FAQ

Before you wire it in.

What do I get after one install?

An isolated arthur command. arthur init detects your coding agents, writes /arthur-loop and MCP, and leaves a kickoff file. You also get the queue, artifact store, gates, decisions, status dashboard, and localhost console.

How do I specify how the loop is set up?

Run /arthur-loop in the agent init configured, or arthur loop create, or Roles / + Loop / Run next in arthur web. Interview: project, planner, implementer, reviewer, QA, tracker. Then arthur invokes the next role. Roles and run.

Which version is current?

The latest tag is v0.1.1. arthur --version prints arthur 0.1.1. The install commands track main; pin @v0.1.1 if you want the tag. There is no v0.2.0.

Is it free?

Yes. MIT licensed, no paid tier, no donation button on this site.

Where is my data? Does it phone home?

Markdown and JSONL in the instance directory you choose. The core does not phone home or require an API key.

Which platforms work?

The Python CLI is exercised on macOS and Linux. Windows is experimental. ArthurBar is macOS 14+.

Can I watch the loop from the Mac menu bar?

Yes. ArthurBar is a separate macOS 14+ install — pipx, uv, and the CLI curl installer do not include it. After arthur is installed:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/myrrazor/arthur-loop/main/menubar/install.sh | sh
ArthurBar --root ~/my-loop

The popover's quota bar is the loop's governor: percent left, reset time, GREEN / YELLOW / RED for the agents you configured. At the reserve line the loop checkpoints. The ∞ icon badges when a human decision or stale job needs you. Full page: Menu bar.

How do I get support?

Open a GitHub issue. This site does not collect email and does not list a personal inbox.

How do I update or uninstall?

Repeat pipx, uv, or curl (add --force for pipx/uv). Uninstall with pipx uninstall arthur-loop or delete ~/.arthur-loop and ~/.local/bin/arthur.

How do I delete my data?

Stop Arthur Loop, then delete the instance directory you chose and any backups. Adapters may leave data in tools you configured; remove that there separately.
