Approvals you control

23 tools. File edits run free; shell, git writes, SQL, and browser actions ask first.

Plan, then build

Read-only Plan mode explores and writes plans; switch to Build to execute.

Orchestrators built in

Boss workers run sequentially; multi-agent dispatches parallel agents on disjoint scopes.

Never stuck

Rate limit or outage? Astra fails over to the next connected model and retries.

Interactive

A chat in your terminal. Ask, watch it work, approve as you go.

$ astra

Headless

One-shot tasks for scripts, hooks, and CI. No TUI, no babysitting.

$ astra -p "refactor auth module"

Always-on

Telegram, Discord, or WhatsApp. Approvals as buttons, schedules on time.
