create-walle

Set up CTM + Wall-E in one command — a browser-based dashboard for AI coding agents paired with a personal AI agent that builds a searchable second brain from your work life.

What You Get

CTM (Coding Task Manager)

A web dashboard for running and managing AI coding sessions across multiple providers.

• Terminal Multiplexer — Run Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Aider sessions side by side with live status, persistent scrollback, model switching, and AI-generated titles
• Prompt Editor — Save, version, and organize prompts with folders, tags, chains, templates, and AI search
• Task Queue — Queue prompts for sequential execution with auto-advance when the agent finishes, or step through manually
• Approval Workflows — Auto-approve tool-use requests based on learned rules; uncertain cases escalate to you
• Code Review — View git diffs from any project, staged or unstaged, with line-level detail
• Model Registry — Manage providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Ollama), compare pricing, switch models per session
• Session Insights — Analyze patterns across sessions to optimize prompts and workflows

Wall-E (Personal Digital Twin)

An always-on AI agent that learns from your Slack, email, calendar, and coding sessions.

• Second Brain — Automatically ingests your digital life into a searchable memory store with full-text search, knowledge extraction, and pattern detection
• Proactive Intelligence — Surfaces time-sensitive items, suggests actions, and delivers morning briefings and weekly reflections without being asked
• Chat with Tools — Talk to Wall-E in the browser — it can search your memories, look up people, run skills, and call external tools via MCP (Slack, Glean, etc.)
• 16 Bundled Skills — Morning briefing, weekly reflection, proactive alerts, Slack monitoring, email sync, calendar integration, coding agent, model training, and more
• Multi-Model — Works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, and local models via Ollama with smart routing
• Skill Management GUI — Search, filter, create, edit, and monitor skills from the browser with rich cards, config forms, execution history, export/import, and pre-flight validation
• Multi-Device — Share your brain across machines via Dropbox or iCloud

Install

npx create-walle install ./walle

This copies the project, installs dependencies, auto-detects your name and timezone, and starts the server. Open http://localhost:3456 to finish setup in the browser.

Commands

npx create-walle install <dir>   # Install CTM + Wall-E (or update if already installed)
npx create-walle update          # Update to latest version, keep your config
npx create-walle start           # Start as background service (auto-restarts on reboot)
npx create-walle stop            # Stop the service
npx create-walle status          # Check if running
npx create-walle logs            # Tail the service logs
npx create-walle uninstall       # Remove the auto-start service
npx create-walle -v              # Show version

Setup

On first launch, the browser setup page guides you through:

1. Owner name — auto-detected from git config
2. API key — enter manually, or click "Auto-detect" to find it from your shell environment, Claude Code OAuth, or corporate devbox
3. Integrations — connect Slack (OAuth), email and calendar auto-detected on macOS

Custom Port

CTM_PORT=5000 npx create-walle install ./walle

Wall-E runs on CTM_PORT + 1 (e.g., 5001).

Architecture

Everything runs locally. CTM serves the dashboard, Wall-E runs as a background agent. Both use SQLite — no external databases, no cloud dependency beyond your LLM API keys.

| Component | Default Port | What it does | |-----------|-------------|--------------| | CTM | 3456 | Dashboard, multi-agent terminal, prompt editor, queue, model registry, code review | | Wall-E | 3457 | AI agent, brain database, skills engine, multi-model chat API |
