The terminal-native AI coding agent
Atlas is an open, terminal-native AI coding agent. Plan, edit, and ship from the place you already live: your shell.
Why Atlas
Built for people who live in the terminal
Every surface is keyboard-first, diff-driven, and permission-gated. No magic, no lock-in.
Terminal-native
A first-class TUI that lives in your shell. No context switch, no browser tab, no leaving the keyboard.
Plans before edits
Atlas drafts a plan, shows the diff, and asks before it touches your tree. You stay in control of every change.
Git-aware
Branch-safe by default. Atlas reads your history, scopes its work, and writes commits that read like yours.
Multi-agent workflows
Fan out parallel agents to search, review, and migrate across a codebase one context could never hold.
Plugins and MCP
Extend Atlas with plugins and Model Context Protocol servers. Bring your own tools, themes, and surfaces.
Permission-gated
Every tool call runs behind a permission mode you choose. Nothing leaves your machine without your say-so.
How it works
From install to shipped in three steps
Bring Atlas into your shell
One binary. No runtime to babysit. Start in the repo you already have open.
