A team-specialized IDE built from scratch by assembling best-in-class components behind a Rust core that runs identically on the host or inside the workspace's container.

• Built-in support for TS / Rust / Go
• Native git-blame-on-hover
• First-class linters/formatters: oxlint, oxfmt, prettier, eslint (+ plugins)
• In-process coding agent ("coder"): Hugging Face Inference Providers via OAuth device-flow sign-in, container-aware tools, sessions backed by an HF private bucket
• Multi-repo workspaces with cross-repo agent queries
• Containerised dev shells as a first-class concept: terminal/LSP/lint/format/build run in a single per-workspace container, only explicitly forwarded ports cross to the host
• Innovative UIs (the web is the reason we picked Tauri)

• Tauri 2 (Rust backend + webview UI)
• Svelte 5 + TypeScript + Vite frontend
• CodeMirror 6 editor
• @pierre/trees (vanilla mode) for the file tree

See specs/architecture.md for the high-level design and specs/ for everything else.

Supported hosts: macOS on Apple Silicon and Linux (x86_64 and arm64). Windows isn't supported.

Common to both:

• Rust 1.90+ (rustup default stable)
• Node 20+ (we use 24)
• Bun (preferred) or pnpm

xcode-select --install
brew install rust bun

# Linux Mint / Ubuntu 24+
sudo apt install -y libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev libsoup-3.0-dev libgtk-3-dev \
    libayatana-appindicator3-dev librsvg2-dev libssl-dev pkg-config

WebKitGTK provides the webview the Tauri app loads at runtime, so this set is required at both build and launch time.

bun install
bun run build:bin
./target/release/moon-desktop

Phased delivery rule — each phase ends with a hand-back to a human reviewer. AI agents do not start the next phase on their own. See AGENTS.md.

• Publish the moon-base Docker image to Docker Hub. The workspace dev image (huggingface/moon-base) must actually exist on Docker Hub so a fresh clone can pull it instead of building locally. See images/moon-base/README.md and ADR 0007.
• Improve the default model / provider onboarding. Right now the flow assumes you connect to Hugging Face first, and the default model choice after connecting could be better. Ideally:
  • Pick a sensible default model automatically after connecting to HF.
  • Let the editor be used without connecting to HF at all, as long as a model provider is supplied another way.
  • Rework the flow around "set the LLM provider" — connecting to HF becomes one option that's triggered (e.g. via the cloud icon) only when an HF provider is chosen.
