Features

Built for real work

Everything you need to build, decide and remember — in the terminal.

⬡

Multi-model

Switch between Claude, DeepSeek, Groq and Ollama mid-session with /model. Each model remembers the same context.

◎

Semantic memory

Cross-session memory stores context permanently. ÆGIS remembers your projects, preferences and past decisions.

⚖

Council voting

Use /council to send questions to Claude, DeepSeek and Llama simultaneously. They deliberate and vote. Consensus wins.

◈

Orchestration

Delegate to specialized agents — architect, implementer, reviewer, debugger — working in parallel or in sequence.

⬡⬡

Skills

Build custom skills and tools. Extend aegiscode with your own SKILL.md files for domain-specific workflows.

☁

Cloud sync

Connect to aegiscloud.org with /cloud. Sessions sync automatically on exit. Access your history anywhere.

🔑

BYOK

Bring your own API keys. You pay your model provider directly. No markup, no middleman.

🔒

Local first

Memory stored locally at ~/.aegiscode/. Cloud sync is opt-in. Your data stays yours.
