📦 Ready to be included in x-cmd pkg ?

NO

📥 How to install

Desktop app and CLI builds (macOS / Windows / Linux): https://github.com/solvyxtech/molt/releases/latest

From source:

git clone https://github.com/solvyxtech/molt
cd molt
npm install
npm run build
npm start        # terminal UI

(The @solvyx/molt npm package has been withdrawn, so the earlier npm i -g / npx lines no longer work.)

📝 TLDR

# interactive TUI — pick provider, model, then work a project
molt

# headless: exits non-zero if the project's .molt/done.yml bar is not met
molt run "fix the failing test" --yes

# re-run verification only
molt prove

# recompute the receipt hash chain
molt verify

🌟 Highlights

• Harness, not another chatbot. molt is an open-source coding agent for terminal and desktop that refuses to accept "done" until checks in .molt/done.yml pass against the real on-disk state.
• Accepts and refusals both write a receipt; writes get before/after hashes; journal is hash-chained (molt verify).
• Runs OpenAI-compatible endpoints (Ollama, vLLM, etc.) or Anthropic.
• Current release v0.2.2 (CLI binary name molt; desktop app is branded Maat Agent). License Apache-2.0. Studio: https://solvyx.xyz/work/molt
• Please do not confuse with unrelated npm packages named molt / molt-cli.

Stories: built so a model cannot high-five itself for unfinished work — acceptance lives outside the model.

Disadvantages / honest limits: needs a reachable model endpoint and a project with a usable done-bar; young project (stars still early).

@solvyxtech Cool. How about directly submiting a PR in x-cmd/install ? And then we can monitor and generate a repo card for your project ?

@solvyxtech The repo is down. Is it moved or have you decided not to continue the project?

Still being actively worked on. There have been some name changes to fit more with the ideology, but can still be found at Solvyxtech/molt

@edwinjhlee thanks for the suggestion, and sorry for the slow reply. The npm package has been withdrawn, so right now the only ways to install are the GitHub release builds or building from source. I have updated the install section above. I will hold off on a PR to x-cmd/install until there is a package x-cmd can install directly.

Please take your time. Feel free to reach out with any updates along the way. Great work is always worth the wait!
