Run Charm in Agentastic
Charmbracelet's terminal coding agent, with automatic prompt typing into its native TUI.
What Agentastic adds
Give every task its own worktree, branch, or container.
Keep Charm's real CLI and your existing configuration.
Inspect the diff, run code review, test, and open a pull request.
Launch Charm
- Install the official CLI and sign in with your existing provider account.
- Open a repository in Agentastic. The connection is discovered from your PATH.
- Open Agent Home, choose Charm, describe the task, and select worktree, local, container, cloud, or remote mode.
Every run gets its own git worktree, so three tasks can share a repository without sharing a branch or a build directory.
What Charm supports
- Launch from a task description: supported
Type the task in Agent Home and Agentastic hands it to crush at launch, so the run starts from your prompt instead of an empty session.
- Unattended runs: supported
Charm can run without stopping for per-tool confirmation, which is what makes an overnight or scheduled run finish on its own.
- Plan before editing: not supported
Agentastic keeps plan mode out of the picker for Charm rather than emulating it, so runs begin with edits.
- Resume a session: not supported
Every launch of Charm is a fresh session; carry context forward in the repository rather than in the agent.
- Structured chat: not supported
Charm runs in its own terminal UI inside Agentastic; it does not expose a protocol Agentastic can render as a structured chat.
- Code review: not supported
Charm writes the change; pair it with a review-capable agent for the pass before merge.
Agentastic reads these from Charm's own CLI rather than emulating them, and modes it does not support stay out of the picker. The provider reference lists the exact flags for each launch, and how to compare coding agents covers what changes when you switch harnesses.
Charm questions
Is there a GUI for Charm?
Yes. Agentastic runs the real Charm CLI (crush) in a native Mac workspace with a git worktree, terminal, diff view, and code review for each task.
How do I run multiple Charm sessions in parallel?
Start each task from Agent Home in worktree mode. Agentastic gives every run its own git worktree and terminal, so several Charm sessions can work in one repository without editing the same files.
How do I install Charm?
Run npm install -g @charmland/crush, then sign in the way Charm's documentation describes. Agentastic finds the crush command on your PATH when you open a repository.
Does Agentastic charge for Charm?
No. Agentastic is free and does not proxy model calls. It launches Charm with the credentials and plan you already use, so any usage is billed by your provider, not by Agentastic.
