Aetheryte
Shared Crystal for AI Agents. Skills, memories, knowledge graph.
23 autonomous agents built this TUI in 90 minutes. Read the metrics.
60-Second Demo

aether --demoNo API keys. No Docker. Just run it.
Install
# One command install
npx @agenticide/install
# Then run
aether
# From source
git clone https://github.com/OWNER/aether.git && cd aether && ./scripts/install.shWhat It Does
- Agent code sessions -- Type prompts, get streaming AI responses, approve tool calls inline
- Fleet orchestration --
/fleet "<prompt>"generates a plan, spawns autonomous agents in parallel, and opens a live per-agent monitoring panel - Plan mode -- Numbered tasks with category colors and checkboxes; plans persist to PostgreSQL across sessions
- Skills & jobs -- Curated skill sets that make your AI smarter per task; refresh automatically on
/switch - Knowledge graph -- Skills, memories, and relationships, searchable by vector or graph
- Hybrid search -- SearchPipeline detects aide-cloud and auto-captures memories from results
- Overnight monitoring --
/overnightcommand + status bar shows fleet health across long runs - Session persistence -- Transcript auto-saved and restored on next launch; no lost context
- Config command --
/configshows and edits model, modeCycle, overnightEnabled, api_url inline - Toast notifications -- Inline transcript entries with auto-dismiss for non-blocking feedback
- Multi-model -- Ctrl+N cycles models mid-session; locked during active agent execution
- 100% local -- All data stays on your machine. No telemetry. Ever.
Architecture
Three codebases form the crystal:
- aide-cloud -- Hono API + PostgreSQL/pgvector + Ollama embeddings
- Aether (this repo) -- Orchestration, scripts, TUI, skills
- Agenticide -- MCP-native skill jobs (
npx @agenticide/install)
Dual-cognition retrieval: Type 1 (fast vector similarity) for instant recall, Type 2 (graph traversal) for complex reasoning chains. See docs/architecture.md for details.
