Overview
Astrid treats components as processes within the operating system. Each capability is a packaged WebAssembly capsule that can be composed with other capsules, granted only explicit permissions, and replaced without expanding its scope. Astrid is independent of any specific product, model provider, agent loop, user interface, or distribution. The kernel is small and deliberately simple—it routes events, performs capability checks, runs sandboxes, and logs audit trails. Astrid establishes trust through runtime behavior rather than prompts, ensuring higher security.
