The meta harness engineering system for agents. A Phoenix Labs source-available product (FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0), terminal-coded — NOT the Rush/Swarmify brand. Two surfaces, one identity: a chalk-colored terminal CLI and the agi-cli.sh web landing, both a dark #0a0a0a canvas with a single neon-lime accent. The web is monospace-dominant (JetBrains Mono wordmark over a system ui-monospace body); the CLI speaks in chalk-semantic ANSI color.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## Overview agi-cli is a **terminal-first tool that also wears a web face**. The same brand shows up in two mediums, and the design job is to make them feel like one product: - **The terminal** — the primary surface. Thousands of lines of `chalk`-colored output, spinners, and aligned monospace tables. This is where the tool lives. - **The web** — the [agi-cli.sh](https://agi-cli.sh) landing page. The same identity rendered in HTML, and it leans *harder* into the terminal aesthetic than the CLI: `#0a0a0a` canvas, one neon-lime accent, and monospace almost everywhere — a JetBrains Mono wordmark over a system `ui-monospace` body. The page reads like a `man` page that happens to be a website. > **Not the Rush/Swarmify brand.** agi-cli is Phoenix Labs source-available (FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0) and terminal-coded; it does not use Swarmify's Geist/coral system. The Swarmify VS Code extension mirrors this *palette* (lime on black) but is a separate product with its own design doc — don't import its tokens here. …

How to install
mdr add phnx-labs/agi-cli/DESIGN.md@sha256:d679ddcc7994ba13The line at the top of this page pins the label alpha, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
