Start Here

Tandem is the authority layer for AI-first work. Choose the path that matches where you want runtime authority to live: local desktop, terminal, headless service, hosted/private deployment, or customer infrastructure.

Path 1: CLI Binaries

Use this if you want local execution through the master tandem CLI, direct tandem-engine runtime, and tandem-tui from the terminal.

• npm packages:
  • @frumu/tandem (master CLI + engine)
  • @frumu/tandem-tui (TUI)
• Install: Install CLI Binaries
• Then: First Run Checklist

Path 2: Web Control Panel

Use this if you want a browser-first control surface for agents, workflows, approvals, channels, memory, and runtime evidence.

• npm add-on for the official ready-to-run panel:
  • @frumu/tandem-panel
• Install it through Tandem:
  • tandem install panel
• Then bootstrap it:
  • tandem panel init
• Legacy compatibility still exists during migration:
  • tandem-setup
  • tandem-control-panel
• npm scaffold for a fully editable app:
  • create-tandem-panel
• Install + run: Control Panel (Web Admin)

Path 3: Build from Source

Use this if you are contributing, debugging internals, or need custom builds.

• Build guide: Build from Source
• Developer checks: Engine Testing
