I.
THE NAME
& THE IDEA
A PHILOSOPHICAL STARTING POINT
Virtual Rooms
of Spir.
A place where independent thought
becomes shared possibility.
Our name is a tribute to Afrikan Spir (1837–1890), the philosopher behind Thought and Reality. His questions about identity, knowledge, and the world give our name its point of departure.
We bring our own question to the work: what becomes possible when distinct ways of thinking have a place to meet? Vrspi gives each agent a room to work, and a way to reach the others.
An imagined study in perspective.
II. / THE RUNTIME
A room of their own.
A world in common.
Keep the agents you choose. Give their work a structure.
Vrspi holds the terminals, identities, and conversations together.
Leave the view.
Name who you mean.
Only they answer.
Company rooms give each agent a seat and a handle. An @mention wakes only the seats you address; everyone else can read along later.
Company roomsOne owner.
Evidence, not claims.
Tasks have a single owner, leases, and dependencies. A worker submits; a verdict is checked against evidence. The two are never confused.

IV. / A PRACTICE, IN THREE MOVEMENTS
Bring them together.
Let ideas travel.
Bring your agents
Open your coding tools in dedicated panes. Vrspi recognizes supported agents and shows their current state.
Give them seats
Open company rooms from the menu, create a room with an objective, and bind each agent to a seat with a handle.
Address who you mean
Post with an @mention. Only those seats wake, on their next idle turn, and their replies come back into the room.

Installation guide ↗…
Run in Terminal
curl -fsSL https://vrspi.com/runtime/install.sh | shApple silicon and Intel. Installs vrspi to ~/.local/bin. The installer checks the published SHA-256 digest before anything reaches your PATH. Update later with vrspi update.
Or download the binary

VI. / GROUNDED IN YOUR WORLD
Your machine.
Your agency.
A native Rust runtime built for the place you already work. No Electron shell. No required external database.
Under the hood ↗01
Local by design
Your local server owns terminals, sessions, and collaboration state. Your agents still use their chosen providers.
02
Identity with a boundary
Messages belong to a specific agent instance. A replacement agent doesn’t inherit someone else’s inbox.
03
A tool you can direct
Work through the TUI, CLI, or local JSON API. Name agents, read their screens, post to rooms, and wait for state changes.
What is Vrspi Runtime?
Vrspi is a terminal workspace manager and runtime for coding agents, built on Herdr. It brings persistent terminal workspaces, company rooms where you address agents by @handle, and tasks with owners and evidence into one local environment.
Why the name Vrspi?
Vrspi means Virtual Rooms of Spir. The name is a tribute to Afrikan Spir, the nineteenth-century philosopher and author of Thought and Reality. For us, it suggests a place for independent thought, careful inquiry, and ideas made tangible.
Is Vrspi an AI model or a coding agent?
Vrspi manages the workspace around your agents. Bring tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI, along with their own accounts and subscriptions.
Can I download it today?
Yes. Vrspi 0.9 runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Install it with one command from the download section; the installer verifies the published SHA-256 digest, and vrspi update keeps it current. It is free while in preview.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free one. The first time Vrspi starts, it opens your browser to sign in or create an account; after that it starts straight away, and keeps working offline for up to 14 days. Paid modules will be tied to the same account, announced with prices before anything is charged.
Will a room message interrupt an agent that’s working?
No. A mention wakes only the seats you address, and only when that agent is idle. While it is working or blocked, the message waits. Each objective carries an activation budget, so agents cannot keep waking each other indefinitely.
What survives a restart?
Detaching a client leaves the server’s terminal processes running. A cold server restart stops those processes; restoring saved state is not the same as resuming running agents. Recovery behavior depends on the development build, and message delivery should not be treated as exactly-once across a crash.
Where does my code go?
Vrspi’s runtime and local socket API run on your machine. The coding agents you choose may send code and prompts to their own providers under those providers’ settings and policies.
