Muse Code
About Muse Code
Muse Code is a terminal-based coding agent powered by the Muse Spark 1.2 model. It handles complex software engineering tasks such as planning changes, writing code, and validating results across large repositories. The tool operates using a main agent loop supported by persistent async background agents that remain active throughout each session. These agents coordinate to avoid redundant information gathering, reduce latency, and improve accuracy on multi-step tasks. Muse Code maintains a local event log that records every model call, tool run, approval, and edit, enabling replay-exact runtime recovery after crashes. This allows long-running tasks to resume precisely where they stopped without derailment. The system ships with default skills like /plan for creating approval-gated plans, /grill for stress-testing those plans, and /goal for driving toward successful completion of objectives. Muse Code is designed for developers working on large-scale or long-horizon coding projects where planning, persistence, and reliability are critical.

Frequently asked questions about Muse Code
What is Muse Code and what does it do?
Muse Code is a terminal-based coding agent powered by the Muse Spark 1.2 model, designed to handle complex software engineering tasks such as planning changes, writing code, and validating results across large repositories.
Who is Muse Code designed for?
Muse Code is designed for developers working on large-scale or long-horizon coding projects where planning, persistence, and reliability are critical.
How does Muse Code handle long-running tasks and crashes?
Muse Code maintains a local event log that records every model call, tool run, approval, and edit, enabling replay-exact runtime recovery after crashes. This allows long-running tasks to resume precisely where they stopped without derailment.
What are the default skills available in Muse Code?
Muse Code ships with default skills such as /plan for creating approval-gated plans, /grill for stress-testing those plans, and /goal for driving toward successful completion of objectives.
How does Muse Code coordinate multiple tasks?
Muse Code operates with a main agent loop supported by persistent async background agents that remain active throughout each session. These agents coordinate to avoid redundant information gathering, reduce latency, and improve accuracy on multi-step tasks.
