Albatross

About

Albatross is a Rust TUI whose pitch is 'no black box': every routing decision, token spend, and provider switch is itemized. Work is planned through /plan, which expands an intent into a spec file (.albatross/spec.md) and can build routed task graphs across configured model tiers; /iterate adds a critic-scored generate-evaluate loop and /auto runs batches overnight. MCP servers plug in through mcpServers in agent.config.json with trust gating, and lifecycle hooks can allow, deny, or block tool calls. It is MIT-licensed, installed via Homebrew or cargo, embeds an SDK for building other tools, and stays on a fast release cadence (v2.4.x, 224 stars) as a solo project.
