goat's catalog security scan is still queued. You can run an instant dependency and prompt-injection check now with the "Scan for vulnerabilities" button above.
Clone the repository with "git clone https://github.com/goat-si/goat" and add it to your Claude Code skills directory (see the Installation section above).
goat is primarily written in TypeScript. It is open-source under goat-si on GitHub, so you can review or fork the full source.

GOAT runs the coding agents you already use, such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, on the machines you own: your laptop, a desktop at home, an SSH server or a cloud machine. You steer all of them from one place, whether that is the desktop app, a browser or your phone. Agents can start work on another machine, follow it, and hear back when it finishes, and Fleet shows you what is running and what needs you.
Each machine you work on runs a GOAT server. The server and the state it owns (projects, threads, provider sign-ins and memory) form an environment. Clients connect to as many environments as you like, and an environment can reach others: an SSH host gets its GOAT runtime on first use, a GOAT server you already run can be linked for agents with a pairing link, and on Windows a WSL distro runs its own environment.
GOAT began as a fork of T3 Code and keeps its fast, event-sourced core. On top of it, GOAT adds:
goat_* tools to launch threads, watch them, get notified when they end, and report results to the thread that started them. Outside agents such as Claude Code, Codex and ChatGPT can connect to the same server.goat.Set up a provider on the machine that will do the work. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok Build, OpenCode, Antigravity, Pi, OmO, Muse Code, fx, ACP agents (including Oh My Pi) and the cloud providers are supported. The provider table covers the command-line providers, ACP providers covers ACP agents, and cloud providers sign in from Settings → Providers.
Install GOAT. Download the desktop app for macOS, Windows or Linux from goat-si/goat-releases, or install the goat command:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/goat-si/goat-releases/main/install.sh | sh
On Windows, run irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/goat-si/goat-releases/main/install.ps1 | iex in PowerShell. Intel Macs have the desktop app but no goat executable; see Intel Macs.
Start GOAT. Open the desktop app, or run goat if you installed the command; it starts the server and opens the web app. On macOS and Linux, goat service install keeps the server running in the background. goat --help lists the rest.
Add your other screens and machines. Pair a phone or another browser with remote access, and add SSH hosts under Settings → Connections.
GOAT is published to the public goat-si/goat-releases repository, which the install scripts, the desktop updater and goat update all read. It publishes stable releases, starting with v0.1.1, and Nightly builds. The install scripts follow the Nightly train unless you set GOAT_CHANNEL=stable.
Every environment starts as its own memory hub. Add another device from the hub's Settings → Memory, and both save to and search the same memories. See Memory.

GOAT builds with Vite+. Install the global vp command first:
# macOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://vite.plus | bash
# Windows
irm https://vite.plus/ps1 | iex
Then run vp i to install dependencies and vp run dev to start the server and web app. Development covers dev state and sharing, and CONTRIBUTING.md comes before your first PR.
GOAT began as a fork of T3 Code by Ping, and its event-sourced core is still T3 Code's. On 2026-11-01 this repository's history was condensed into one starting commit, so it no longer shares T3 Code's git history; upstream changes are brought over by hand, and devlog/_chase records how far GOAT has followed and where it deliberately differs. Thank you to the T3 Code team for the foundation.
