Plurnk

Plurnk is an agentic virtual machine and terminal client that runs model-curated context and composable tools.

Plurnk is an agentic operating system and programming language that lets models control context, memory, and delegation. Each turn, the model writes a short program that runs against an addressable environment, and the machine journals the results. It indexes entire repositories on entry, enabling exploration via regex, XPath, JSONPath, full text, and symbol queries. It supports local or cloud models, MCP for external tools, and A2A for remote agents. The package provides a CLI and interactive terminal client that connects to a daemon service.
