Crowe Logic

The agent console for the terminal. One command, a real tool loop, and a model table that names the engine beside every tier.

crowe runs as an interactive console or as a single prompt. It carries its own tool registry, reads and edits files, runs shell commands under an autonomy level you set, searches the web, and streams answers with live progress. Sign in with Crowe ID for hosted access. The free plan offers CroweLM Flash at twenty turns a day; model availability depends on the account plan or the provider credentials configured for a self-managed installation. The console checks for updates once a day; crowe update checks on demand.

0.11.0rc1 preview: steer the agent while it works

This is an opt-in release candidate, not the stable channel. Try it in an isolated environment without replacing your installed stable version:

uvx --from 'crowe-logic==0.11.0rc1' crowe
uvx --from 'crowe-logic==0.11.0rc1' crowe-logic chat

• Type a correction while the workspace is working, then press Enter to queue it.
• Escape, Ctrl+C, or /stop pauses at a safe boundary; an active operation may finish first.
• Ctrl+X returns queued text to the composer for editing.
• Ctrl+G searches models, engines and hosts; Ctrl+B opens tool evidence.
• Inline chat offers numbered receipts through /inspect and checkpoint-aware /retry.
• Saved conversations retain their selected model variant and interruption warnings.

Tool checkpoints are kept in the current process, not restored after a restart. The full-screen workspace supports macOS and Linux terminals; Windows users should use inline chat, and Windows parity has not been verified for this preview.

Install

pip install crowe-logic

This installs two commands, crowe and crowe-logic, which are the same program; the long name stays so nothing installed before the rename breaks. An npm wrapper exists for Node shops and runs the same pip install for you:

npm i -g crowe-logic

First run

crowe                # the console, on the free tier
crowe login          # sign in with Crowe ID; paid tiers appear in /model
crowe run "prompt"   # one prompt, one answer, exit

Inside a session the five commands a new user needs are /model, /effort, /autonomy, /tools and /help. /replay N reruns a previous turn and /fork N discards later turns before rerunning it, so recovery does not require re-explaining project context.

For difficult decisions, operators with an OpenAI-compatible local Astra bridge can opt in with CROWE_LOGIC_ASTRA_REASON=1, then use /reasoning-engine on. That adds an independent astra_reason opinion only for consequential analysis and difficult debugging. It is off by default, context is redacted for common credential forms before it leaves the process, and /reasoning-engine off disables it for the active session.

Reasoning is hidden by default in CLI, TUI, and PUI. Use /reasoning on for provider diagnostic reasoning where supported, /reasoning off to hide it, or bare /reasoning to toggle. PUI keeps its working indicator rather than printing raw reasoning. CLI dual panes follow the same setting. Token counts and progress remain available while reasoning is hidden. /transcript also honors this setting; hiding reasoning does not erase stored diagnostics. An explicit CROWE_LOGIC_SHOW_REASONING=on (legacy: CROWELM_SHOW_REASONING) opts in at startup; the session command takes precedence. This is a display setting, not a change to model effort or a guarantee of fewer reasoning tokens.

Models

/model lists every tier with the engine it runs on, grouped:

Pick by number or name (/model zenith, /model 2). /effort normal|high|max moves within a family. Crowe Logic does not train the frontier engines; what makes a tier CroweLM is the routing, the grounding in Crowe's knowledge base, the tools and the orchestration on top. Ask any tier what it runs on and it answers plainly. The tier names stay put when an engine moves, so your pins and scripts do not have to.

Sign-in and plans

The CroweLM tiers run through your Crowe ID at id.crowelogic.com. The free tier has no card and no keys. Pro is $99 a month for the whole table, every effort rung, dual mode and synthesis, and the desktop and web apps on the same sign-in. crowe upgrade opens checkout; crowe billing opens the customer portal; crowe whoami shows the signed-in identity and tier.

The frontier picks and any self-hosted endpoint run on keys you hold: crowe init --node writes the env template.

Usage

crowe                # interactive console (default)
crowe run "prompt"   # one prompt, one answer, exit
crowe login          # sign in with Crowe ID
crowe whoami         # signed-in identity and tier
crowe upgrade        # open Pro checkout
crowe billing        # open the customer portal
crowe doctor         # check the install and its connections
crowe tools          # list the tool registry
crowe update         # update now (the console also does this daily)

Bring your own keys

The CroweLM tiers need only your Crowe ID. The frontier picks, and any endpoint you host yourself, run on keys you hold. crowe init --node writes ~/.crowe-logic.env with the variables below; fill in the ones you use.

Extra model entries load from CROWE_LOGIC_EXTRA_MODELS_JSON, CROWE_LOGIC_EXTRA_MODELS_PATH, or ~/.config/crowe-logic/models.extra.json.

MCP server

The Crowe Logic platform is also available as a standalone MCP server for any MCP client:

uvx crowe-logic-mcp

The bundled crowe-logic-quantum-mcp server needs the mcp extra:

pip install "crowe-logic[mcp]"

Specialized agents

Local telemetry

Crowe keeps a local record of what the console did: which tools ran and how long they took, which tier and provider answered, token counts, timings, and session events. It does not keep your prompts, the replies, or the contents of your files. Tool arguments are cut to 200 characters, and the values of content, text, and data arguments are dropped, with only their lengths recorded.

The record is a JSON-lines file at ~/.crowe-logic/runtime/telemetry.jsonl, created with owner-only permissions and rotated at 50 MB. It stays on your machine; the console never uploads it. Nothing is written until the first event, so crowe --version touches nothing under your home directory. To turn it off, set CROWE_LOGIC_TELEMETRY=0 (false, no, and off also work).

Requirements

• Python 3.10 or newer on macOS, Linux or Windows.
• A Crowe ID for the paid tiers; nothing for the free tier.
