Sila (صِلَة)
Autonomous multi-agent alignment, governance, and session continuity substrate
Why This Was Built
Autonomous coding agents operate in ephemeral, amnesiac silos: architectural decisions, debugging lessons, and institutional directives evaporate between sessions or when switching harnesses (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Antigravity, Devin). Furthermore, uncontrolled global skill bloat injects tens of thousands of redundant tokens into agent prompts, triggering silent harness truncation and semantic confusion.
The Architectural Answer
A local-first, zero-telemetry continuity engine and governance substrate that ingests multi-harness transcripts in milliseconds, compiles canonical rulebooks, coordinates epistemic roadmap goals and pre-commit discipline gates, enforces project-scoped skill governance with visual diff collision detection, reclaims developer disk space with a universal multi-toolchain cleaner, and equips agents with 58 native MCP tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install Sila on Linux, macOS, or Windows?
On Linux and macOS, run `curl -fsSL https://sila.jadmadi.net/sila/install.sh | sh`. On Windows (PowerShell), run `irm https://sila.jadmadi.net/sila/install.ps1 | iex`. Both installers verify SHA-256 binary checksums from Cloudflare R2 and place the single static binary into your local PATH.
What AI coding tools and harnesses does Sila support?
Sila includes non-destructive, read-only session loaders for 10+ AI CLI tools including Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Antigravity/Agy, Devin, and git, exposing a 58-tool MCP server compatible with any standard MCP client.
What is the Universal Multi-Toolchain Clean Engine (sila clean)?
Sila includes a built-in clean command that safely scans and reclaims gigabytes of disk bloat across 9 developer ecosystems: Go, Rust/Cargo, pnpm, aube, npm, uv/pip, bun, zig, and mise, featuring strict path traversal guards and MCP cache pruning.
Where is my session data stored and does Sila phone home?
Sila is strictly local-first and zero-telemetry. Under the Digital Data Sovereignty Covenant, all session memory, architectural directives, and lessons are stored in an open relational pure-Go SQLite database directly on your machine.
How do I request early access or a pilot integration?
