@try_aster now supports Agent Plugins, the portable plugin standard adopted by @vercel_dev, @kirodotdev, @cursor_ai, @github, @Microsoft, and @OpenAI.
One folder, any client. A plugin published for ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Kiro, or VS Code installs into Aster unchanged.
$ aster plugins add owner/repo
The portable format only carries Skills and MCP servers.
Everything else Aster gives you is native: 18 built-in skills, sub-agents, project memory, and a policy sandbox around every command.
Introducing Agent Plugins, an open standard for extending agents.
Supports Agent Skills and MCP, with more to come.

Aster has a YOLO mode.
/yolo drops every guardrail. Any path, full network,
no confirmations. The screen burns down in a shockwave,
the whole UI turns red, and it stays red until you
leave.
You will not forget which mode you are in.

@try_aster Started out as a CodeReview agent but now its already a harness for agents working in a codebase.
It gives agents everything they need to work effectively: the model you choose, the right context, local retrieval, durable memory, skills, agent definitions, and controlled access to tools.
Aster is model-agnostic, supporting any OpenAI-compatible provider, and self-hostable without requiring a vector database or hosted control plane.
