About

A Terminal-Native Agent For Real Engineering Work

Osmogrep is built for teams that want AI assistance without losing control. It runs inside your repository, keeps execution transparent, and treats every action as auditable engineering work instead of a black box.

Mission

Help engineers ship faster with fewer regressions by combining autonomous code actions with visible, human-reviewable execution.

Approach

Start from the terminal, operate on real files, run real commands, and keep a clear activity trail that teams can inspect anytime.

Outcome

Faster debugging, better test reliability, and safer merges through iterative write, run, verify loops.

What Makes Osmogrep Different

Interactive agent loop with streaming responses and tool calls.
Shell execution in-context using `!` prefix commands.
Slash controls like `/help`, `/clear`, and `/quit` for session management.
Repository-aware edits with explicit diffs and command output.

Supports OpenAI-compatible backends, including local model setups.
Built for code review, bug-fixing, and test-generation workflows.
Designed for local-first usage with clear operational boundaries.
Optimized for engineers who prefer terminal-native velocity.
