About Truss
A runtime before an interface.
Truss is a modular harness for coding agents. The CLI, terminal UI, VS Code extension, and standalone desktop app are clients of the same runtime—not separate implementations.
The approach
Local models need a disciplined environment.
Truss favors direct context, native tool calling, bounded workspace state, and clear permission boundaries. That gives locally hosted models a practical environment without requiring an oversized prompt or a provider-specific workflow.
The runtime is TypeScript-first and event-driven. Providers, tools, session storage, memory, context selection, plans, and clients remain replaceable so the platform can grow without coupling its core to one editor, client, or model host.
Change a subsystem
Add a provider, tool, or client without rebuilding the runtime around it.
Keep momentum
Persist useful state, request approvals deliberately, and resume work with context.
