Loader
Loader is a local-first coding assistant that runs against Ollama and drives a small tool-using agent loop from the terminal or a Textual TUI.
Current state
Loader is still early-stage. The project already has:
- a working terminal and TUI interface
- a default tool set for file reads/writes, editing, search, globbing, and shell commands
- project-context detection
- runtime safeguards, recovery logic, and heuristic completion checks
It does not yet have the stronger runtime architecture described in .docs/REPORT.md. The current implementation plan lives under .docs/sprints/, and the Sprint 00 runtime baseline is tracked in .docs/PARITY.md.
Requirements
- Python 3.11+
uv- a running local Ollama server on
http://localhost:11434 - at least one pulled Ollama model
Setup
uv sync
uv sync --extra dev
Common commands
uv run loader
uv run loader "write a hello world program"
uv run loader --no-tui
uv run loader --select-model
uv run pytest
uv run pytest tests/test_runtime_harness.py -q
uv run ruff check src tests
uv run mypy src
Repository notes
- Loader source lives under
src/loader/ - tests live under
tests/ - reference repos used for comparison live under
refs/and are gitignored uv run pytestis scoped to Loader's owntests/directory
Known limitations
- the agent loop is still monolithic and heuristic-heavy
- there is a known tool-result contract regression captured by the runtime harness and left red for Sprint 01
- permissions are still confirmation-based rather than mode-based
- session persistence, planning artifacts, and verification loops are not implemented yet
