3 use cases

  • Run one chat assistant across a project folder

    Install Spynel and talk to one assistant that coordinates your coding harnesses in a single terminal chat.

    View prompt
    Using the spynel repo at agent0ai/spynel, install Spynel in <project-directory> and start it with `spynel` from that folder. Expected output: a running Spynel terminal chat bound to <project-directory>. Verify that `/config` opens and that a test message gets a reply from the assistant.

  • Keep project tasks and goals in readable markdown

    Store tasks, goals, decisions, and status as markdown that any AI harness can inspect.

    View prompt
    Using the spynel repo at agent0ai/spynel, read docs/tasks-and-goals.md and start Spynel in <project-directory>. Expected output: markdown files holding goals, tasks, decisions, and status for that project. Verify that the files open as plain markdown and that a second AI harness can read the current task status from them.

  • Message your project assistant from Telegram or WhatsApp

    Reach the same Spynel assistant from Telegram or WhatsApp when you are away from the terminal.

    View prompt
    Using the spynel repo at agent0ai/spynel, follow docs/integrations.md to connect <Telegram or WhatsApp> to a Spynel instance running in <project-directory>. Expected output: a test message sent from the phone gets a reply from the same assistant. Verify that the reply matches the state shown in the terminal chat.

How to use Spynel

  1. Check you have what it needs: macOS or Linux for the curl install, or Node.js 18+ for the npm install; An existing coding harness such as Codex or Claude Code, since Spynel uses them to do the work; A project directory to run Spynel from.
  2. Open agent0ai/spynel on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run curl -LsSf https://spynel.agent-zero.ai/install.sh | sh on macOS or Linux, or run npm install -g spynel with Node.js 18+.
  4. Change into your project directory.

  6. Run /config in the chat to complete setup.

These steps come from our top use case, Run one chat assistant across a project folder, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
