AOS Community Edition

Active
GitHub Rust Apache-2.0

Description

Community Edition of an open agent operating system with an aos CLI, HTTP API, and 22 first-party capsules that make agent memory, skills, and tools composable, auditable user space.

Key Features

  • One-command install — the installer brings the aos command, a pinned runtime, and 22 first-party capsules, with offline init supported
  • Signed release chain — checksums, Sigstore bundles, and GitHub build provenance ship with every release, and unsigned channel metadata refuses to publish
  • MCP approval edge — aos mcp serve gives Codex, Claude, and Grok one approval surface with explicit interaction policies
  • Composable capsules — capsules are general user-space building blocks for harnesses, connectors, services, and meta-harnesses
  • Forge construction tooling — agents can inspect the running system, find capability gaps, and build least-privilege capsules
  • Governed runtime migration — copies compatible state from a standalone install via an allowlist with integrity checks

Use Cases

💡 Unify personal or team agent runtimes behind one inspectable, upgradeable operating system layer.
💡 Let agents build their own least-privilege extensions with Forge during real work instead of piling up scripts.
💡 Share one governed MCP approval policy across Codex, Claude, and Grok clients.
💡 Run AOS as a daemon under a process supervisor for long-lived automated workloads.

Strengths & Limitations

✅ Strengths

  • • Actively maintained, recent updates
  • • High community interest (8.5k stars)
  • • Permissive open-source license (Apache-2.0)
  • • Responsive to issues, low backlog
