Lucarne AI Poster

English | 中文

Stop babysitting your local AI agents.

  • No new mobile app required; receive timely, secure notifications through existing channels
  • Zero-intrusion setup: no hooks, no skills, no MCP, no project changes; scan a QR code and start using it in one step
  • Agents run on your local computer, so you can step away while WeChat / Telegram keep you synced on key progress
  • Permission approvals, clarifying questions, and failure notifications become actionable mobile events
  • Scan a WeChat QR code to receive agent messages; quote a message to continue the matching context automatically
  • Use the Telegram console to view all agents, workspaces, and historical sessions
  • View local agent session history and agents currently running on this machine
  • Lightweight resident process with high performance and low memory use; idle agents are released automatically

Quick Start

1. Install

macOS / Linux:

curl -LsSf https://github.com/tuchg/Lucarne/releases/latest/download/lucarned-installer.sh | sh

Windows PowerShell:

powershell -c "irm https://github.com/tuchg/Lucarne/releases/latest/download/lucarned-installer.ps1 | iex"
Homebrew (recommended) and release archives

Homebrew:

brew tap tuchg/Lucarne https://github.com/tuchg/Lucarne
brew install lucarned

Release archives are also available for macOS, Linux, and Windows on x86_64 and aarch64.

2. Initialize

lucarned init

Initialization guides you through:

  • Selecting enabled agents: claude, codex, copilot, gemini, pi
  • Configuring a Telegram Bot Token and entry chat (optional)
  • Logging in to WeChat by QR code (optional)
  • Generating the config file: ~/.lucarned/lucarned.yaml

3. Start the background service

lucarned autostart install --start
Homebrew service commands (recommended) 
brew services start lucarned
brew services restart lucarned
brew services stop lucarned
Platform notes

lucarned autostart uses native user-level service managers:

  • macOS: LaunchAgent
  • Windows: Task Scheduler logon task
  • Linux: systemd user service

Linux autostart requires systemd user services. Non-systemd Linux can run lucarned manually.

4. Open the Telegram panel (optional)

/panel

After the Lucarne panel appears, you can create workspaces, bind agents, resume historical sessions, and approve commands.

Common commands

lucarned doctor
lucarned paths
lucarned autostart status
lucarned autostart start
lucarned autostart stop
lucarned update
Homebrew service commands 
brew update
brew upgrade lucarned
brew services start lucarned
brew services restart lucarned
brew services stop lucarned

macOS/Linux config: ~/.lucarned/lucarned.yaml
Windows config:     %LOCALAPPDATA%\lucarned\lucarned.yaml
Logs:               lucarned paths

Configuration Example

See the full example at examples/lucarned.yaml.

After initialization, the active config lives at: ~/.lucarned/lucarned.yaml.

You can also override settings with environment variables:

export TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="123456:..."
export TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID="123456789"
export LUCARNE_AUTHORIZED_USER_IDS="111111,222222"

Usage

See the full command reference at docs/commands.md. This README keeps only the core paths.

WeChat: quote-to-route

  1. Lucarne pushes agent progress to WeChat.
  2. Quote a notification and reply; Lucarne automatically restores the matching agent session.
  3. Continue the conversation with the original context attached.

WeChat quote routing uses two strategies: it prefers message_id, then falls back to a quoted-text hash.

Telegram: mobile multi-agent console

  1. Send /panel in the entry chat.
  2. Tap New or send /aN to create an agent workspace.
  3. Enter the workspace topic and assign tasks to agents like a normal chat.
  4. When an agent asks for permission, tap [Approve] / [Deny].
  5. Send /status to inspect state, /interrupt to stop work, or /fork to branch a session.

Telegram workspaces map to Forum Topics. One project gets one topic; one topic can bind one live agent session.

  • Telegram supports every WeChat feature.
