Overview
Atomic Agent is a TypeScript CLI/TUI agent that keeps its control loop, memory and sessions on your disk. It drives a browser via playwright-core, edits files, runs approval-gated shell commands, and connects to MCP servers. It targets a local llama.cpp server (managed or your own) with grammar-constrained tool calls, and also supports cloud providers and a Fusion mode that splits planning and work across models.
Who it is for: Engineers running small local models for long, tool-heavy agent tasks
Strengths
- Runs on local llama.cpp models with GBNF-constrained tool calls; no API cost locally
- Reports GAIA L1 69.8% vs Hermes 58.5% on the same local model
- Memory in SQLite/FTS5 and plain-file state, with traces you can inspect
- Imports sessions and skills from Claude Code, Codex, Pi, Hermes and OpenClaw
Weaknesses
- Developer preview: APIs, commands and config are still changing
- No Intel Mac build; Windows on ARM runs x64 under emulation
- Install is a curl-to-shell script; no Docker or compose files
- Benchmark covers 53 tasks, with different agent versions per model row
What it needs
- GPU optional
- Needs llama.cpp (llama-server), Chrome/Edge/Brave/Chromium (browser tools)
- Models: GGUF via llama-server, OpenAI-compatible, OpenRouter, Gemini, Anthropic
