v0.1.0

Give your agent a shell without giving it the keys to your machine.

Strands Shell is a virtual shell that runs entirely inside a single userspace process. It supports Bourne-compatible syntax and provides the commands an AI agent needs, but never calls fork/exec or makes direct system calls. Every operation flows through a Kernel mediation boundary, giving you fine-grained control over what the agent can see and do — down to individual files, network domains, or credentials — without containers, microVMs, or firewalls.
