Crow

An Agent Development Environment (ADE) for building, running, and improving autonomous coding agents.

Status: In active development. Phase 0 complete (ACP server, iterative refinement, task pipeline). See ROADMAP.md for what's next.

What is Crow?

Crow is NOT just an ACP server, NOT just an IDE. It's a complete environment where:

• Humans plan in a journal (Logseq-inspired knowledge base)
• Humans + agents prime the environment together (pair programming)
• Autonomous agents work in the primed environment (read journal → write code → document decisions)
• Humans review in the journal and provide feedback
• Knowledge accumulates and agents get better over time

Quick Start

Installation

cd crow
uv sync

Run the ACP Server

python -m crow.agent.acp_server

The server will listen on stdin/stdout for JSON-RPC messages following the ACP protocol.

Run Iterative Refinement

python task_pipeline.py --plan-file PLAN.md

This will:

1. Split PLAN.md into tasks
2. Run each task through iterative refinement (planning → implementation → critique)
3. Track progress and results

Documentation

• DESIGN.md - Vision, architecture, and design decisions
• CURRENT_STATE.md - Analysis of current code and what needs fixing
• ROADMAP.md - Development phases and timeline
• AGENTS.md - Project-specific knowledge for agents
• REFACTOR_PLAN.md - Original refactor plan (superseded by ROADMAP.md)

Features

Current (Phase 0 - Complete)

• ✅ ACP Server - Streaming ACP server wrapping OpenHands SDK
• ✅ Iterative Refinement - Planning → Implementation → Critique → Documentation loop
• ✅ Task Pipeline - Split PLAN.md into tasks, run sequentially
• ✅ MCP Integration - playwright, zai-vision, fetch, web_search
• ✅ Session Management - Multiple concurrent sessions with persistence
• ✅ Slash Commands - /help, /clear, /status

In Progress (Phase 1-3)

• 🚧 Restructure - Moving files from root to src/crow/
• 📋 Jinja2 Templates - Replace hardcoded prompts with templates
• 📋 Environment Priming - Human + agent pair programming before autonomous phase

Planned (Phase 4-8)

• 📋 Project Management - /projects/ directory, git repos, journals
• 📋 Journal Page - Logseq-inspired knowledge base
• 📋 Web UI - CodeBlitz/Monaco integration
• 📋 Feedback Loops - Capture human feedback, feed to agents
• 📋 Telemetry - Self-hosted Laminar/Langfuse

The Problem We're Solving

Current AI coding tools:

• ❌ Drop agents into empty workspaces (no context)
• ❌ Lose agent decisions in markdown files ("lost like tears in rain")
• ❌ No feedback loop (human review not captured)
• ❌ No knowledge accumulation

Our solution:

• ✅ Environment priming - Human + agent set up context first
• ✅ Journal - All decisions documented and linked
• ✅ Feedback loops - Human review captured and fed back
• ✅ Knowledge accumulation - Agents get better over time
