zeno-agent

Personal agent that operates across the apps you use, by composing the connectors you install. Self-hosted. Single-user.

[!WARNING]
Early / experimental. Personal project, single-user, no SLA, no support guarantees. Breaking changes expected. Use at your own risk.

What it does

Zeno acts on your behalf inside the apps you already work in. Open a pull request after fixing a Sentry error. Triage your inbox. List the issues blocking the current sprint. Comment on a PR with the output of a code review. Anything that involves acting in an external app, Zeno can do — provided you have installed a connector for that app. Connectors are the heart of the product: each one is a small MCP server you install through the dashboard. Without connectors, Zeno is a talking statue.

Install

curl -fsSL https://zeno-agent.dev/install.sh | sh

The wrapper at zeno-agent.dev/install.sh forwards to the install.sh shipped at the most recent release tag; pass | sh -s -- --unstable to install from main instead. Full walkthrough — prerequisites, profile creation, first @zeno hello in Slack — at https://docs.zeno-agent.dev/install. Daily commands at https://docs.zeno-agent.dev/daily-ops.

What works today

Channel: Slack via Socket Mode (mention the bot or DM it). Worker boots without Slack creds and falls back to a NoopChannel so first install isn't blocked on the dashboard chicken-egg.
Connectors (live in the dashboard catalogue at https://docs.zeno-agent.dev/connector-catalogue): GitHub App, GitHub Personal (PAT), Linear, Klaviyo, Sentry, Swarmia.
Skills: Markdown SKILL.md playbooks installed via the dashboard, materialized into ~/.claude/skills/, auto-discovered by the Claude Agent SDK. Capabilities (Read/Edit/Write/Bash) are gated globally per profile.
Multi-profile isolation: the zeno CLI manages N profiles via a host SQLite (~/.zeno/state.db); each profile is its own container, dashboard, master key, and credentials.
Per-tool capability gating: toggle individual connector tools allow/ask/off from /connectors/<id>.
Crons: scheduled agent runs configured in the dashboard at /crons, persistent across restarts, with per-cron run history.

What is not here yet: no multi-user support (single operator only), no production-deployment recipe, no hosted instance.

AGENTS.md is the agent's working contract. vault/_index/home.md is the project's knowledge map. vault/constitution.md carries the non-negotiable design principles. The outsider documentation site lives at https://docs.zeno-agent.dev.
