Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A tiny POSIX shell that connects to a model, runs tools, and writes code in the directory where it is launched.

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

Field notes

seed is distributed as a shell script for macOS and Linux, with a separate Windows executable. Its documented invocation accepts an API channel or URL, an API key, and an optional model name, after which the agent operates in the directory where it was started. The page describes a roughly 24KB, single-file POSIX implementation and says future behavior can be supplied through JSON files placed beside it.
