* fix(server): stop short start gates from undercutting provider startup budgets Agent creation still failed on contended cold starts after #3578, because two shorter gates on the same path fire before the event-stream readiness budget can apply. A traced creation reached session.create twelve seconds in, past the 10s session.create gate, and the agent was then killed by a bare "timeout" at fifteen seconds from AGENT_RUN_START_TIMEOUT_MS while the SSE connect was still running. A run-start bound of 15s wraps a path that is deliberately allowed 30s, so the outer gate always wins and the inner budget is unreachable. Give session.create the shared OPENCODE_SERVER_STARTUP_TIMEOUT_MS budget, since creating the first session for a directory is part of OpenCode coming up, and derive its error message from the constant instead of hardcoding "10s". Raise AGENT_RUN_START_TIMEOUT_MS to 60s with a comment recording that it must stay above the slowest provider startup budget; it stays a literal because that module is provider-agnostic. Related to #3571. * test(server): drive the run start budget through a real AgentManager The run start boundary tests replaced AgentManager.waitForAgentRunStart with a bare timer, so they never exercised the production run-state transition or the agent_state subscription the real wait depends on. That path could regress while the tests stayed green. Build the scenario on a real AgentManager with a provider session that holds its turn start open for a configurable span, so pendingRun.started, the lifecycle change to "running", and the agent_state notification are what the wait actually observes. Budgets stay independent literals and the settled-before/after assertions are unchanged. * fix(server): describe agent run start timeouts --------- Co-authored-by: Mohamed Boudra <boudra.moha@gmail.com>
Paseo
One interface for Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, and Pi agents.
Run agents in parallel on your own machines. Ship from your phone or your desk.
- Self-hosted: Agents run on your machine with your full dev environment. Use your tools, your configs, and your skills.
- Multi-provider: Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, and Pi through the same interface. Pick the right model for each job.
- Voice control: Dictate tasks or talk through problems in voice mode. Hands-free when you need it.
- Cross-device: iOS, Android, desktop, web, and CLI. Start work at your desk, check in from your phone, script it from the terminal.
- Privacy-first: Paseo doesn't have any telemetry, tracking, or forced log-ins.
Getting Started
Paseo runs a local server called the daemon that manages your coding agents. Clients like the desktop app, mobile app, web app, and CLI connect to it.
Prerequisites
You need at least one agent CLI installed and configured with your credentials:
Desktop app (recommended)
Download it from paseo.sh/download or the GitHub releases page. Open the app and the daemon starts automatically. Nothing else to install.
To connect from your phone, open Settings → your host → Pair Device.
CLI / headless
Install the CLI and start Paseo:
npm install -g @getpaseo/cli
paseo
Paseo starts locally, then asks whether to enable the end-to-end encrypted relay for device pairing. If you decline, connect directly over TCP, Tailscale, or another VPN. This path is useful for servers and remote machines.
For full setup and configuration, see:
Docker
Run the Paseo daemon and self-hosted web UI in Docker:
docker run -d --name paseo \
-p 6767:6767 \
-e PASEO_PASSWORD=change-me \
-v "$PWD/paseo-home:/home/paseo" \
-v "$PWD:/workspace" \
ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest
Open http://localhost:6767 after it starts. Extend the base image with the agent CLIs you use, then provide credentials through environment variables or the persistent /home/paseo volume. See the Docker documentation for full setup details.
CLI
Everything you can do in the app, you can do from the terminal.
paseo run --provider claude/opus-4.6 "implement user authentication"
paseo run --provider codex/gpt-5.5 --worktree feature-x "implement feature X"
paseo ls # list running agents
paseo attach abc123 # stream live output
paseo send abc123 "also add tests" # follow-up task
# run on a remote daemon
paseo --host workstation.local:6767 run "run the full test suite"
See the full CLI reference for more.
TypeScript SDK
Build issue integrations, dashboards, and orchestration services with @getpaseo/client:
import { createPaseoClient } from "@getpaseo/client";
const client = createPaseoClient({ url: "ws://127.0.0.1:6767/ws" });
await client.connect();
const agent = await client.agents.create({
config: { provider: "codex/gpt-5.5" },
cwd: "/Users/me/dev/storefront",
prompt: "Review the current diff and name the riskiest change.",
});
const result = await agent.waitForFinish();
console.log(result.lastMessage);
await client.close();
See the SDK quickstart, recipes, and API reference.
Skills
Skills teach your agent to use Paseo to orchestrate other agents.
npx skills add getpaseo/paseo
Then use them in any agent conversation:
/paseo-handoff— hand off work between agents. I use this to plan with Claude and then handoff to Codex to implement./paseo-advisor— spin up a single agent as an advisor for a second opinion, without delegating the work itself./paseo-committee— form a committee of two contrasting agents to step back, do root cause analysis, and produce a plan.
Development
Quick monorepo package map:
packages/server: Paseo daemon (agent process orchestration, WebSocket API, MCP server)packages/app: Expo client (iOS, Android, web)packages/cli:paseoCLI for daemon and agent workflowspackages/desktop: Electron desktop apppackages/relay: Relay transport and encryption used by the daemon and clientspackages/website: Marketing site and documentation (paseo.sh)
Common commands:
# run all local dev services
npm run dev
# run individual surfaces
npm run dev:server
npm run dev:app
npm run dev:desktop
npm run dev:website
# build the server stack
npm run build:server
# repo-wide checks
npm run typecheck
