unstablebuild/rune

the development environment for pros

What it solves

Rune is a keyboard-driven IDE designed for power users that integrates coding, terminals, CLI tools, and language intelligence into a single, composable multi-workspace environment. It aims to provide a high-performance, GPU-rendered experience that supports both manual programming and automated AI-driven development.

How it works

The project consists of a core editor (cmd/rune) and a separate AI coding agent (cmd/rune-agent) implemented as an extension. This architecture ensures that the AI agent remains a modular addition, allowing the core editor to remain a stable environment for manual coding while enabling complex automated programming tasks via the extension system.

Who it’s for

Power users and developers who prefer keyboard-centric workflows and a Unix-style composable environment for their development tools.

Highlights

  • GPU-rendered interface for high performance.
  • Integrated AI coding agent shipped as a separate extension.
  • Composable multi-workspace environment.
  • Support for terminals, CLI tools, and language intelligence.
