Marlin, the daemon-native terminal agent

marlin.wtf Observed source

Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Zig-built terminal AI agent harness that keeps structured sessions alive in a background daemon while clients come and go.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

Marlin separates a daemon that owns session state from thin TUI and headless clients, allowing a turn to continue after its terminal closes and making reattachment possible from another terminal over SSH. The page describes append-only durable history alongside compaction, content-addressed blobs, pruning, and usage accounting. It also documents a checksum-verifying installer for macOS and Linux architectures and identifies Zig 0.16.0 for source builds.
