 - Ports derive from the worktree path and are stable across restarts, but read the real ones from the `[dev-runner]` line since occupied ports shift.
 - Sharing over the tailnet is three steps: run `vp run dev --share` in the background, wait for the `pairingUrl:` line in its output, then give that full URL to an unpaired browser. Do not wire up `tailscale serve` by hand, open the URL yourself, or consume the user's pairing link. A browser with the reusable dev cookie can use the bare origin. If a normal one-time token was consumed, mint a fresh one with `node apps/server/src/bin.ts pair`. It carries standard scopes, while the startup URL carries admin scopes needed for Connections settings.
 - To reuse web dev auth across worktrees, configure one fixed `T3CODE_DEV_AUTH_TOKEN` in the main checkout's gitignored `.env`. The `t3.json` setup links that file into worktrees. Never commit or publish the token or a startup URL. See [Reusable dev credential](docs/operations/development.md#reusable-dev-credential).
-- Stop what you started, by the PID you tracked. See rule 1.
+- Stop what you started, by the PID you tracked. See rule 1. `vp` does not pass SIGTERM on, so signalling the `vp run dev` PID alone leaves Vite and the server running. Stop the background task with your harness's own stop, which ends the whole tree.

Do not detach them with `systemd-run`, `nohup`, `setsid`, or `tmux` unless the user asks for one that outlives the session. Detached servers ran for weeks and filled RAM and swap. The dev runner stops itself above `--memory-limit-gb` (half of RAM, at most 16 GiB) on Linux.

-T3 Code is an "agent harness control surface". It enables control of the agents on your machine with a best-in-class mobile app ([iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/t3-code-remote-claude-more/id6787819824), [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t3tools.t3code)), [web app](https://app.t3.codes) and [Electron-based desktop app](https://t3.codes).

-Works with your subscriptions on Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok Build, OpenCode, Google Antigravity, and fx. If they're set up on your computer, T3 Code can control them.

-## "Wait, what are you selling me?"
+<p align="center">The open-source control plane for coding agents.</p>
 
-Nothing. We built T3 Code because we wanted the best possible development experience with agents. We were inspired by existing solutions like the Codex desktop app, Conductor, Claude Desktop and Cursor Glass, but none met our bar.

-## Installation
+T3 Code runs the coding agents on your machine and gives them one fast interface. Start a thread at your desk, then approve the next step from your phone.
 
-> [!WARNING]
-> T3 Code currently supports Codex, Claude, Cursor, Grok Build, OpenCode, Antigravity, and fx. Install and authenticate at least one provider before use:
->
-> - Codex: install [Codex CLI](https://developers.openai.com/codex/cli) and run `codex login`
-> - Claude: install [Claude Code](https://claude.com/product/claude-code) and run `claude auth login`
-> - Cursor: install [Cursor CLI](https://cursor.com/cli) and run `agent login`
-> - Grok Build: install [Grok Build CLI](https://x.ai/cli) and run `grok login`
-> - OpenCode: install [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai) and run `opencode auth login`
-> - Antigravity: enable it in Settings, then use **Install Antigravity** and **Sign in with Google**. No CLI is required.
-> - fx: install [fx](https://fx.sh) and run `fx login` on the machine running the T3 Code server ([setup guide](./docs/user/providers-fx.md))
+It works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Grok Build, Antigravity, Kiro, Pi, Muse Code, fx, and any [ACP](./docs/user/providers-acp.md) agent. If an agent is set up on your computer, T3 Code can control it.
 
-### Command line
+## What you get
 
-```bash
-curl -fsSL https://t3.codes/install.sh | sh
-```
+- **Your subscriptions.** T3 Code does not resell tokens. It drives the agents you are already signed in to.
+- **Every agent in one place.** Change models in the middle of a thread. Let Claude hand a task to Codex.
+- **Desktop, web, and phone.** One server, and every client shows the same threads. There are apps for iOS and Android.
+- **Remote ready.** Run agents on any machine. Connect over your local network, Tailscale, or [T3 Connect](./docs/user/remote-access.md).
+- **Git built in.** Each thread can work in its own worktree. Review the diff, then commit, push, and open a pull request with one button.
+- **Fast.** Performance is a feature here. We measure it, and we treat a dropped frame as a bug.
+- **Open.** MIT licensed. If you don't like something, fork it.
 
-On Windows, in PowerShell:
-
-```powershell
-irm https://t3.codes/install.ps1 | iex
-```
-
-Then run `t3` to start the server and open the local web app. `t3 service install` keeps it running in the background, `t3 update` moves to a newer release, and `t3 --help` has the full reference.
-
-To try it once without installing, run `npx t3@latest`. It offers to install the `t3` command for you.
+## Install
 
 ### Desktop app
 
-Install the latest version of the desktop app from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/releases), or from your favorite package registry:

-```bash
-winget install T3Tools.T3Code
-```
-
-#### Windows (`scoop`)
-
-```bash
-scoop install extras/t3code
-```
-
-#### macOS (Homebrew)
-
-```bash
-brew install --cask t3-code
-```
-
-#### Debian, Ubuntu (`.deb`)
+### Command line
 
-Download the `.deb` from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/releases), then:
+This installs the `t3` command. Run `t3` to start the server and open the web app.
 
 ```bash
-sudo apt install ./T3-Code-*.deb
+curl -fsSL https://t3.codes/install.sh | sh
 ```
 
-#### Arch Linux (AUR)
-
-Stable:
+On Windows, in PowerShell:
 
-```bash
-yay -S t3code-bin
+```powershell
+irm https://t3.codes/install.ps1 | iex
 ```
 
-Nightly:
+To try it once without an install, run `npx t3@latest`.
 
-```bash
-yay -S t3code-nightly-bin
-```
+### Phone
 
-The AUR packaging is maintained in this repository under [`packaging/aur`](./packaging/aur).
+Get the app from the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/t3-code-remote-claude-more/id6787819824) or [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t3tools.t3code). Then follow [remote access](./docs/user/remote-access.md) to connect it to your computer.
 
-#### Nix (nixpkgs)
+### Sign in to an agent
 
-```bash
-nix profile add github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable#t3code
-```
+T3 Code needs one agent that is installed and signed in. For example, install [Claude Code](https://claude.com/product/claude-code) and run `claude auth login`, or install [Codex CLI](https://developers.openai.com/codex/cli) and run `codex login`.
 
-The package is maintained in [nixpkgs](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/nixos-unstable/pkgs/by-name/t3/t3code)
-and includes the desktop app (`t3code-desktop`) and the `t3` command.
-See [Nix installation](./docs/user/install.md#nix-nixpkgs) for NixOS configuration and updates.
+[Provider setup](./docs/user/install.md#providers) has the steps for each agent. [Install T3 Code](./docs/user/install.md) covers nightly builds, AppImage, WSL, and NixOS.
 
-## Some notes
+## "Wait, what are you selling me?"
 
-We are very very early in this project. Expect bugs.
+Nothing. We built T3 Code because we wanted the best possible development experience with agents. We were inspired by existing solutions like the Codex desktop app, Conductor, Claude Desktop and Cursor Glass, but none met our bar.
 
-We are (mostly) not accepting contributions yet. Small fixes may be considered. Big features will not be.
+We wanted something performant, remote-ready, and truly open. If we ever go the wrong direction, we want you to have everything you need to fork and build the tool that you want.

 To replace it, commit the fork changes, run `yarn install --immutable` and `yarn workspace react-native-enriched-markdown prepare` in the fork checkout, then `node scripts/pack-t3.mjs /path/to/t3code/apps/mobile/deps`. Keep the package version aligned with Julius's `fork/t3-mobile` branch. Rename the archive to include the first eight characters of the source commit, such as `react-native-enriched-markdown-1.2.0-t3.18-4287c5d3.tgz`, so each build has a distinct dependency path without version bumps. Update the tarball path in `apps/mobile/package.json` and `pnpm-workspace.yaml`'s `allowBuilds`, and run `vp i` to update the lockfile. Native clients need rebuilding when this dependency changes.

Provide a clear, specific prompt that includes your intent: a detailed task description of the context you need and what you're trying to accomplish. 2. The subagent explores the codebase and returns an analysis of your query 3. Trust the returned results. You may still inspect additional code yourself when you need context beyond what was returned. 4. Reuse existing context-gatherer output for related follow-up questions; do not re-invoke on the same question with different phrasing. 5.

Call link_pull_request with the full PR URL immediately after creating a PR or starting work on an existing PR. For a stack, call it for every layer, not just the current branch or the top PR. This applies when creating or updating PRs through gh, gh stack, another CLI, or the host API: those operations do not register the PRs with this thread. Linking an already-linked PR is safe. Before finishing PR work, call list_thread_pull_requests and link any PR from your work that is missing. Do not link unrelated PRs mentioned only as background. If a linking call fails, report that failure instead of claiming the PR is linked. When asked to monitor, watch, or babysit a PR and watch_pull_request is available, call it and end your turn: T3 Code wakes you when checks finish, someone else comments, or the branch conflicts, so do not poll or run your own watcher. When you hand the work back to the user, call unwatch_pull_request first so the thread returns to their inbox.\n</pull_request_linking>"},"_meta":{"kiro":{"userMessageTag":"prompt_00000000-0000-4000-9000-000000000005","messageId":"00000000-0000-4000-9000-000000000001","timestamp":"2026-10-19T20:48:11.510Z","replay":true}}}}}}

The subagent explores the codebase and returns an analysis of your query 3. Trust the returned results. You may still inspect additional code yourself when you need context beyond what was returned. 4. Reuse existing context-gatherer output for related follow-up questions; do not re-invoke on the same question with different phrasing. 5.

Use it to understand code before you change it: before designing or implementing a change to code you don't already fully understand, start with context-gatherer so your edits are grounded in how the code actually works. When a task requires understanding code you don't already know, dispatch context-gatherer to do that exploration before running your own searches or reads. Rules: 1. Provide a clear, specific prompt that includes your intent: a detailed task description of the context you need and what you're trying to accomplish. 2. The subagent explores the codebase and returns an analysis of your query 3. Trust the returned results. You may still inspect additional code yourself when you need context beyond what was returned. 4. Reuse existing context-gatherer output for related follow-up questions; do not re-invoke on the same question with different phrasing. 5. For multiple distinct questions, dispatch several context-gatherers in parallel, each targeting a different aspect of the codebase.","input":{"hint":"task to delegate"},"_meta":{"kiro":{"type":"custom-agent","commandId":"context-gatherer","resource":{"resourceType":"agent","source":{"origin":"bundled"}},"originalName":"context-gatherer"}}}]}}}}

+## Update feed
+
+A nightly install finds the newest nightly in up to three places.
+
+- `releases.atom` lists the 10 newest git tags in the repository, of any kind, and a day's
+  `preview` tags can sort above its `nightly` ones. Every install reads it first and takes its first
+  nightly entry. Nightlies before `0.1.10-nightly.20261112.4603`, and stable `0.1.9` and older
+  switched to the nightly channel, read nothing else. Ten other tags in a row hide every nightly
+  from them.
+- `releases/download/update-feed/nightly.json` names the newest nightly. Installs that know the
+  pointer read it after the feed and take the newer of the two, so their updates do not depend on
+  tag order. The `update-feed` release holds that file. Never delete it.
+- The GitHub REST API, without auth, at 60 requests per hour per IP. Installs from `4603` on scan
+  it when the feed has no nightly. Installs that know the pointer do so only when the pointer also
+  offers nothing new.
+
+The release workflow's `Check the update feed` job runs on every scheduled tick, unless
+`PAUSE_NIGHTLY` is set, and after every nightly. It waits in the same queue as nightlies and
+previews. It rewrites a missing or outdated pointer. Its last step fails when the first nightly
+in the feed is not the newest one. A feed it could not read is only a warning: that says nothing
+about the tags, and the next tick reads it again.
+
+When that step fails, installs that read only the feed cannot reach the newest nightly. If the
+feed still names an older nightly first, installs from `4603` up to the first build with the
+pointer miss it too, because their API scan runs only when the feed has no nightly at all. The job
+log lists the tags in the feed. The usual cause is a preview dispatched from a branch that was not
+rebased onto `main`. Delete the tags nothing needs with `git push origin :refs/tags/<tag>`.
+Converting a release to a draft keeps its tag, so it does not help. To keep this from happening,
+anything users should not be offered stays a draft or uses one rolling tag, like `desktop-preview`.
+
+To pull a bad nightly, delete its release and tag, then run
+`gh release delete-asset update-feed nightly.json`. Installs fall back to the feed until the next
+unpaused tick or manual nightly rewrites the pointer. Without that command, installs that know the
+pointer report an update error until then. If npm's `nightly` dist-tag still names the pulled
+build, also move it to the last good one with `npm dist-tag add t3@<version> nightly`. The channel
+switch in Settings reads that tag and refuses an older desktop build.

-T3 Code drives Claude through Anthropic's Agent SDK. I confirmed it's a real bug on Anthropic's side: all Agent SDK usage will drain your 5h limits faster than using Claude Code directly. To be clear: this does not affect weekly limits. We have reported it to Anthropic and are hoping for a fix soon. [My post on it](https://x.com/theo/status/2114166439813017873)
+It shouldn't anymore. T3 Code drives Claude through Anthropic's Agent SDK, and Anthropic's 5h meter used to charge Agent SDK usage about 1.7x more than using Claude Code directly. Weekly limits were never affected. Since v0.1.7, Claude in T3 Code drains your 5h limit at the same rate as Claude Code. Still seeing it? [Update T3 Code](./updating.md) on the machine that runs your agents.

+Some MCP servers return an interactive app with their tool results, following the [MCP Apps](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps) standard. When an agent calls one of those tools, the app appears in the thread below the tool call, on web, desktop, and mobile. The tool call keeps its input and result, so you can still read them when an app shows nothing. Codex and Claude support this today, for any MCP server you have configured for them. Claude needs Claude Code 2.1.301 or newer; older versions and other providers show these calls as ordinary tool calls.
 
 Apps follow your theme. An app can call tools on its own server and post a message to the thread; T3 Code asks first unless the server marks the tool as read-only, and it asks before every message. On mobile, an app also asks before opening a link, and T3 Code asks before saving a file an app offers. An app stays viewable after its agent stops, but using it needs the agent of the thread that created it running, so send a message in that thread first if the app says it is unavailable. An app that navigates away from its own page is stopped.

+- `setup`: the fake thread, its `world` (repo, branch, files, PRs, pages), `priorTurns`, and `mocks` for tool results. With `world.backgroundTasks`, `t3_background_wait` answers from T3's own handler and ThreadManagementService, so its result and errors are the checkout's; a prior wait with `"result": "default"` gets that result too.
 - `setup.priorTurns[].toolCalls[].resultFile`: load a repository-relative file as the tool result instead of copying its contents into the case. An empty `prompt` resumes a top-level thread after its last prior tool result without adding a user message. Side-chat and subagent setups require a nonempty prompt.
 - `expect`: the checks, such as `calls`, `callsMustNot`, `maxCalls`, `order`, `shellMust`, `textMust`, `finalTextMust` (the last text, once the turn ended), and `linked`. A call's `args` match partially: `~text` is a case-insensitive substring, `"<=N"` / `">=N"` bound a number, `null` matches a missing key, and keys may be dotted paths. Device cases also use `device` to check every child brief, forbid raw UI commands, bound failed device actions per user turn, and require artifact paths in completed final answers. Secrets cases use `secret` (see [Secrets cases](#secrets-cases)).
