KeepState
ai.keepstatePublished by keepstate.aiv0.1.38Updated Nov 7, 2026
Durable agent sessions: start, watch, message and pause KeepState agents; approvals ask a person.
The publisher's own server: Keep
Overview
KeepState lets an assistant start, watch, message and pause durable AI agent sessions that run in microVMs and resume after checkpointing.
- What you can do
- Start, watch, message and pause durable KeepState agent sessions
- Checkpoint, kill and wake sessions so files, memory and running processes resume intact
- Run Cruise jobs: draft a goal-and-check manifest, approve it, run it, and check status, logs, spend and verdict
- Retrieve the accepted artifact of a finished job
- Check connectivity, token and version, and self-update the client
- When to use it
- Useful when you want an assistant to drive long-running coding agents that must survive interruptions, or to run a goal against a repository with a verifiable check and a model ladder, with human approval before anything is accepted.
- Requirements
- A local process installed via npm (npx @keepstateai/cli), Homebrew or an install script; desktop only. A KeepState account signed in through a browser device flow (ks login), plus network access to the KeepState control plane. No environment variables or headers are declared.
Installation
In SourceWeft
- Open KeepState in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.
Other MCP clients
Follow the launch instructions in the repository.
README
ks — the KeepState CLI
Durable agent sessions: run an AI agent in a microVM, checkpoint it, kill it, wake it — and it resumes mid-sentence, files, memory, and running processes intact.
This is the thin client. Every verb terminates at the KeepState control plane; the client is a key, the building is keepstate.ai.
Install (any one of three)
Every path downloads the same public-CI-built binary and verifies its
SHA256 against the release's SHA256SUMS before installing. Releases
carry GitHub build-provenance attestations.
Three commands to a session
ks doctor checks connectivity, token, and version. ks update
self-updates (checksum-verified; a mismatch is refused).
Cruise
A Cruise job is a goal, a check and a ladder of models. The fleet runs one attempt per rung from an exact save point, verifies the candidate in a verifier the agent cannot reach, and accepts only when the check passes. A failed rung escalates to the next one; after the last rung the job waits in your review queue. Nothing is accepted on a model's word.
init reads the repository: the check is the test command it finds
(pytest, npm test, go test) or the one you name with --tests. A
goal with no check is not a job; init stops and says so. It makes no
request and never calls a model. approve records the manifest's digest;
run refuses a draft that is not approved, a test or workspace changed
since approve, and a workspace over 50 MiB (.git and .keepstate
excluded). Defaults: 1800 s per attempt and a $2 spend ceiling
(--spend); the ladder comes from the model table (ks cruise models,
--ladder family:model,...). ks cruise logs, cancel and resume
complete the set. Every --help makes no request.
