# Termi Protocol

> A 3D desktop workspace that visualizes AI coding agent activity in real time, giving each agent a virtual room, terminal, task board, and checkpoint system.

Termi Protocol is a desktop application that turns AI coding agent workflows into a live 3D simulation. Built for developers who already run CLI-based agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI, it wraps those agents in a visual "room" where every file read, command, and code change becomes a watchable 3D action. The app is available for macOS and Windows and operates locally-first — your code and API keys never leave your machine.

## What It Is

Termi Protocol describes itself as "the world's first 3D AI agent workspace." Rather than replacing your AI coding agent, it acts as a control layer on top of whichever CLI agent you already use. Each agent gets a virtual desk in a 3D room, and the app renders its activity — reading files, writing code, running commands — as animated actions in that space. The goal is to replace the opaque wall of scrolling terminal text with something you can actually watch and understand.

## How the Workflow Works

The core loop has three steps:
- **Bring your agent** — connect Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot, Grok CLI, Aider, Ollama, Amazon Q, Groq, or any CLI agent using your own API keys.
- **Watch it build** — the agent's actions are rendered live in 3D; the Command Center panel shows a real xterm + PTY shell, a kanban task board, checkpoints, live token and dollar cost, and per-project memory.
- **Stay in control** — you can stop, pause, or approve any step; file locks prevent two agents from editing the same file simultaneously; checkpoints let you rewind a bad edit in seconds.

When an agent pauses for approval, the app plays an audio alert and sends a system notification so you can step away without missing a decision point.

## Architecture and Local-First Design

Termi Protocol runs agents on your own machine using your own API keys. The app does not proxy your code or agent output through its servers. Session state — task boards, checkpoints, and per-agent project memory — is saved locally so you can close the app and resume exactly where you left off without re-explaining context. The June 2026 Chronicle entries note backend hardening work including response headers, rate limits, stricter input handling, and a dependency audit, suggesting an active server component for account/licensing, while the agent execution itself remains local.

## Game Layer and Leaderboard

Termi Protocol includes a progression system called the Moscow Protocol game layer. Real workflow steps earn XP, and users climb through eight leagues from Rookie (Lv 1–4) to Legend (Lv 75+). A global leaderboard ranks users, and founding backers receive a badge on that leaderboard. The game layer is framed as a way to make productive agent use feel competitive and rewarding.

## Roadmap: Nine Protocols, One World

The product ships in named chapters, each described as a "city" that adds a new layer of functionality. According to the site, Milano (Chapter 01) is live as of mid-2026 and includes rooms, a real terminal, 3D agent visualization, checkpoints, and tasks. Eight additional protocols — Istanbul, London, Madrid, Paris, Mexico City, a second Madrid, Moscow, and Giza Pyramid — are planned through May of the following year and are included in the lifetime pass.

## Update: June 2026 Launch and Lifetime Pricing

The Chronicle (the product's news section) shows active releases in June 2026. Notable entries include the announcement of a one-time lifetime license model (June 21), a backend security hardening update (June 20), and an accessibility improvement making file-tree rows keyboard and screen-reader navigable (June 20). The product was also featured on Product Hunt. The current pricing model is a single one-time payment with no subscription, no usage caps, and no auto-renewal.
