# Starweaver
Starweaver is a Rust agent SDK for building local-first AI agents, CLIs, and service runtimes.
It gives you a typed agent loop, provider-neutral model protocol, function tools, structured
output, durable session primitives, first-party environment tools, and a CLI product surface in
one workspace.
The current release line is preparing for the first public release, `0.0.1`. The development
version in this repository intentionally uses the pre-release version `0.0.1-dev.0`; the release
commit promotes it to `0.0.1`.
## Why Starweaver
- Rust-native agent construction with `AgentBuilder`, `AgentApp`, and `AgentSession`.
- Provider-neutral model messages, settings, profiles, streaming parts, and request audit hooks.
- Typed function tools from Serde and `schemars`, plus toolsets, metadata, retries, approval, and deferred records.
- Structured output through JSON Schema, typed parsing, output functions, and validation retry.
- Runtime extension hooks for prompt preparation, request shaping, tool policy, output validation, usage, and trace recording.
- Durable execution foundations: context export/restore, checkpoints, session records, replay streams, and SQLite storage adapters.
- First-party SDK bundles for filesystem, shell, skills, task tracking, host search/scrape/media adapters, MCP, and subagents.
- A CLI launcher with profile-based local runs, install/update flow, display messages, local storage, and release artifacts.
## Install
After the first release is published:
```bash
Install a pinned release:
```bash
STARWEAVER_VERSION=v0.0.1 \
Run from a checkout before the first release:
```bash
make cli -- -p "hello" --output text
make sw -- version
```
## SDK Quickstart
```rust
use std::sync::Arc;
use starweaver_agent::{AgentBuilder, TestModel};
# async fn example() -> Result<(), starweaver_agent::AgentError> {
let agent = AgentBuilder::new(Arc::new(TestModel::with_text("Paris")))
.instruction("Answer concisely.")
.build();
let result = agent.run("What is the capital of France?").await?;
assert_eq!(result.output, "Paris");
# Ok(())
# }
```
Add typed tools:
```rust
use std::sync::Arc;
use schemars::JsonSchema;
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use starweaver_agent::{typed_tool, AgentBuilder, TestModel, ToolContext, ToolResult};
#[derive(Clone, Debug, Deserialize, JsonSchema, Serialize)]
struct LookupArgs {
/// City to look up.
city: String,
}
# async fn example() -> Result<(), starweaver_agent::AgentError> {
let lookup = typed_tool::<LookupArgs, _, _>(
"lookup_weather",
Some("Look up weather for a city".to_string()),
|_ctx: ToolContext, args: LookupArgs| async move {
Ok(ToolResult::new(serde_json::json!({
"city": args.city,
"forecast": "clear"
})))
},
);
let agent = AgentBuilder::new(Arc::new(TestModel::with_text("clear")))
.tool(Arc::new(lookup))
.build();
let result = agent.run("What is the weather in Paris?").await?;
assert_eq!(result.output, "clear");
# Ok(())
# }
```

## Workspace
Starweaver is organized as focused crates:
- `starweaver-agent`: public SDK facade, app/session helpers, bundles, subagents, profiles, and filters.
- `starweaver-runtime`: deterministic agent loop, graph state, tools, output, retries, capabilities, streams, traces, and checkpoints.
- `starweaver-model`: provider-neutral model protocol, settings, profiles, transports, wrappers, OAuth-backed adapters, and replay tests.
- `starweaver-tools`: function tools, toolsets, metadata, lifecycle, MCP foundations, approval, and deferred execution.
- `starweaver-context`: `AgentContext`, typed dependencies, state, event/message buses, notes, usage, and resumable state.
- `starweaver-environment`: local and virtual filesystem/shell providers, policies, resources, and environment snapshots.
- `starweaver-session`, `starweaver-stream`, `starweaver-storage`: durable session, replay, display stream, and SQLite storage contracts.
- `starweaver-cli`: local CLI product surface, launcher dispatch, profiles, TUI, storage, install, and update workflows.
## Validation
```bash
make fmt-check
make check
make test
make docs-check
make docs-build
```
Full local gate:
```bash
make ci
```
## Release
Prepare the first public release:
```bash
gh workflow run prepare-release.yml -f version=0.0.1
```
The workflow pushes `release/v0.0.1` for review. After that release commit reaches `main`, publish `v0.0.1` as a GitHub Release; the published Release event builds CLI archives, uploads checksums, and publishes crates through the `Release` environment.
## Acknowledgements
Starweaver's design is informed by prior agent SDK work, including Pydantic AI and the Yet Another Agents / ya-mono ecosystem. Starweaver's implementation, public symbols, crate boundaries, documentation, and release workflow use Starweaver-native names and contracts.
