Interactive terminal
Stream responses, steer a running task and review tool approvals from the terminal. The short command is ww.
Local agent engine · Rust
Connect models to tools.
WerkWorker turns model responses into actions in your workspace. An interactive terminal and an embeddable Rust SDK share the same agent engine, with explicit permissions and persistent sessions.

WerkWorker + Werk1112
One engine. Terminal and SDK.
Werk1112 handles inference and model runtimes. WerkWorker handles the conversation, tools and the lifecycle of a task.
Tools with explicit permissions
Resource grants and prepared-action approvals control access. File and process isolation currently requires Linux.
Persistent sessions
SQLite-backed sessions record events and support follow-ups, cancellation and recovery. Embed the engine through Rust or use the JSONL protocol.
Quick start
Try the terminal locally.
Build from the repository with Rust 1.88 or newer. The demo runs offline; connect your Werk server for real model calls.
git clone https://github.com/philipbodenbach/werkWorker.git
cd werkWorker
cargo install --path . --locked
ww tui --demo "Hello"
ww --helpBoth ww and werk-worker are installed. The offline demo uses scripted responses, not a live model.
Lab
From the engine to a browser game.
A small experiment with a result you can play. The full write-up and recording live in Philip Bodenbach’s Lab.
Experiment · October 2026
Tetris on graph paper.
Pencil-hatched blocks, animated film grain and Web Audio. Built with WerkWorker and Werk1112; the original result is a single, self-contained HTML file.
