Summary

Craft Agents OSS provides a desktop application for enhanced AI agent interaction, built on Claude Code and Agent Native principles. It targets developers and power users seeking intuitive multitasking, seamless API/service integration, and a document-centric workflow, replacing CLIs with a fluid UI. The tool boosts agent productivity via deep customizability and streamlined workflow management.

How It Works

Leveraging the Claude Agent SDK, the system employs Agent Native principles within a document-centric framework. Its core "Craft MCP" (Multi-Channel Protocol) facilitates intuitive session management, real-time updates, and deep integration with tools/services. This architecture enables highly customizable user experiences, often prompt-driven.

Quick Start & Requirements

Installation: macOS/Linux (curl -fsSL https://agents.craft.do/install-app.sh | bash), Windows PowerShell (powershell irm https://agents.craft.do/install-app.ps1 | iex). Build from source requires Bun runtime (bun install, bun run electron:start). Requires Anthropic API key/Claude Max subscription and configured OAuth credentials for integrations.
