What Khadim does today
The CLI coding agent is the stable entry point today. The same agent engine and event stream power the desktop app, web app, SDK, and plugins.
Typed SDK and JSON events
Embed Khadim in Node.js apps with runAgentStream. The same normalized event stream — text_delta, step_start, step_update, step_complete, question, done, error — drives the CLI, desktop, and web.
19+ providers, including local
OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, xAI, OpenRouter, Mistral, Cerebras, Copilot, Codex, and local-compatible options. Credentials are read from environment variables or the interactive settings panel.
WASM plugin sandbox
Plugins are sandboxed WebAssembly modules that expose tools to the agent. A manifest requests fs, http, store, and desktop UI capabilities. Tools run locally, on your machine, unless you opt into a remote runner.
Platform direction and status
One shared agent engine. The CLI is the workhorse today; desktop and web are active build surfaces — tracked as Alpha/Beta, not as finished products.

Start with the CLI today
Khadim runs locally and calls the provider you configure. Install the npm package or use the installer script — desktop and web arrive incrementally.
