ApeMind Agent

ApeMind Agent is an ApeCloud desktop agent distribution based on upstream Goose. It runs on the user's own machine and provides a local desktop entry point for agent workflows.

The first PoC focuses on desktop branding and safe packaging defaults while keeping the fork shallow enough to continue tracking upstream.

What This Fork Changes

• ApeMind Agent product name and desktop-facing copy.
• ApeCloud/ApeMind visual assets for desktop packaging.
• Build defaults that avoid telemetry, OTel, and AWS provider features unless explicitly enabled.

Packaging artifact names for desktop installers, CLI downloads, and Docker images are tracked separately as distribution work.

What Stays Upstream-Compatible

• Core agent loop.
• Tool execution behavior.
• Provider runtime internals.
• MCP runtime internals.
• Cargo crate names and repository path.

Target Users

The main user entry point is the desktop app:

• macOS Desktop for internal team validation.
• Windows Desktop for customer validation.
• CLI for debugging and automation.
• Docker for distribution and automated smoke checks.

Build Notes

The PoC CLI profile uses upstream feature flags and release settings:

source ./bin/activate-hermit >/tmp/hermit.log 2>&1
CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_LTO=true \
CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_CODEGEN_UNITS=1 \
CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_OPT_LEVEL=z \
CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_STRIP=true \
  cargo build --release --package goose-cli --bin goose \
  --no-default-features --features rustls-tls

This keeps AWS provider, telemetry, and OTel out of the default PoC build.

Upstream

This project is a branded distribution of Goose, an Apache-2.0 licensed open source project from the Agentic AI Foundation at the Linux Foundation. Keep the upstream license and notices intact when distributing ApeMind Agent.
