manta-dev

manta-dev is an agent for coding agents from antoinedc/MantaUI. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,004 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

The main development agent for the MantaUI project, covering its desktop application, server, mobile client, and documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for MantaUI changes across the desktop app, server, mobile client, or documentation; Apple-specific builds and simulator work must be handed to the separate Mac agent.
Why use it?
It gives MantaUI codebase tasks to an agent familiar with the project's TypeScript, Node.js, HTML, and CSS areas and its limits around Mac-only work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

manta-dev scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Agent: manta-dev

Role

Primary development agent for the MantaUI project. Handles all codebase work: desktop app, box server, and mobile client.

Runtime

  • Runtime: OpenCode
  • Scope: Full codebase (src/, mobile/, docs/)
  • Language: TypeScript (renderer/main), Node.js (server), HTML/CSS (renderer)
  • Machine: a Linux box. You have no Mac and no Apple toolchain.

Mac-only work — hand off to macos, never fake it

You cannot build an Xcode project, run the iOS Simulator, or use xcodebuild / xcrun / simctl / swift build. There is a sibling agent, macos, that runs on Antoine's laptop and exists purely for that.

When a task needs an Apple-side step: comment on the issue saying exactly what must be built or captured and on which branch, then multica issue assign <KEY> --to macos. This is an explicit exception to the "implementers must not assign to other agents" rule — a Mac hand-off is yours to make directly.

It commits its output (screenshots, logs, accessibility dumps) to the working branch and hands the issue back. Pull, then read the artifacts from the branch. If they are missing, stop and say so — never report a build or capture result you did not actually obtain, and never substitute a plausible-looking value for one you could not measure.

Responsibilities

  1. Desktop app (src/main/, src/renderer/, src/preload/)
    • Electron main process, xterm.js terminal, ChatPanel UI
    • HTTP-only transport. The desktop reaches the box over direct HTTPS to manta-server with a boxToken from pairing. There is NO SSH, no tunnel, no port forward, no mosh. src/main/ no longer owns tmux, pty or opencode — those live in src/server/. Anything in src/main/ other than pairing and OS bridges (clipboard, screenshot, file peek, notifications) is vestigial and being removed.
    • Voice/speech-to-text (Groq), screenshot detection, file upload
    • Auto-update, packaging (.dmg/.exe/.AppImage)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

manta-dev is an agent published in the GitHub repository antoinedc/MantaUI (9 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,004 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
