terminal AI where agents talk to each other, organize themselves, and keep working when you walk away.

i built this because every AI tool i tried was a single chat window. i wanted agents that actually collaborate -- one reads the codebase, another writes code, a third reviews it, and they coordinate without me micromanaging every step. so i built that.

three agents. you give one a task. it breaks it down, delegates to the others, they execute, report back, and you get the result. they remember things across sessions. they get smarter over time. and if you're not at your computer, they message you on telegram and you can talk back.

```bash
brew install kollaborai/tap/kollabor   # macOS
kollab                                  # start chatting
```

```bash
kollab --agent jarvis                   # launch with an agent persona
kollab --hub status                     # see who's online from the shell
kollab --hub msg jarvis "fix the auth"  # talk to agents without opening the app
kollab --hub kill lapis                 # shut down an agent remotely
```

## what makes this different

- **agents that coordinate** -- launch 3 agents, give one a task, watch it delegate to the others and report back
- **persistent memory** -- agents remember what they learned across sessions. they dream when idle and crystallize knowledge
- **open channel** -- every agent sees every message. like a team slack, not isolated chat windows
- **hook everything** -- every stage of the pipeline is interceptable. user input, API calls, responses, tool use, rendering
- **any LLM** -- OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure, OpenRouter, Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
- **telegram bridge** -- talk to your agents from your phone. send voice notes, they transcribe locally with whisper
- **plugin system** -- drop a Python file in `plugins/`, it loads automatically
- **no tmux** -- pure subprocess. no external dependencies for agent management
- **pipe mode** -- `echo "query" | kollab -p` for scripting

## Install

```bash
brew install kollaborai/tap/kollabor        # macOS (recommended)
```

```bash
curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kollaborai/kollabor-cli/main/install.sh | bash  # cross-platform
```

Or manually: `uv tool install kollabor` / `pipx install kollabor` / `pip install kollabor`

## Quick Start

Kollabor auto-detects your API keys from standard environment variables:

| Environment Variable | Provider | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | Anthropic | Claude models |
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | OpenAI | GPT models |
| `GEMINI_API_KEY` | Google | Gemini models |
| `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | OpenRouter | 300+ models from any provider |

```bash
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
kollab
```

That's it. No config files needed.

### OpenAI OAuth (ChatGPT subscription)

Use your existing ChatGPT Plus/Pro account -- no API key needed:

```bash
kollab --login openai
```

Opens your browser, you authorize, and you're in. Uses the Responses API with your subscription quota.

### Custom Profiles

For more control, create named profiles with env vars following the pattern `KOLLABOR_{NAME}_{FIELD}`:

```bash
# Local LLM via Ollama
KOLLABOR_LOCAL_PROVIDER=custom
KOLLABOR_LOCAL_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434/v1
KOLLABOR_LOCAL_MODEL=llama3.1

kollab --profile local
```

Use `/profile` interactively to list, switch, and create profiles. See [FEATURES.md](docs/reference/FEATURES.md) for all configuration options.

### Pipe Mode

```bash
kollab "What is the capital of France?"        # direct query
echo "Explain this code" | kollab -p           # from stdin
cat document.txt | kollab -p                   # from file
kollab --timeout 5min "Complex analysis task"  # with timeout
```

## Providers

| Provider | Type | How to Connect |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropic | Native | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` |
| OpenAI | Native | `OPENAI_API_KEY` or `kollab --login openai` |
| Google Gemini | Native | `GEMINI_API_KEY` |
| Azure OpenAI | Native | `KOLLABOR_AZURE_*` env vars |
| OpenRouter | Gateway | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` (300+ models) |
| Ollama | Custom | `KOLLABOR_LOCAL_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434/v1` |
| LM Studio | Custom | `KOLLABOR_LMSTUDIO_BASE_URL=http://localhost:1234/v1` |
| Any OpenAI-compatible | Custom | `KOLLABOR_{NAME}_BASE_URL=...` |

## Hooks & Plugins

Every stage of the pipeline is hookable:

```
user input → pre_user_input → pre_api_request → [LLM API] → post_api_response → pre_message_display → output
                                                    ↓
                                              pre_tool_use → [tool execution] → post_tool_use
```

Write a plugin:

```python
from kollabor_plugins import BasePlugin
from kollabor_events import EventType, HookPriority

class MyPlugin(BasePlugin):
    def register_hooks(self):
        self.event_bus.register_hook(
            EventType.PRE_API_REQUEST,
            self.on_request,
            priority=HookPriority.NORMAL
        )

    async def on_request(self, context):
        # inject custom headers, modify messages, add tools, whatever
        context["headers"]["X-Custom"] = "value"
        return context
```

Drop it in `plugins/` and it loads automatically. Plugins can register slash commands, add status bar widgets, merge config, and hook into 30+ event types.

## Agent Hub

Agents auto-discover each other and form a peer-to-peer mesh. They see who's online, send messages, and coordinate work -- all through the open channel.

```bash
kollab --agent jarvis                   # launch with agent identity
kollab --agent coder --designation ruby  # override hub designation
```

### Hub CLI

Manage the mesh without opening a TUI:

```bash
kollab --hub status                     # who's online
kollab --hub capture jarvis 100         # last 100 lines of agent output
kollab --hub kill lapis                 # remote shutdown (clean exit)
kollab --hub msg jarvis "fix the auth"  # send a message
kollab --attach jarvis                  # stream agent output (read-only)
```

### Hub Features

- **Gem designations** -- 24 gem-inspired names with color castes (lapis, peridot, ruby...)
- **Open channel** -- all agents see all messages (like a team chat)
- **Vaults** -- persistent memory across sessions (stream, working memory, crystallized insights)
- **Dreaming** -- idle agents review their vault and crystallize knowledge automatically
- **Task Ledger** -- compaction-proof task persistence with QA review flow (assign, checkpoint, complete, QA approve/reject)
- **Hub Cron** -- schedule recurring messages to agents on intervals (e.g. every 5m, 1h)
- **Telegram Bridge** -- bidirectional messaging with voice transcription via local whisper
- **Skill routing** -- coordinator matches tasks to agents by capability
- **Organizations** -- launch entire teams from JSON org charts
- **User broadcasting** -- when you talk to one agent, all peers see it
- **Remote kill** -- shut down any agent on the mesh from the CLI or another agent

### Telegram Bridge

Talk to your agents from your phone. Bidirectional -- send messages,
receive responses, voice notes transcribed locally via whisper.

```bash
# Setup
export KOLLABOR_HUB_BRIDGE_TOKEN=your-bot-token    # from @BotFather
export KOLLABOR_HUB_BRIDGE_CHAT_ID=your-chat-id    # from @userinfobot
kollab --agent jarvis
/hub bridge setup     # auto-detects and sends test message
```

Everything jarvis sees appears on telegram. Agent arrivals,
departures, hub chatter, responses -- all forwarded to your phone.

See [Telegram Bridge Setup](docs/guides/telegram-bridge-setup.md) for the full walkthrough.

## Architecture

Kollabor is a monorepo. Each package is independently versioned and installable.

| Package | What it does |
|---|---|
| [kollabor-ai](packages/kollabor-ai) | LLM providers, profiles, OAuth, streaming |
| [kollabor-agent](packages/kollabor-agent) | Tool execution, MCP, permissions |
| [kollabor-tui](packages/kollabor-tui) | Terminal UI, rendering, design system |
| [kollabor-events](packages/kollabor-events) | Event bus, hook registry |
| [kollabor-config](packages/kollabor-config) | Configuration system |
| [kollabor-plugins](packages/kollabor-plugins) | Plugin framework, SDK |
| [kollabor-engine](packages/kollabor-engine) | Web UI backend |

The `kollabor/` directory is a thin orchestration layer that wires the packages together.

```

└── main.py                    # Entry point
```

## Development
