01 / Context
Control Model Context
See the model, search mode, loaded project instructions, and discovered skills before the first prompt. Pin, drop, recover, or export context when you need more control.
Your minimal pair programmer
Stay in the loop.
thndrs loads the AGENTS.md guidance and skills that apply to your task, then gives your chosen model visible, bounded tools. Requests go straight to the provider. Session data stays on your device, ready to inspect or resume.

Inspectable iteration.
02 / ACP
Full ACP Implementation
Launch a configured ACP agent from the thndrs TUI, or run thndrs as an agent inside an ACP-compatible editor. Tool updates, permissions, usage, and local session records follow the same workflow.
03 / Local sessions
No Telemetry
thndrs has no hosted relay. Model requests go straight to the selected provider, while append-only JSONL records keep the transcript, tool outcomes, token usage, and audit metadata local.
Use your stack
Run frontier models from one harness.
Use frontier GPT coding models with ChatGPT Codex. OpenCode Go, OpenCode Zen, and Umans.ai provide routes to open-weight coding models. External ACP agents and MCP servers fit the same TUI and local session workflow.
