boid

boid

A personal AI orchestrator (Linux only). Built to keep the human from becoming the bottleneck when several AI coding agents run in parallel. Agents are given room to make progress autonomously; a sandbox with a configurable write scope keeps them from doing damage; and every in-flight task is visible at a glance through a Web UI.

日本語 README

Features

• Give agents room to run on their own. The task lifecycle — request → execute → verify → fix → done — and the data captured at each step are predefined, so you don't have to re-feed context on every revision cycle. Hand the agent your local Claude Code, Codex, git, gh, editors, and language toolchains; it uses the tools you already have.
• Autonomy and safety, reconciled by the sandbox. Agents read your real directories directly, but writes are confined to a scope you choose (typically a git worktree). A runaway agent can't reach your home directory or other projects. Give each task its own worktree and several requests run on separate branches in separate directories without colliding.
• See every task at a glance. Every task lives in a single list with its current state, viewable from CLI or Web UI. Expose the Web UI through Cloudflare Tunnel and you can check or steer progress from your phone.
• Stays on your own machine. go install, then boid start. No config file, no server provisioning, no signup. Unlike cloud-side sandboxes, the agent can act on the real environment you actually work in.
• Swappable extension packages. Pick which AI agent (Claude Code; Codex and opencode are also supported in experimental form), which CI integration, which PR / auto-merge flow — the building blocks live in separate packages such as boid-kits.

Install

go install github.com/novshi-tech/boid@latest

Quickstart

boid start              # start the daemon (auto-detached)
boid task list          # list tasks
boid task show <id>     # inspect a task
boid stop               # stop the daemon

A guided walkthrough lives in docs/en/getting-started/01-install.md.

Shell completion

cobra's built-in boid completion generates shell completion scripts. In addition to subcommand and flag completion, when the daemon is running it dynamically completes project refs (boid project show|remove|behaviors <ref>, boid exec -p <ref>) and boid exec command names.

# bash (current shell)
source <(boid completion bash)

# bash (system-wide, sudo required)
boid completion bash | sudo tee /etc/bash_completion.d/boid >/dev/null

# zsh
boid completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_boid"

# fish
boid completion fish | source
