C.A.D.I.S.

Coordinated Agentic Distributed Intelligence System

Local-first multi-agent runtime for desktop work, native tools, approvals, voice, and isolated coding workflows.

_{C.A.D.I.S. HUD: local daemon status, orbital agents, voice I/O, model routing, and approval-aware desktop control.}

C.A.D.I.S. is a Rust-first, local-first, model-agnostic runtime where one daemon (cadisd) owns all agent orchestration, tool policy, and approval state. CLI, HUD, voice, and future surfaces are protocol clients — not separate backends.

Installation

npm (all platforms)

npm install -g @growthcircle/cadis

Shell (Linux / macOS)

curl -fsSL https://github.com/Growth-Circle/cadis/releases/latest/download/cadis-$(uname -m | sed 's/arm64/aarch64/')-$([ "$(uname)" = "Darwin" ] && echo apple-darwin || echo unknown-linux-gnu) -o cadis

chmod +x cadis cadisd
sudo mv cadis cadisd /usr/local/bin/

PowerShell (Windows)

$cadisDir = "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\cadis"; New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $cadisDir | Out-Null
Invoke-WebRequest "https://github.com/Growth-Circle/cadis/releases/latest/download/cadis-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.exe" -OutFile "$cadisDir\cadis.exe"
Invoke-WebRequest "https://github.com/Growth-Circle/cadis/releases/latest/download/cadisd-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.exe" -OutFile "$cadisDir\cadisd.exe"
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "$cadisDir;$([Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User'))", "User")

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/Growth-Circle/cadis.git && cd cadis
cargo build --release    # requires Rust 1.75+

Verify

cadis --version
cadisd --check

Quick start

# Start the daemon
cadisd

# In another terminal
cadis status          # daemon health
cadis doctor          # diagnostics
cadis models          # available models
cadis agents          # running agents
cadis chat "hello"    # talk to an agent

Windows: the daemon uses TCP by default (127.0.0.1:7433). You can also start it explicitly with cadisd --tcp-port 7433 and use cadis --tcp status.

Features

• Daemon-owned runtime — cadisd is the single authority for agents, tools, policy, and state
• Multi-agent orchestration — main orchestrator + specialist agents + isolated code workers
• Native tool runtime — file, git, shell, and workspace tools with approval gates
• Policy and approvals — risk classification, audit trails, and expiry-checked approval state
• Model-agnostic — Ollama, OpenAI API, and Codex CLI adapters with native streaming
• Voice I/O — Edge TTS output + Whisper transcription input via the HUD
• Desktop HUD — Tauri + React orbital interface with model routing and agent control
• Avatar engine — renderer-neutral Wulan identity/presence/expression contract
• Cross-platform — Linux, macOS, and Windows with TCP transport fallback

Model provider setup

Default mode is auto: tries Ollama at http://127.0.0.1:11434, then falls back to a local credential-free response. For OpenAI, set CADIS_OPENAI_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY. For ChatGPT Plus/Pro via Codex CLI:

codex login

[model]
provider = "codex-cli"
