Native tool-calling
A typed tool registry over the Vercel AI SDK — multi-step, with tool errors fed back for self-correction.
The coding agent
that lives in your
terminal.
interference reads your code, edits files and runs commands through an agentic loop — with explicit permissions and a read-only Plan mode. No editor lock-in. Just the terminal.
/ 01 — the loop
An agent loop you can watch and trust.
-
01
You ask
Describe a task in plain language. interference plans before it touches anything.
-
02
It calls tools
read · ls · glob · grep · webfetchto explore,write · edit · bash · taskto act — multi-step, streamed live. -
03
You stay in control
Every mutating action is gated by allow / ask / deny. Approve with a diff in front of you.
-
04
Undo anything
Sessions are persisted and snapshotted. Roll back a change the agent made, instantly.
mode · read-only
Plan
The agent explores and reasons — never writes. Perfect for understanding a codebase or scoping a change before committing to it.
- Filesystem read & search only
- Cites
file:lineevidence - Zero side effects
mode · full access
Build
The agent writes files, applies atomic edits and runs commands — each behind your permission rules, with destructive actions denied by default.
- Atomic
edit(unique-match) - Sandboxed paths, timed
bash - Approve-with-preview
/ 02 — what's inside
Small surface. Serious capability.
Permissions by design
allow / ask / deny rules enforced in code, not in the prompt. The model can't talk its way past them.
A real TUI
Streaming output, spinners and live tool steps in a flicker-free terminal interface built with Ink.
Sessions & undo
Resume where you left off. Snapshots before every mutation mean undo/redo on the agent's edits.
Cost transparency
See exactly what you’re spending on API calls — live, per-request, in your terminal. No hidden usage, no surprise bills.
Bun-fast
Runtime, test runner, and package manager — one toolchain, zero config. Starts instantly.
38 built-in skills
Domain-specific agent skills (AWS, Rust, SwiftUI, NestJS, Docker, ...) auto-detected by keyword matching or invoked explicitly via /skill-name.
Subagents
Delegate complex multi-step tasks to isolated agents. Explore (read-only) and General (full) types, with permission inheritance.
Slash commands + autocomplete
/help · /clear · /undo · /redo · /init · /model · /plan · /build · /compact · /sessions · /rename. Fuzzy autocomplete on /.
/ 03 — why interference
Not just another agent.
01
European, by choice
Built in Italy. Open-source, MIT licensed, not VC-funded. Your code never leaves your machine unless you explicitly send it to an API. An independent, GDPR-native alternative to Silicon Valley agents.
02
Radically transparent
Every tool call, every reasoning step, and exactly what you’re spending on API costs — live, in your terminal. No hidden usage. No surprise bills.
/ 04 — quickstart
In your terminal in a minute.
bun install -g interference-agent
Then run interference. Add keys with /provider on first launch.
