Claurst is an **open-source, multi-provider terminal coding agent** built from the ground up in Rust. It started as a clean-room reimplementation of Claude Code's behavior (from [spec](https://github.com/kuberwastaken/claurst/tree/main/spec)) and has since evolved into an amazing TUI pair programmer with multi-provider support, a rich UI, plugin system, a companion named Rustle, chat forking, memory consolidation, and much more.
It's fast, it's memory-efficient, it's yours to run however you want, and there's no tracking or telemetry.
---
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Claurst is now officially in Beta (v0.1.7).** The core agent, multi-provider routing, and TUI are stable enough for daily driving — expect rough edges around experimental features (flagged below). Bug reports and PRs welcome.
> [!NOTE]
> **Recent Updates:**
>
> - **/share support:** Use `/share` to share chat sessions with others via unlisted GitHub Gists. `[EXPERIMENTAL]`
>
> - **Free Mode:** Try out Free in '/connect' to get a great agentic coding experience in Claurst for absolutely free (or as good as free gets you :P). `[EXPERIMENTAL]`
>
> - **/goal support:** Try out `/goal <objective>` to see claurst keep working an objective, spanning multiple turns instead of stopping after one normal turn. `[EXPERIMENTAL]`
>
> - **ultracode:** The **highest effort level** — pick it in the effort selector (`/effort`, where it sits past `max` on the "Smarter" end with an animated purple spectrum) or just type **`ultracode`** anywhere in your prompt. The keyword lights up with a purple gradient (claurst's take on Claude Code's `ultrathink`) and that turn runs at the model's top reasoning **plus** a disciplined plan → delegate → integrate → verify workflow that fans bounded packets out across native subagents (`Agent`), swarms (`TeamCreate`), and background tasks (`TaskCreate`). Composes with `/goal` for sustained multi-turn objectives. `[EXPERIMENTAL]`

# Getting Started
## Quick install (one-liner)
**Linux / macOS:**
```bash
curl -fsSL https://github.com/kuberwastaken/claurst/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash
```
**Windows (PowerShell):**
```powershell
irm https://github.com/kuberwastaken/claurst/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex
```
This drops `claurst` into `~/.claurst/bin` (or `%USERPROFILE%\.claurst\bin` on Windows) and adds it to your `PATH` automatically. Open a new terminal and run `claurst`.
## Via npm / bun
If you have Node.js or Bun installed, you can install Claurst as a global package. The postinstall script automatically downloads the right pre-built binary for your platform.
```bash
# npm
npm install -g claurst
# bun
bun install -g claurst
# or run without installing
npx claurst
bunx claurst
```
To upgrade later, run:
```bash
claurst upgrade
```
> Pin a specific version with `--version 0.1.0` on either installer, or `claurst upgrade --version 0.1.0`.
## Manual download
If you'd rather grab the binary yourself, the latest archives are on [**GitHub Releases**](https://github.com/kuberwastaken/claurst/releases):
| Platform | Archive |
|----------|---------|
| **Windows** x86_64 | `claurst-windows-x86_64.zip` |
| **Linux** x86_64 | `claurst-Excerpt of 10,499 characters
