guilds.run

guilds.run runs standing teams of AI agents you can inspect.

A guild is a team of agents. Each agent has a role, a model, and tools. The team shares a chat, notes, and collections of records. Every run keeps the prompt the model saw, every tool call, and every memory change.

You need Docker. Run three commands:

git clone https://github.com/CigaleAI/guilds.git && cd guilds
./setup.sh
docker compose up --detach --wait

Open http://127.0.0.1:8080/. Paste an API key from a model provider. Build your first guild.

Three pages walk you through it, in order:

1. Install
2. Connect a model
3. Your first guild

Then one short page each:

• Add a routine wakes the agent on a schedule.
• Give it web search lets agents search the web.
• Save a recipe saves the guild as one file and applies it again.
• Add a coding agent gives the guild an agent that writes code with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Antigravity.

guilds.run keeps a long-running team of agents inspectable, customizable, and shareable as one file. Philosophy says why.

These pages are also published at docs.guilds.run.

• Configure — .env, images, how the box is reached, limits, error reporting
• Remote access — reach the box from another computer
• Maintain — what runs, update, back up, restore, logs, error messages
• Changelog — each version, and what a running box does with it

How the product works, for the operator. Start with How it fits together.

People

• Users — accounts, sign-in
• Instance admin — the Admin page
• Organisations — members, roles, what an organisation owns
• Operators — the people a guild works for
• Inbox — issues agents raise for an operator
• Model keys — providers, the welcome dialog, which models an organisation offers

Teams

• Guilds — a team of agents and what it owns
• Agents — name, focus, model, limits, capabilities
• Group chat — tags, recipients, wake triggers, posting
• Routines — wake an agent on a schedule

Where agents run

• Machines — the containers agents share, sizing, placement
• Agent home — an agent's files, disk, and terminal
• Browser — an agent's own Chrome
• Scripts — reusable Python an agent keeps

How an agent thinks

• Runs — direct, group, and schedule runs; what each run records
• Run transcript — reading a run in the app
• System prompt — Guidelines and the State snapshot
• Task — the operator's standing instructions
• Memory — what an agent keeps between runs
• Usage — tokens and cost

Shared knowledge

• Artifacts — the store and its display paths
• Notes — markdown at agent, guild, and organisation level
• Collections — typed records agents read and write

Access

• Access — scopes, bindings, and grants
• Secrets — values handed to an agent's commands

Coding agents

• Coding agents — an agent that leads code work with a coding CLI, alone or with other coding agents
• Harnesses — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, and your subscription
• Repositories — the guild's git repositories
• Code tools — shell, file reads, search
• Code tasks — code_task, the harness turn
• Reviewing changes — checkpoints, diffs, commit trailers

Workspaces

• Recipes — a guild as one file
• Recipe format — the recipe document
• Applying recipes — from a recipe to a running guild
• Prompt Studio — improve Tasks on a live guild
• Studio activity — the guild overview and its activity ledger
• Studio proposals — the coach's proposal cards
• Guild builder — design a recipe from a conversation

• Tools in a run — native and MCP tools, what a run offers
• Platform keys — the integrations a platform admin sets up for the whole box
• Connectors — token logins and remote MCP
• Connector list — each connector the image carries
• Gmail and Drive — the Google OAuth client
• GitHub — the GitHub App
• Connector registry — connectors beyond the image
• Native tools — notes, collections, memory, browser, scripts, routines, secrets

For the people who change the code.

• Deployment — processes, state on disk, images, the trust boundary
• Orchestrator — startup, events, PostgreSQL, the model client, the sandbox manager
• Web app — the operator app: stack, extension slots, state and events
• Code map — repository layout, boot, the request path, the run flow
• Screen map — every screen of the operator app
• Extension points — what an edition built on core may replace
• Design system — @guildsrun/ui: tokens, components, Storybook
• Security register — issues fixed and still open, with their history

• Contributing — licence, feature requests, versions, pull requests
• Development — the development stack, Make targets, tests, the check, CI
• Code guidelines — names, functions, boundaries, docs
