Friday
by basenana
Unix-philosophy AI agent for the terminal. Pipe-friendly, local-first, and supports multiple LLM providers.
What it does
Friday is a terminal-centric AI agent designed around the Unix philosophy of "text in, text out." It allows users to pipe shell command output directly into an AI agent for analysis, summarization, or transformation, making it an ideal companion for DevOps and system administration.
Tools
- Chat: Direct interaction with the agent via CLI arguments or stdin.
- Session Manager: Persistent conversation history and memory management.
- A2A Channel: Exposes the agent as an Agent-to-Agent protocol server for inter-agent communication.
- Heartbeat: Execution of periodic tasks defined in a workspace checklist.
