Overview

ScaiFlux is an agentic coding tool, first and foremost. Not a chat client that happens to have tools — a tool-using coding agent that talks via chat. You point it at a project on your machine, and it acts: reads files, runs commands, edits code, searches the web, runs your tests. The model isn't just describing what you should do in prose — it's invoking the actual operations and showing you the results. The whole interaction happens in your shell; there's no IDE plug-in, no browser tab.

The chat surface is the steering wheel. The agent is the engine.

What it's for#

  • Coding alongside a model, with the model able to act (read, run, edit) instead of just describing what you should do.
  • One-shot automation — scaiflux prompt "summarize what changed in src/auth since main" works without dropping into an interactive session.
  • Programmatic orchestration via scaiflux serve — an external controller (ScaiForge, a custom harness, anything that speaks NDJSON over stdio) drives a sandboxed ScaiFlux process with full permission proxying.

What it isn't#

  • It isn't an IDE. There's no syntax-highlighted editor pane, no file tree, no debugger.
  • It isn't a hosted product. ScaiFlux runs on your machine and talks to ScaiGrid for inference — model weights live there, your code lives here.
  • It isn't tied to one model. The catalog comes from your ScaiGrid tenant; pick whatever fits the task.

How it fits together#

ScaiFlux is the local agent (this is what you install). ScaiGrid is the inference gateway (ScaiLabs hosts the default deployment at scaigrid.scailabs.ai; you can point at any OpenAI-compatible backend). ScaiKey is the identity layer for OAuth-style login — optional; API keys work too.
