Everything is a stream. In Unix, "everything is a file" was always really "everything is a stream": stdin, stdout, and the pipe. Today we're launching Ante v0.2.0: our first numbered SemVer release, stabilizing the wire protocol that decouples the agent engine from the interface. 🧵👇

The UI and prompts belong to the user. Most coding agents lock you into their terminal, their window, or their proprietary IDE. They treat the interface as their moat. We take the opposite stance: we are there to serve.

Plugins at the surface. Streams at the seams. UI and prompts are where the user is the oracle: instant feedback, infinite malleability. The agent core is brutal to verify: eval sweeps burning billions of tokens. Don't fuse them together. Plugin the surface. Protect the plugged.

`ante serve`: we are literally there to serve. Ante runs headless across stdio, local Unix domain sockets, and WebSockets: • Operations go in (prompts, tool approvals, interrupts) • Events come out (token deltas, tool activity, diff previews)

1. Build your own coding agent harness (`mini-tui`) Because the UI belongs to you, Ante's `mini-tui` is a one-file Rust client: streaming tokens, inline tool lifecycle, interactive y/n approvals, and Esc interrupt. github.com/AntigmaLabs/ante/…

2. Integrate with your IDE or orchestrator (`ante-acp`) Editors like Zed and JetBrains talk Agent Client Protocol (ACP). `ante-acp` maps ACP requests directly to Ante's engine over stdio. Live diffs and native permission dialogs—without modifying the core engine (WIP in repo). github.com/AntigmaLabs/ante/…

3. Build your own claw-like personal assistant (`ante-gateway`) Run Ante as a multi-channel bot in Slack and Discord over a shared Unix socket. Every thread or DM gets an isolated session. In-chat approvals (yes/no), task stops, and workspace controls. Your team owns chat; Ante serves the run. github.com/AntigmaLabs/ante/…
