# Clowder AI
**Hard Rails. Soft Power. Shared Mission.**
*Every idea deserves a team of souls who take it seriously.*

## Why Clowder?
You have Claude, GPT, Gemini — powerful models, each with unique strengths. But using them together means **you** become the router: copy-pasting context, tracking who said what, losing hours to middle management.
Clowder AI is the platform layer that turns isolated AI agents into a real team. Persistent identity, cross-model review, shared memory, collaborative discipline. Most frameworks help you *call* agents. Clowder helps them *work together*.

## Quick Start
### Desktop Installer
Download from the Releases page — available for **Windows** (.exe) and **macOS** (.dmg). The installer bundles everything; no `pnpm install` needed.
### From Source
 [code] 
Requires Node.js 20+, pnpm 9+. Redis 7+ optional (`--memory` to skip).
> **Tips:** `pnpm start --quick` skips rebuild · `pnpm start --daemon` runs in background · Full docs →
## What It Does
| Capability | What It Means |
|-----------|---------------|
| **Multi-Agent Orchestration** | Route tasks to the right agent — Claude for architecture, GPT for review, Gemini for design |
| **Persistent Identity** | Each agent keeps its role, personality, and memory across sessions |
| **Cross-Model Review** | Claude writes code, GPT reviews it. Built-in, not bolted on |
| **A2A Communication** | Async agent-to-agent messaging with @mention routing and structured handoff |
| **Shared Memory** | Evidence store, lessons learned, decision logs — knowledge that persists |
| **Plugin Framework** | MCP tools, IM adapters (Feishu, Telegram), and on-demand skills |
## Supported Agents
| Agent CLI | Model Family | MCP | Status |
|-----------|-------------|-----|--------|
| Claude Code | Claude (Opus / Sonnet / Haiku) | Yes | Shipped |
| Codex CLI | GPT / Codex | Yes | Shipped |
| Gemini CLI | Gemini | Yes | Shipped |
| opencode | Multi-model | Yes | Shipped |
> Clowder doesn't replace your agent CLI — it's the layer *above* it.
## Architecture
 [code] 
*Models set the ceiling. The platform sets the floor.*
## Origin
Extracted from **Cat Cafe** — a production workspace where four AI cats collaborate daily on real software. Every feature has been battle-tested. The name *clowder* is the collective noun for a group of cats; it also hides a small easter egg — *clowder* sounds a lot like *cloud*.
