Agent Native Toolkit for Monoco - Task Management & Kanban for AI Agents

Monoco Distro

The Headless Operating System for Agentic Engineering.

Monoco is a Linux-like Distribution for AI Agents. It provides the Package Manager, Init System, and Policy Kit that turns a raw LLM Kernel into a production-ready engineering workforce.

---

🐧 The "Distro" Metaphor

Monoco is built on a clear separation of concerns, inspired by the Linux ecosystem:

Component	In Linux	In Monoco	Responsibility
Kernel	Linux Kernel	Kimi CLI / Kosong	The raw execution engine. Handles LLM prompts, tool execution, and process isolation.
Distro	Ubuntu / Arch	Monoco	The system manager. Orchestrates workflows, enforces policies, manages state (Issues), and installs capabilities (Skills).
Desktop	GNOME / KDE	VSCode / Zed	The user interface. Connects to Monoco via standard protocols (LSP, ACP) to provide a visual experience.

🌟 Core Philosophy

1. Headless & Protocol-First

Monoco is designed to run silently in the background. It doesn't fight for your attention with a chat window. Instead, it exposes its state via LSP (Language Server Protocol) and ACP (Agent Client Protocol), allowing your favorite IDEs to become "Agent-Native".

2. Issue is the Unit of Work

Just as systemd manages Units, Monoco manages Issues. An Issue is not just a text file; it is a stateful object that defines the lifecycle of a task. The Agent cannot "freelance"—it must be assigned to an active Issue.

3. Governance as Code

Monoco acts as the "Policy Kit" for your AI workforce.

• Guardrails: Prevent destructive actions.
• Verification: Enforce linting and tests before submission.
• Audit: Log every decision and tool call.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Installation

Install the Monoco Distro via pip:

pip install monoco-toolkit

2. Initialize System

Turn your project into a Monoco-managed workspace:

monoco init

3. Sync Kernel

Inject Monoco's policies into your Agent Kernel (e.g., Kimi CLI configuration):

monoco sync

4. Start a Session

Launch the Monoco Daemon to begin orchestrating work:

monoco session start

🛠️ Tech Stack & Architecture

• Kernel Interface: Python (Interfacing with Kimi/Kosong)
• Distro Logic: Python (State Management, Issue Tracking)
• Protocols: LSP / ACP (for IDE integration)
• Storage: Local Filesystem (Markdown/YAML)

📁 Project Structure

Monoco follows a "Distro" architecture that separates State (Issues/), Config (.monoco/), and Logic (monoco/).

For a detailed breakdown of the directory structure, see TREE.md.

🤝 Contributing

Monoco is open-source. We are building the standard distribution for the Agentic era.
