Quick start

brew tap unicity-astrid/tap && brew install astrid
astrid init      # pick a provider, enter its key, install a distro
astrid doctor    # verify the daemon, capsules, and an LLM are ready
astrid chat      # start a session; the daemon auto-starts

Start with the Astrid website for a live tour, the Book for the architecture, or the Contributor Handbook to contribute to Unicity Astrid OS.

Install

Astrid installs four binaries that work together. You only ever invoke astrid; it starts and manages the rest.

Binary	Role
`astrid`	CLI uplink. Connects to the daemon over the Unix socket. TUI, headless mode, capsule and agent management.
`astrid-daemon`	The kernel process. Loads capsules, routes IPC, enforces capabilities, runs the sandbox.
`astrid-build`	Capsule compiler and packager. Builds to `wasm32-unknown-unknown`.
`astrid-emit`	Stdio-to-bus bridge for external hook producers.
