Webbee 🐝 — The Open-Source ICNLI Coding Agent

PyPI Python License: GPL v3 Docs

Webbee is the free, open-source terminal coding agent of Imperal Cloud (the ICNLI AI Cloud OS). It acts directly in your local terminal and workspace: reading, writing, editing, refactoring, and verifying code with deep code intelligence, native multimodal vision, and live cross-platform system capabilities.

Webbee is powered by ICNLI (Infrastructure Contextual Natural Language Interface — icnli.org), the open protocol that maps natural-language intent to context-aware infrastructure actions.

Open-Source Guarantee (GPLv3): Webbee belongs to the community. No locked silos, no hidden telemetry, no arbitrary execution barriers. The model proposes; the kernel evaluates; you hold the key.


🚀 Key Features

  • 🧠 Real Agentic AI Brain, Not a Chatbot: Reasons across your entire workspace, plans multi-step tasks, reads project architecture, executes terminal commands, and edits code safely.
  • 👁️ Native Multimodal Vision (view_image): Direct image inspection (UI mocks, diagrams, screenshots, graphs) for vision-capable models, with automatic graceful fallback to OCR and document extraction via File Reader.
  • 🌐 Integrated Web Search (web_search & read_url): Perform live web research and retrieve documentation directly in your terminal sessions via Imperal's system web-search extension — zero local API keys required.
  • 🛡️ Ironclad Safety & Reversibility: Built-in Shadow Git time-machine snapshots every workspace modification (checkpoint, diff, rollback). Revert any step instantly.
  • 🔌 Platform & Extension Arsenal: Seamless access to connected cloud extensions (Mail, Vikunja Tasks, Notes, Google Analytics, GitHub, Proxmox, Stripe, SSH Connections, and more).
  • ⚡ Lightning Fast & Memory-Efficient: Instant startup with granular lazy imports, configurable RAM limits (256MB to 8GB) with LRU eviction, and fail-soft permission handling.
  • 🖥️ First-Class Cross-Platform TUI: Beautiful, responsive terminal interface compatible with macOS (Terminal.app, iTerm2), Linux (Alacritty, Kitty, WezTerm), and Windows Terminal. Normalized 2-cell icon widths for pixel-perfect alignment.

📦 Installation

Install easily using pipx (recommended) or uv:

Inside the interactive terminal:

  • Speak naturally in English, Ukrainian, or any language you prefer.
  • Type /help to see all available slash-commands (/login, /mode, /status, /cost, /clear, /exit).
  • Use Shift + TAB to cycle execution modes:
    • default: Asks confirmation for major changes or destructive operations.
    • plan: Formulates an exhaustive execution strategy before touching any code.
    • autopilot: Autonomous mode for rapid prototyping and uninterrupted development runs.
