OpenShell is the safe, private runtime for autonomous AI agents.

About the project

OpenShell is a runtime for autonomous AI agents that executes them in sandboxed environments governed by declarative policies. It is used to restrict agents' access to files, credentials, data, and network resources, and the catalogue includes skills and workflows for operating and contributing to it.

This repository also configures its own agents. See what OpenShell tells them →
