent, different backend:
kei run-via agy critic "review src/auth.rs"
kei run-via copilot critic "review src/auth.rs"
kei run-via claude critic "review src/auth.rs"
# Point at an arbitrary agent .md (not in ~/.claude/agents/):
kei run-via grok --file=/tmp/my-agent.md "do the thing"
# Backend's native --agent flag (grok/claude only):
KEI_NATIVE_AGENT=1 kei run-via grok critic "review src/auth.rs"
```
## How it works
1. Reads `~/.claude/agents/<agent-name>.md` (assembler-generated prompt).
2. Strips YAML frontmatter.
3. Composes with task as: `<agent prompt>\n\n---\n\nTASK FOR THIS RUN:\n<task>`.
4. Execs the backend's non-interactive CLI with the composed prompt.
No agent file is modified. No new tokens are issued. Subscription
authentication is whatever each CLI uses (its own login / config dir).
## When to use each
This is a tool, not a recommendation. Each backend has different
strengths; the substrate is agnostic about which you pick. Pick by:
- **Familiarity** — the CLI you already use day-to-day.
- **Subscription cost** — burn the one with cheaper marginal cost first.
- **Specific feature** — e.g. `grok --agent` for native sub-agent
switching mid-conversation; `agy --sandbox` for terminal restriction.
- **Independent second opinion** — same agent, different model, see if
conclusions diverge.
## Adding a new backend
1. Add a `[backend.<name>]` table to `_primitives/cli-backends.toml`.
2. Add a case arm in `scripts/kei-agent-cli.sh` `backend_bin()` and
`backend_invoke()` for the new CLI's print-flag.
3. Add a row to the table above.
## What it is NOT
- Not a router — picks no backend for you; you ask, it dispatches.
- Not a federation — each backend runs independently with its own
context; there is no cross-backend state.
- Not a wrapper around the backend's tool surface — what the CLI can
do (Bash, file edits, MCP, etc.) is determined by that CLI, not
KeiSeiKit. The substrate only ships the prompt.
