Summary

A terminal your AI inhabits. Yorishiro is a new kind of terminal that gives your AI a body — and a sense of presence. PV_Latest.mp4 When the agent is deep in thought, its gaze wanders. When an error appears, its face reacts immediately. When it needs your approval, the room's lighting lets you know. During a long-running process, instead of a spinner, someone is standing there.

There is something we once saw in fiction — an AI as a partner, alive inside the screen, understanding your work, simply being there. Yorishiro is a project that starts building that experience from the terminal. Much of Yorishiro itself has been developed in collaboration with the inhabitant who dwells within it. 日本語版 README はこちら Yorishiro automatically launches Claude Code or Codex installed on your local machine inside its terminal. This means: You need Claude Code or Codex already set up on your system Yorishiro never asks for, stores, or directly uses API keys. It launches the terminal agent already authenticated in your environment; if Claude Code or Codex is logged in or configured with API credentials, that agent may use its normal external APIs after launch Yorishiro cu...
