Hoook docs

Hoook is a desktop app for running multiple AI agents in parallel on your own machine. These docs cover what ships today.

What Hoook does today

Hoook is in active development and has not shipped a public build yet. The app currently runs from source, and these docs describe only what is actually working. If a feature is not documented here, assume it is not ready.

Area	Status
Chat	Working. Ollama, Claude, and GPT models, streamed.
Agent tabs	Working. Runs agent CLIs you already have installed.
Projects	Working. Folders on disk with an `AGENTS.md`.
Skills	Install and manage only. Skills do not execute yet.
Connectors, marketplace, schedules	Not built. Visible in the app as placeholders.

How it fits together

Hoook has three parts. A desktop app built with Tauri gives you the window, tabs, and project UI. A local daemon runs alongside it on 127.0.0.1:47821 and owns the database, chat streaming, and file layout. Your agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, and so on) are separate programs that Hoook launches in terminal tabs; Hoook does not bundle or reimplement them.

That last point is the one people most often get wrong. Hoook orchestrates agents you install yourself. It is not an agent, and it does not ship models.

Where your data lives

Everything Hoook creates is a real file on your disk that you can read, edit, and delete without the app running:

~/.hoook/workspaces/<workspace-id>/
  projects/
    <project-slug>/
      AGENTS.md        # your project instructions
  skills/
    <skill-name>/      # installed skills
  .internal/           # database and app state

Start here

Getting started covers what you need installed and how to run the app from source. It takes about ten minutes if you already have Node and Rust.
