Picobu
couralabs · Agent
Picobu is an open-source coding agent for your terminal. Point it at a project and it reads the code, reasons about the task, edits files, runs commands and verifies its own work in a terminal interface where you can review plans and steer mid-flight. The same agent runtime can run as a headless server, keeps saved sessions with undo and redo, and connects to MCP servers for extra tools. It needs Bun and a model, either an API key for a hosted provider or a local endpoint.

Why it's useful
Planning, editing and verification happen in one terminal agent, and you can change model providers without changing tools.
What you could do with it
- Use the read-only agent to ask questions about a codebase when you do not want anything edited or run.
- Have the plan-and-code agent draft an ordered implementation plan, then approve it so the coder builds it.
- Point it at a model served locally through Ollama, LM Studio or LiteLLM instead of a hosted provider.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured

In its maker's words
Terminal coding agent — reads, plans, edits and verifies your code — with a TUI, CLI, MCP and multi-provider support on the Vercel AI SDK

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 0.37.2, the file with digest sha512-jOYJXYQQ1xREGjWh9nh5gUD74Tq3Ac8v9zDFyw9g1s92gFoxh6zhpCdiTXKYBuMBBpn7mdKStNBWItRkz0fzcQ==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.
Adding it
Run it with:
npx -y @couralabs/picobu@0.37.2Pinned to 0.37.2, which is the version the findings above were found in. Drop the version to take whatever is newest, and the report on this page stops describing what you installed.

No build provenance published. The repository above is the one the publisher declared, and nothing links it to the package you would install. That is not a mark against this listing, since most packages are published this way, but it is a check nobody can run.

It renders the current rung (static scanned) and links back here, where what that does and does not establish is one click away. It updates itself as the evidence deepens.
