shad
A terminal agent that stays interruptible.
Describe a task. shad opens a live shell, makes a plan, runs commands, answers prompts, and accepts corrections while it works.
- 01Describe the task
Give shad an outcome in plain language.
- 02Review the plan
See the route before commands run.
- 03Steer while it works
Correct the task without discarding the session.
- 04Stop when needed
Return control to the person at the keyboard.
Documented behavior. Private alpha.
Interaction principles
Control stays at the keyboard.
Live shell
The agent works in the terminal session already in front of the user.
Mid-flight steering
A correction can change the task without throwing away useful progress.
Immediate stop
The person at the keyboard can end the agent’s run and return to the shell.
Working question
Can an agent move quickly without taking control away from the person at the keyboard?
shad is currently a private alpha. There is no public install or signup while the interaction model is still being tested.
