A control room for the CLIs you already use.
Monkey Wings is built by Rami Salem — a systems engineer who got tired of losing context every time he switched between Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, and OpenClaw. If the memory stays with the tool, the tool owns you. If the memory stays with the operator, the operator owns the tools.
The project runs sovereign-first, self-hosted, and MIT-licensed. It's designed to sit inside whichever coding CLI the operator prefers, and stay out of the way otherwise.
Six things we believe.
Sovereignty first
You own the runtime. You own the memory. You own the keys. Nothing important leaves your machine unless you explicitly configure it to.
Portability by design
The AI-coding-CLI ecosystem is fragmenting fast. Instead of picking a winner, Monkey Wings speaks every dialect — so switching CLIs never means losing your work.
Open source, not open source-washed
The whole runtime is MIT-licensed on GitHub. No feature flags, no gated features. Paid tiers add convenience on top of the source; they never gate it.
Local-first, cloud-optional
Everything works offline with Ollama. Cloud providers are supported first-class, but never required. Even hosted memory sync (Studio tier) is end-to-end encrypted.
Reproducible operations
Every systemd unit, install script, and configuration file is committed to the repo. If you can't re-create the setup on a fresh box in ten minutes, we consider it a bug.
Honest documentation
Our STATE.md file — the SSoT for the whole project — includes a live "Red Flags" list of unresolved issues. We'd rather ship the truth than pretend nothing's broken.
How we got here.
- Jun 2026
Project kickoff
Monkey Wings starts as a dashboard for OpenClaw. First control-plane MCP server ships.
- Jun 24, 2026
Multi-agent orchestration
Architect / Builder / Researcher / Critic / Validator subagent roles activated. Rotation pipeline design begins.
- Jul 3, 2026
Portability roadmap
Formal decision: Monkey Wings is a portable tool that lives inside host CLIs, not a competing runtime.
- Jul 4, 2026
Three-feature shipping milestone
Custom prompts + memory graph + portable RuntimeAdapter all ship on the same day. First live end-to-end verification.
- Jul 5, 2026
Ecosystem-wide install
Six install paths → eight. Skill registration for Codex CLI + universal agentskills.io fallback. Native desktop app for Linux + macOS + PWA.
