An agent runtime that truly has experience.

What Is This?

Daat Locus is a long-running local self-governing Agent Runtime.

It is built for work that becomes better through history: maintaining the same project over time, repeatedly handling the same class of task, remembering your preferences and practical experience, and distilling them to improve later behavior.

Core Ideas

Apps For Agents

When humans use a computer, we rarely choose an action from a global list of everything the machine can do. We open a terminal, read the current output, enter a command, and wait for the result; or we open a browser, read the current page, click, navigate, and continue from the new page.

Daat Locus gives agents a similar interaction model.

Apps provide stateful operating surfaces for the runtime. Each App renders the current state the agent can see, explains when it should be used, explains how it should be operated, and exposes a local set of tools when focused.

Compared with a flat tool list, this gives the model three things:

  1. Locality: the agent only sees tools relevant to the current operating surface.
  2. State grounding: actions are based on the state currently displayed by the App, instead of choosing tools out of context.
  3. Temporal continuity: long-running surfaces such as Terminal and Browser can be safely continued.

Apps are how Daat Locus turns "tools" into "software operating surfaces".

Therefore, Daat Locus does not need SKILLS.md to explain how a group of tools should be used. The App itself is self-describing.

Workflow Self-Improvement

Daat Locus executes tasks with workflows as blueprints, then feeds execution experience back into workflows during an independent sleep phase.

While awake, Daat Locus executes tasks and records practical experience. During sleep, it organizes that experience, fixes recurring problems, and improves the workflows that later tasks depend on.

Sleep optimization also attempts to merge similar workflows to avoid unbounded growth.

Quick Start

The recommended install path is cargo-binstall, which installs the prebuilt GitHub Release binary for your platform. On first launch, Daat Locus downloads the matching self-contained Hindsight sidecar from the project sidecar release, then caches it locally. Normal installs do not need Python, uv, or PyInstaller.

cargo install cargo-binstall
cargo binstall daat-locus

You can also download the matching archive directly from GitHub Releases, extract it, and place daat-locus on your PATH.

On first launch, Daat Locus opens an interactive setup flow.

Source Builds

cargo install daat-locus is available from crates.io. Like the prebuilt release binary, source builds download the matching Hindsight sidecar on first launch when it is not already cached.

git clone https://github.com/shadow3aaa/DaatLocus
cd DaatLocus
cargo run --locked
