Vis

Vis is a coding agent that writes Python into a sandboxed GraalPy runtime, keeps durable state outside the context window, and inspects/changes the host project through tools.

Install

One command installs vis-agent — the only Vis command there is.

curl -fsSL https://github.com/Blockether/vis/releases/download/installer/install-vis-agent | bash
vis-agent help

vis-agent runtime           # what runs, and where it lives
vis-agent update            # move the command and its runtime to the newest commit

Clojure library:

;; deps.edn
{:deps {com.blockether/vis {:mvn/version "0.1.41"}}}

Companion app (iPhone / Android)

Vis Companion is the phone client for a Vis gateway you run yourself — it drives the same sessions as the TUI (see Gateway & pairing). Both stores are in public testing; no invite, no tester list, just the link.

Platform	Public test link	Status
iOS / iPadOS	https://testflight.apple.com/join/4anYT4Wk	TestFlight public link, open to anyone with the URL (requires the free TestFlight app)
Android	https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.blockether.viscompanion	Play open testing (beta track), package com.blockether.viscompanion

The app requires a gateway. Start one with vis-agent gateway, then pair by scanning the QR code it displays. For application questions and feedback, email contact@blockether.com (or use the TestFlight feedback button).

The runtime

There is nothing to choose: how Vis was installed decides what runs, and everything it installs lives under ~/.vis. Where the command file sits decides nothing either — a copy of the wrapper inside a checkout still runs the runtime Vis owns, never the tree around it.

Runtime	Runs	Comes from
native	the private vis-agent-native sidecar beside the command	a release bundle or the container image
jvm	clojure -M:vis from the source Vis owns, pinned to main's newest commit	install-vis-agent

vis-agent runtime           # what runs, where it lives, what the source is pinned to
vis-agent update            # move the command and its runtime to the newest

vis-agent update takes the installed runtime forward and carries the command with it; it never swaps one runtime for the other. A native build wins whenever one is installed. Full detail: Runtime distributions.
