Description
ACRYL, or Agent Context Relay Yielding Lifecycles, is a comprehensive desktop and package ecosystem tailored for managing persistent AI agent lifecycles. It provides a programmable environment where users can compose models, tools, agents, skills, and surfaces around a single, evolving project lifecycle. This platform treats the workspace as the central hub, allowing agents to be interchangeable while maintaining durable context, decisions, and project state.

One of ACRYL's key features is its ability to move work seamlessly among various AI coding agents such as Claude, Codex, Pi, OpenCode, and DSH without losing continuity. The platform supports a wide range of tools, skills, adapters, workflows, Blueprints, and StemCells, all of which are independently inspectable building blocks. ACRYL's Cordis lifecycles enable capabilities to mount, replace, reconcile, and dispose through explicit contracts, ensuring a robust and flexible development environment.
ACRYL is designed to be compatible with standard DeepSeek Harness packages, retaining their upstream install path and source identity. The platform's package portal allows users to discover native ACRYL packages and the DeepSeek Harness ecosystem in a single, source-aware directory. This ecosystem is supported by two sibling registries, providing a composable environment for users to publish and discover new packages.
The platform also features a cross-platform desktop IDE for running, managing, and chaining multiple AI coding agents. It captures, normalizes, compacts, and relays context between agents, allowing for seamless continuity and parallel execution of up to 50 terminal sessions. ACRYL's Worktree Manager provides a comprehensive view of all repositories, enabling automatic worktree creation and management.
ACRYL's innovative features include a session history browser, voice dictation, a plugin system, and an MCP Proxy Hub. These tools enhance the user experience by offering real-time agent observability, seamless context relay, and a global workspace that persists across restarts. The platform is open source and available for macOS, Linux, and Windows, making it accessible to a wide range of users.
