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.
