Voice transcript ingestion
Capture speech via Agent Wispr, classify intent, and route transcripts directly into the terminal session without breaking flow.
OSS voice-to-agent developer terminal
Capture voice, classify intent, enrich with semantic memory, and launch bounded coding tasks — all from a single desktop terminal built for AI-native development.
OSS desktop app, optimized for solo developers using voice + local AI in daily coding sessions.
# 1. clone and start git clone https://github.com/joshl26/agentterminal npm install && npm run tauri dev # 2. open Composer tab, type your goal # Brain recall enriches context automatically # 3. pre-send guard validates the request # then routes to Agent Harness workers # 4. check Runs tab for live status
What it does
Agent Terminal is the interface layer between your intent and your AI stack. It captures voice, enriches with Brain memory, runs the pre-send guard, and delegates bounded tasks to Harness workers — all from one desktop application you actually keep open.
Capture speech via Agent Wispr, classify intent, and route transcripts directly into the terminal session without breaking flow.
Recall relevant project context from Agent Brain before each session — facts, decisions, and prior work surface automatically.
Compose a goal in the terminal, run the pre-send guard, and delegate bounded coding tasks directly to Agent Harness workers.
Every session and turn is persisted to a local SQLite database. Browse and replay past sessions from the History tab.
Runs as a first-class desktop application on Windows (WSL2), macOS, and Linux — not a browser tab.
A pure, side-effect-free guard evaluates every outgoing message before dispatch — blocking risky or malformed requests before they leave.
How it works
Use Agent Wispr to capture voice transcripts, or type directly in the Composer tab. The terminal classifies intent and prepares context.
Agent Brain recalls relevant project facts, prior decisions, and session history. The enriched context is attached before any task is launched.
Every outgoing message passes through a pure guard function that validates scope, detects risky patterns, and blocks malformed requests.
Bounded coding tasks are dispatched to Agent Harness workers. Live run status appears in the Runs tab with full attempt history.
First-run shape
Start with `npm run tauri dev`, open the Composer tab, type a goal. Brain recall and Harness delegation are available immediately — add Wispr voice input only when you want hands-free operation.
Positioning

Current product path
The roadmap prioritizes reliable daily usage for solo developers before any shared-session or multi-user story.
OSS Desktop
Fully working today. Voice ingestion, semantic memory, Harness task launch, and 5-tab desktop UI on Tauri.
Power User
Wispr → Terminal toggle and deeper Brain context integration for daily voice-driven coding sessions.
Team-Ready Later
Shared session history, multi-user Brain workspaces, and remote Harness controller pairing — after the solo path is locked in.
FAQ
Yes. The current product direction is standalone OSS first, with a Tauri desktop build as the canonical supported path.
It bridges voice input, semantic memory, and AI task delegation into one desktop terminal — so you can speak a goal and have it routed to the right tool without leaving your workflow.
No, but the terminal is designed to work best with both. Brain provides memory enrichment; Harness handles bounded task execution. Each is independently optional.
Clone the repo, run `npm install && npm run tauri dev`, open the Composer tab, and type a goal. Check the Runs tab to see the Harness response.
No. Agent Wispr is an optional integration. You can type directly in the Composer tab and get the full memory-enriched, guard-protected, Harness-delegated flow.
Use the install guide and quickstart docs. They walk through the Tauri build, first session, and Harness pairing in under 15 minutes.
Clone the repo, build the Tauri shell, type a goal in the Composer tab, and see the pre-send guard and Harness delegation in action.
