Kilin

Kilin is a local, CLI-first workflow runtime. You define a finite workflow in ordinary files, validate it before execution, and run it through supported Codex, Claude Code, or OpenCode installations.

Kilin keeps orchestration explicit:

• workflows are scope-based files in project or user locations;
• execution stays attached to the foreground CLI;
• approvals are explicit barriers;
• writable work never overlaps another node;
• results, logs, decisions, and lineage remain inspectable locally; and
• the optional Viewer binds only to the local loopback interface.
