What it does

A terminal coding agent built on a Go-native agent toolkit: streaming runner, tools, guardrails, compaction, providers, MCP, and sandboxing. brew install zarldev/tap/zarlcode Or import the toolkit: go get github.com/zarldev/zarlmono/zkit@latest zarlcode is the product surface: a terminal-native coding agent that reads, edits, runs commands, searches the web, connects MCP servers, and spawns focused sub-agents while keeping sessions local and resumable. zkit is the Go toolkit underneath. It gives you the pieces to build your own agents without adopting a framework runtime: a streaming loop, tool dispatch, provider adapters, guardrails, compaction, verified completion, and small foundation…from zarldev.github.io

    Hello! We just released freeact (https://github.com/gradion-ai/freeact), a lightweight agent library that empowers language models to act as autonomous agents through executable code actions. By enabling agents to express their actions directly in code rather than through constrained formats like JSON, freeact provides a flexible and powerful approach to solving complex, open-ended problems that require dynamic solution paths. * Supports dynamic installation and utilization of Python packages at runtime * Agents learn from feedback and store successful code actions as…

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
