Talos helps you explore a codebase, edit files, and run commands through a terminal conversation. Its Endfield-inspired interface keeps replies, tool activity, and permission requests close to the work. Choose a provider preset or connect your own compatible endpoint.
Requires Node.js 22.19–22.x, 24.2–24.x, 25.x, or 26.x.
npm install -g @pakiknowledge/tal0s-code@latest --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/ --ignore-scripts=false --include=optionalInstall scripts are needed for native dependencies. Keep optional dependencies enabled.
Open a terminal in the project you want to work on:
cd /path/to/your/project
talos- Enter
/providerto configure a model connection. Select a preset or supply your endpoint, model name, and API key. - Describe your task and the result you want. For example: “Explain how this project starts, then identify the files involved.”
- Follow the replies and tool activity. Review permission requests when prompted.
Model usage is billed by your chosen provider.

Inside Talos, use /provider for model connections, /sessions for history, and /help for commands and shortcuts.
Configuration and sessions are stored in ~/.talos by default (%USERPROFILE%\.talos on Windows). Uninstalling the npm package leaves this directory intact.
Run talos update or enter /update to check for a new version. Talos shows the upgrade command; installation is always manual. To upgrade, run the npm install command above again.
Talos 0.1.2 is the current CLI line (@pakiknowledge/tal0s-code). Windows x64 release checks passed on the 0.1.x series. Normal model-driven use on NixOS has been confirmed; source verification retains two documented check limitations. See verification records and current status.
The desktop GUI lives in the companion repository T3rra-C0d3-Talos. Default web search is not included in this release.
If you encounter a problem, open an issue with your OS, Node.js version, Talos version, and the error message. Remove API keys and private project content before sharing logs.
