LAINTAS CLI · THE AI AGENT IN YOUR TERMINAL
Laintas CLI is an autonomous agent that lives in your shell. Commands like ls, git and vim still run straight in a real PTY, never through the model. Describe a task in a sentence and the agent reads code, runs commands and edits files — every step in front of you, every risky one waiting for your yes.
curl -fsSL https://cli.laintas.com/install.sh | bash01 · WHY IT EXISTS
An AI in a chat window can only advise. Copying, pasting, running, and relaying the error back is still your job. Laintas CLI stands in your working directory instead.
Direct commands bypass the model; interactive programs, long jobs and named sub-terminals keep native shell behavior.
Sub-agents split the job: HWO coordinates live collaboration, HWG compiles dependencies into resumable graphs.
Modes, roles, phases, global policy, trust and approvals narrow what a tool may do — enforced by the runtime.
Built-in tools, Skills, MCP servers and plugin-market extensions share one registry and one authorization pipeline.
02 · THE LIFE OF A REQUEST
Take “fix the failing test”. The path the runtime actually walks:
$ pytest → PTYmode: act · scope: projectread · shell.exec · editallow · ask · denytrace: onSECURITY BOUNDARY
Prompts express intent; the boundary lives in the runtime. No amount of model persuasion gets past a policy that already said no.
Allow
Ask
Deny
Which tier an action lands in depends on the active mode, project policy and organization policy.
