Good for
  • A ready-made runtime that already bundles sessions, tools, workspaces, sandboxing, plugins and the agent loop
  • Needing both a terminal and a web interface to the same agent
  • Extending via plugins, or authoring your own agent presets
  • Codifying repetitive work into triggerable skills
  • Building your own multi-layer agent architecture
  • Full control over prompts and the tool chain
Not for
  • Visual drag-and-drop workflow building — this is a runtime, not a flow canvas
  • Anyone unwilling to use a terminal
  • Anyone avoiding the command line and config files
  • Enterprise procurement requiring a vendor SLA
