# ANA — Agent‑Native Agent
### Build apps you operate by watching and talking.
**English** · 한국어

## TL;DR
**ANA is an _Agent‑Native Agent_ for _Agent‑Native Lifestyle_ (ANL).** It is a self‑hosted app you operate by **watching** a live dashboard and **conversing** with a coding agent that serves as the runtime. Need a new behavior? Ask once — ANA proposes the change, applies it on approval, and evolves the app at runtime. No PR, no ship step — the running agent rewrites the app live and the dashboard reloads.
> Use = Build. That's the whole idea.

## Why Agent, Not Assistant
An assistant waits for instructions. An agent uses judgment, executes, and improves the tools around your work. Every tool today still forces a trade‑off between **using** and **building** — ANA collapses that gap.
| | SaaS / Apps | No‑code | Chatbots | Coding agents | **ANA** |
|---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| Use it instantly | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Change *anything* | ❌ | ⚠️ in‑box | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Sees your live data | ✅ | ✅ | ⚠️ | ⚠️ | ✅ |
| **Change it while using it — same conversation** | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ⚠️ | ✅ |
| You fully own it (self‑host) | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
SaaS is *instant but frozen*. Coding agents are *infinitely malleable but build‑time only* — you ship, then use. **ANA makes using the app (talking) the same act as building it (changing behavior),** because the agent is native to the runtime.

## The Three Principles
1. **Watch + Converse** — visual state and chat live in *one* view. You operate by looking and talking, not clicking through fixed UI.
2. **Agent as Runtime** — the agent reads your data, acts, and **rewrites the app's own code** when asked. Inference is the runtime.
3. **Own Your Harness** — zero dependencies, self‑hosted, yours forever. It keeps evolving with you.
These are also the acceptance criteria for every ANA built with this harness.

## How it works
 [code] 
There is **no bridge and no MCP**. The browser posts to the server, the server injects the text straight into the tmux pane, and a 300 ms `capture-pane` loop mirrors the session back as an append-only ledger over SSE. For rich replies the agent posts a **proposal** (before/after + approve card); on approval the server applies the diff and bumps a `version` so every device re-syncs. When the agent keeps a structured log (Claude Code, Codex), the chat is rendered from that log instead of the screen, so replies and tool calls come through exactly. **The coding agent is the backend** — you grow the app by talking to it.

## Start without local installation — GitHub Codespaces
Run ANA in your browser without installing WSL, Node or tmux on your computer. Bring a GitHub account and Claude Code access, then sign in to Claude once inside the codespace.
**Browser quick-start guide** — automatic setup → open **ANA / 8809** in Ports → complete Claude setup in ANA chat. Keep the port **Private**. Codespaces usage is billed separately from Claude; ANA stops when the codespace
