5 use cases

  • Keep one project context across coding agents

    Move between Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI on the same project without re-setting context.

    View prompt
    Using the acryl repo at github.com/acryldev/acryl, set up ACRYL on this machine and open the project at <project-path> as a project. Report the project name shown in ACRYL and list which agents from the roster are available; verify the project appears in the left panel before you finish.

  • Run several agents and act only when one needs you

    Use the attention queue to see the moment an agent needs input across parallel sessions.

    View prompt
    Using the acryl repo at github.com/acryldev/acryl, launch two Claude Code sessions in the project at <project-path> inside ACRYL. Report which session the attention queue flagged first and verify that the queue updates when one session asks for input.

  • Review agent diffs line by line and send comments back

    Comment on an agent's diff in ACRYL and send those comments straight back to the agent.

    View prompt
    Using the acryl repo at github.com/acryldev/acryl, open the diff for the worktree at <worktree-path> in ACRYL, add a review comment on one changed line, and send it to the agent. Report the line number and the agent's reply, and verify the comment appears in the session.

  • Diagnose and repair an ACRYL install that will not boot

    Use Acryl doctor and Acryl repair to find and fix a broken install, with backups and undo.

    View prompt
    Using the acryl repo at github.com/acryldev/acryl, run the ACRYL diagnostic on this machine, then run the repair if problems are found. Report the list of issues found and whether ACRYL boots afterward, and verify with `acryl` that the app starts.

  • Build and test ACRYL from source for a contribution

    Clone the repo, sync upstream, and run the verify and check gates before handing off a change.

    View prompt
    Using the acryl repo at github.com/acryldev/acryl, clone it into <target-dir>, sync upstream, install with the frozen lockfile, and run the verify script. Report the pass or fail result of the typecheck and tests, and verify that `corepack pnpm run check` completes before you finish.

How to use Acryl

  1. Check you have what it needs: macOS, Windows, or Linux machine; Installed coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI, if you want to launch it from ACRYL; Node.js ^22.19.0 or >=24.0.0 and Corepack, only for running from source.
  2. Open acryldev/acryl on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run curl -fsSL https://acryl.dev/install | bash to install the CLI and add acryl to your PATH.
  4. Run acryl to open the terminal surface.
  5. Add your project as a project in the left panel, then open a git worktree for the task if needed.
  6. Launch an agent such as Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI from the built-in catalog into that project.

These steps come from our top use case, Keep one project context across coding agents, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
