prime-desk

Overview

Prime Desk is a desktop GUI for prime-agent. It is a desktop client that talks to the official binary over RPC and only renders; context, compaction, skills, subagents, and the IPython kernel remain inside prime-agent. The interface provides streaming text, reasoning, and tool calls in real time, with tool cards, collapsible thinking blocks, and markdown rendering. It also includes model switching with per-Mtok cost and a reasoning indicator, seven thinking levels, searchable sessions, auto titles, folders, chat actions, an agent tree, live subagent watching, file explorer, editor, usage panel, context bar, remote execution over SSH, HUD, control features, command palette, image attachments, multiple languages, and resizable panels. Requirements include Node.js 20+, prime-agent installed on PATH and authenticated, and Linux validated on Ubuntu 24.04; macOS and Windows are untested. Prime Desk has no account of its own and uses credentials already held by prime-agent. It can authenticate via subscription (/login) for Claude Pro/Max, ChatGPT Plus/Pro (Codex), GitHub Copilot, or via API key stored in ~/.prime/agent/auth.json. The usage panel shows accumulated cost, and the site warns that subscriptions used through a third-party harness are billed per token as extra usage.
