The Problem
Your AI agents forget everything the moment you close the chat.
Session 1: You explain your architecture, your constraints, why you chose Postgres over Mongo.
Session 12: The agent uses SQLite. Because it doesn't remember session 1.
You're running 4 repos — api, web, mobile, shared-lib. When something changes in shared-lib, every downstream repo needs to know. There's no mechanism for that.
You ask the same agent that wrote the code to verify it. It passes everything — of course it does. The bugs it introduced are invisible to it.
Gald3r is the infrastructure layer that fixes all three. It wraps around your AI IDEs and gives agents durable memory, cross-repo coordination, and adversarial quality enforcement.
What Gald3r Gives Your Agents
Four pillars of AI-assisted development
The gald3r family
Three products. One ecosystem.
The file-first framework is free and ships today. The runtime and desktop app are in pre-release.
✓ Shipping now
gald3r
The free, file-first framework — 13 agents, 111 skills, 179 commands, rules, hooks, and a Python engine. Plain markdown in .gald3r/, works in 35 IDEs.
🔒 Waitlist
gald3r_agent
The Python runtime that powers the gald3r CLI. Tool loop, inference backends, tracing/eval, MCP routing. Ships as a packaged binary — no source build required.
🏗️ Pre-release
gald3r_throne
Hlidskjalf — the desktop workspace control plane. A Tauri 2 app with live task dashboards, dry-run→apply with backup/rollback, personality packs, animated avatars, and a Chrono scheduler.

The Engine — a deterministic core, no LLM required
Gald3r v2.0.0 shipped a bundled Python engine that handles all the mechanical parts of task management without touching your AI or your network. No Docker, no servers, no API keys until you want the optional Valhalla backend.

New in v2.0.1
Upgrade without fear
gald3r upgrade is designed so the worst-case outcome is a 30-second rollback. Your tasks, bugs, plans, and vault are never touched.
1
Timestamped backup
Before touching a single file, the engine snapshots your .gald3r/ directory to .gald3r/backups/YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS/.
2
Selective patch
Only framework files are updated — agents, skills, commands, hooks. TASKS.md, BUGS.md, PLAN.md, and vault notes are untouched.
3
Auto rollback on failure
If any patch step fails, the engine automatically restores the backup. No partial upgrades, no corrupt state.
How far we've come
17 releases. 6 months. Still accelerating.

FAQ
Questions developers ask
- What is gald3r?
- Gald3r is an AI-native task management framework that wraps around your AI coding IDE. It gives AI agents persistent memory, multi-repo orchestration, and adversarial quality gates — so they remember your architecture across sessions, coordinate changes across repositories, and cannot sign off on their own work.
- How do I install gald3r?
- Clone the repository and copy the template into your project: git clone https://github.com/Gald3r-Labs/gald3r.git. Gald3r is file-first — no servers or subscriptions are required for the free Slim tier. The Quickstart walks through your first task in under 10 minutes.
- Which IDEs does gald3r support?
- 35 AI coding tools are supported and QA-passing. Six have full parity — Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode, and GitHub Copilot — sharing identical agents, skills, commands, and task state, so you can switch between them mid-task and pick up exactly where you left off.
- Is gald3r free?
- Yes. Gald3r Slim is free under the FSL-1.1-Apache license (Functional Source License, which converts to Apache-2.0 after two years). The Advanced (vault + multi-project) and Valhalla (Docker backend) tiers add optional capabilities on top.

Ready to forge your workflow?
Gald3r public releases use the FSL-1.1-Apache license posture. Install it in any project in minutes — no external services, no subscriptions, no magic until you copy the files.
