Run from Source

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• pnpm
• At least one AI CLI installed (see Supported Backends)

Setup

git clone https://github.com/longyangxi/open-office.git
cd open-office
pnpm install
pnpm dev

Desktop App (Tauri)

Open Office also ships as a native macOS desktop app powered by Tauri.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+, pnpm
• Rust toolchain — install via: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Dev Mode

pnpm dev:desktop

Build Release

pnpm build:desktop

Produces Open Office.app and .dmg at:

apps/desktop/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/macos/Open Office.app
apps/desktop/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/dmg/Open Office_0.1.0_aarch64.dmg

Supported Backends

Open Office auto-detects installed AI CLIs at startup. Each backend has its own instruction file convention and capability set.

| Backend | Command | Stability | Guard | Instruction File | Resume | Structured Output | Tested | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Claude Code | claude | Stable | Hooks | .claude/CLAUDE.md | Yes | Yes (stream-json) | ✅ | | Codex CLI | codex | Stable | Sandbox (Seatbelt/Landlock) | AGENTS.md | — | — | ✅ | | Gemini CLI | gemini | Beta | --sandbox flag | GEMINI.md | — | — | — | | GitHub Copilot | copilot | Experimental | — | .github/copilot-instructions.md | — | — | — | | Cursor CLI | agent | Experimental | — | .cursor/rules/instructions.md | — | — | — | | Aider | aider | Experimental | — | .aider.conf.yml | — | — | — | | OpenCode | opencode | Experimental | — | AGENTS.md | — | Yes (json) | — | | Pi | pi | Experimental | — | .claude/CLAUDE.md | — | — | — | | Sapling | sp | Experimental | — | SAPLING.md | — | Yes (json) | — |

✅ = actively tested in production workflows. Other backends have not yet verified end-to-end.

Backends with ambiguous binary names (agent, pi, sp) use version-probe detection to avoid false positives.
