atomic-agent
Atomic Agent is a local-first general-purpose agent: the control loop and all state, config, memory, sessions, tasks and traces, stay on your machine. From a terminal TUI it browses the web, reads and edits files, runs approved shell commands, inspects documents, remembers context across sessions and schedules follow-ups. It can run open-weight models locally through the team's TurboQuant llama.cpp build, which is tuned so long sessions with small local models fit in less memory, or call cloud models.
Install is a checksum-verified script on macOS, Linux or Windows that drops the CLI (with an atag alias) and support assets; the agent updates itself in place. On first run it offers to import from another agent, tick the sources it finds and it brings over skills, memory, MCP servers and sessions, and opt-in provider keys, from Claude Code, Codex, Oh-My-Pi, Pi, Hermes or OpenClaw without touching the source. A single uninstall command removes everything after printing what it will delete and asking you to confirm.
This is an early build: the README labels it a developer preview whose APIs, commands, config and behavior are still moving, and suggests pinning a release for a stable integration. Current builds cover Apple Silicon Macs, Linux x64/arm64 and Windows x64; Intel Macs are not supported yet.
