Local-first Runtime
All agents execute natively on your machine. Your codebase, commands, and runtime boundaries stay entirely in your control.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Caelis treats ACP as an open bridge between agent runtimes, fostering seamless context handoffs in your terminal rather than locking intelligence into isolated chat UIs.
All agents execute natively on your machine. Your codebase, commands, and runtime boundaries stay entirely in your control.
Connect and orchestrate different ACP-compatible agents in one session. Expand your workspace without closed platform silos.
Run agents safely inside custom sandboxes. Strict permissions and manual approval workflows prevent malicious shell commands.
Consistently run Caelis runtime and sessions across macOS, Linux, and Windows environments.
Reuse your existing skills, plugins, MCP servers, and ACP clients. Migrate tools with zero vendor lock-in.
Licensed under Apache-2.0. Standardize agent orchestration with an active, extensible community runtime.
FAQ
Caelis is an open-source, local-first runtime for AI agents. It manages local workspaces, session context, tool execution, and permission boundaries, and can connect compatible agents and clients via ACP.
Yes. Caelis includes a built-in local Agent Runtime and does not require third-party clients to execute command tasks via TUI or Headless CLI.
No. Caelis runs local agents independently out of the box. ACP is primarily used to connect compatible external agents, editors, or clients to share a unified workspace and context.
Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode are excellent agents. Caelis focuses on the runtime layer: managing workspaces, context sharing, sandbox isolation, permission prompts, and multi-agent coordination. Instead of replacing any specific agent, Caelis enables them to collaborate in a single secure environment.
Yes. Caelis reuses community capabilities rather than inventing closed ecosystems. You can connect MCP servers, call Skills, and utilize existing plugin marketplaces or tool extensions to migrate your workflows with low friction.
Yes. Caelis is local-first. Your local workspaces, session transcripts, execution histories, and runtime configurations are stored on your machine. External model APIs are called only during inference depending on your model choices.
Caelis runs agents in sandboxed environments by default and uses Guardian for automated tool review. Low-risk operations execute automatically, while actions requiring host access or exceeding sandbox boundaries trigger privilege prompts. Developers can also toggle optional manual approval workflows.
Yes. Caelis supports macOS, Linux, and Windows. Depending on your platform, you can install Caelis via shell script, PowerShell, or global npm package.
Yes. Caelis is open source and licensed under the Apache-2.0 License. Code is hosted on GitHub, and we welcome issue reports, pull requests, and ecosystem contributions.
Yes. Caelis currently supports TUI, Headless CLI, and ACP Runtime. Native GUI is on our active roadmap and will connect as a new interface to the same local runtime, rather than being a separate product.
