Synax

Appearance

Synax ​

Synax is a TypeScript-first local coding agent for developers running local LLMs through Relay or another OpenAI-compatible local gateway.

It is CLI-first, local-first, and intentionally small. Synax focuses on bounded file inspection, compact tool results, controlled edits, provider diagnostics, and explicit context budgets instead of cloud-only agent assumptions.

Fast Path ​

sh
git clone git@github.com:achuthanmukundan00/synax.git
cd synax
npm install
npm run build
cp .synax.toml.example .synax.toml
npm run synax -- doctor --full
npm run synax -- chat

The default local provider endpoint is:

txt
http://127.0.0.1:1234/v1

That matches Relay's OpenAI-compatible local inference path.

What Synax Does ​

  • Runs from the terminal with synax chat, synax ask, synax run, synax inspect, synax config, and synax doctor.
  • Talks to Relay through OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions.
  • Sends a small model-facing tool surface for reading, searching, editing, writing, and git inspection.
  • Keeps bash disabled by default; verification uses configured project commands.
  • Supports local session settings for endpoint, model, headers, context budget, model-step limit, and tool-call limit.
  • Records inspect context and keeps model-visible data bounded.

What Synax Is Not ​

Synax is not a SaaS platform, IDE, web dashboard, hosted agent service, database-backed memory system, or parallel-agent framework.

It is a sharp local CLI tool for constrained local models.
