gilamonster-agent

Experimental Rust agent cockpit built on newt-agent.

gila embeds pinned Newt crates; it is not a Newt plugin. It adds a human-owned PTY, read-only observation, capability packages, and cockpit/FleetView previews. gila starts its coder with host filesystem, network, and command authority. --ocap uses Newt's configured OCAP posture. cowork, follow, hotseat, and companion panes do not inherit the ambient default. See the authority policy.

Terminal-Bench

No gila result is published in gilamonster-bench@44f49eb. The table reproduces the newt-agent@5ddc969 scoreboard; these are Newt results.

Best recorded Newt run per model and lane. Measured rows use Terminal-Bench tb-30 at context 65,536. OCAP off/on means unconfined/confined. Metadata is shown per lane because the two maxima may come from different releases.

Install

Builds require Rust 1.88+ and Python 3. The Unix recipe also requires just.

git clone https://github.com/Gilamonster-Foundation/gilamonster-agent
cd gilamonster-agent
PYO3_PYTHON="$(command -v python3)" just install "$HOME/.local/bin"
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
gila --help

On Windows, set PYO3_PYTHON to python.exe and run cargo install --path ..

Use

gila                       # ambient coder in the current directory
gila code ./project        # ambient coder in a project
gila --ocap code ./project # Newt's configured OCAP posture
gila cowork ./project      # agent chat above a PTY shell
gila follow session.log    # read-only shell observer
gila cap --help            # optional capability packages
gila cockpit               # multiplexer preview
gila matrix --mock         # FleetView preview

See gila --help for all commands.

Develop

cargo build
just check                 # format, clippy, tests
just cov-ci                # coverage gate
just install-hooks

For local Newt changes, run just overlay-on, edit the generated .cargo/config.toml, then run just overlay-off to restore the pinned build.
