Agent Machines

Open-source building blocks for agent harnesses.

Choose a runtime. Connect tools, state, and compute. Start from a working implementation you can inspect, edit, and extend.

Agent runtimes are powerful; assembling the surrounding system is still hard. Agent Machines brings together Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, and OpenClaw, sandbox adapters, bootstrap recipes, a real browser terminal, configuration, skills, and a dashboard for operating multiple agents.

Think shadcn for agent harnesses: useful source you can adopt and make your own. This is an analogy for the source-first approach, not a claim of a shadcn registry, a component-install CLI, or a public marketplace.

What you get

Building block	What you can use	Source
Runtime adapters	Install and run Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, or OpenClaw through a shared boundary	Runtime adapters, contracts
Compute adapters	Provision, execute, inspect, and tear down machines on Daytona, E2B, Sprites, or Vercel Sandbox	Provider adapters
Bootstrap and configuration	Prepare a workspace, configure a compatible model route, and apply runtime-specific setup	Bootstrap runner, mux configuration
Browser Agent Console	Interact with the real agent CLI and reconnect to its remote terminal session	Console UI, session layer
Instructions, memory, and abilities	Bring your own persona and instructions, select skills and tools, and edit the underlying files	Memory bundles, skills, MCP catalog
Lifecycle and multiple-agent dashboard	Manage configured workspaces, launch operations, schedules, files, logs, and results	Lifecycle kernel, dashboard
SDK and CLI	Use the hosted app from code or talk directly to your sandbox providers	Public exports, CLI

The bundled catalog contains 161 skills and 39 MCP servers. Catalog entries and selected abilities are not proof of installation, credentials, or successful runtime use. The dashboard separates discovery, installation attempts, and verification; some integrations need manual setup.

Start with the app

Requires Node ^20.19 or >=22.12 and pnpm 10.30.0.

git clone https://github.com/Kevin-Liu-01/Agent-Machines.git
cd Agent-Machines
corepack enable
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
cp web/.env.local.example web/.env.local
pnpm web

Open the local dashboard. The example enables a local-only development session when Clerk keys are blank. On an existing checkout, preserve your environment file instead of copying over it.

1. Configure a sandbox credential and a compatible model credential in Settings.
2. Choose a runtime and provider, or start from a preconfigured agent recipe.
3. Launch, watch bootstrap, and open the real CLI in the browser.
4. Run a small task, inspect its files and logs, then edit the instructions or loadout and try again.
