> Sprocket is an AI agent for hardware and software projects. It edits code, runs commands, designs circuit boards in KiCad, and buys parts with your approval.

Sprocket is an AI agent that works in a folder on your computer. It reads and edits files, runs commands, browses the web, and opens pull requests. It also designs schematics and circuit boards in KiCad and pays for parts at online checkouts with your approval.

You can use Sprocket three ways:

* The desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
* The web app in your browser, started with `npx usesprocket --web`.
* The `sprocket` CLI, which runs tasks from your terminal.

All three talk to a local Sprocket server on your machine. The agent runs as your user on your real files, and its commands aren't sandboxed.
