The composable agent runtime. Compact daemon core. Memory, channels, tools — all hooks. Use what you need, skip what you don't.

Crabtalk is a daemon that runs agents and dispatches tools. The daemon ships with built-in tools (shell, task delegation, memory), MCP server integration, and skills (Markdown prompt files).
Heavier capabilities live outside the daemon as commands — standalone
binaries discovered via cargo-style dispatch (crabtalk <name> finds
crabtalk-<name> on PATH):
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| Search | Meta-search aggregator |
| Gateway | Telegram adapter |
The daemon stays small. Commands run independently.
