Unicity Astrid OS · by project

A modular operating system
for AI agents.

Every ability is a sealed capsule: the model, the memory, the tools, the guards. Snap them together into an agent, swap any part later, and it can never take more than you gave it. Unicity Astrid OS slots in underneath the agent you already use.

Let your AI actually do things, without handing over the keys.

Plugins for Claude Code, Grok Build, and Codex — wired when those hosts are on the machine.

Waking Unicity Astrid OS up in this tab…

01

One small, dumb kernel

It routes events, enforces capabilities, and runs the sandbox. No business logic, no opinions. Replacing what your agent can do never means forking the OS.

02

Everything else is a capsule

The model, the loop, the memory, the tools, the skills, the frontends. Each one is sealed WebAssembly with its permissions declared up front. Swap any part, keep the machine.

03

Power that only narrows

Capabilities are signed tokens, not prompt instructions. A capsule can only hand its helpers less than it holds, never more. Every grant and denial lands on an audit chain you can read.

Assemble it like a loadout

Build your agent from parts. Swap any of them later.

Pick where it lives, start from an archetype, then mix and match capsules from the registry. Watch its manifest and its keys assemble as you go. The builder is a preview today; the capsules it is made of are real and on GitHub now.

The tour

Watch the whole machine run

The kernel, the capsules, the capability gate, the audit chain. Every element on that page is driven by the real kernel in your tab.

The book

Read it end to end

The canonical reference: kernel, capsules, the host ABI, the bus, and the security model. It ships with the OS.
