AN AI WORKSHOP
THAT REMEMBERS.Most AI tools wake up with amnesia. Athena is an ecosystem of open‑source, local‑first tools that keep durable memory of your work — a desktop command room for coding agents, a terminal agent that recalls past sessions, a mobile companion, and system‑wide voice dictation. Memory, history, and orchestration stay on your machine — no LuckeySystems cloud required.

SEE IT IN ACTION FIG. 002 — ATHENA CODE, SECOND SESSION
\~/projects/api-server — athena-code MEM: 0 FACTS
Athena Code freezes one deterministic memory snapshot per session, recalls related facts on every turn, and indexes prior conversations — its own and your local Claude Code, Codex, opencode, and Hermes histories — with SQLite FTS5.
THE INSTRUMENTS 04 CORE TOOLS
ATHENA\_DESKTOP
A local command room for AI coding agents. One Electron app embeds native terminals for Codex, OpenCode, Claude Code, and Hermes, resumes sessions already on disk, generates bounded project handoffs, and keeps recall context ready for the next fresh agent. MCP bridge included, so your agent can drive the workspace itself.

ATHENA\_CODE
A terminal AI coding agent with persistent local memory. It saves stable facts and decisions, automatically recalls what's relevant each turn, and searches across every past session — without shipping your context to anyone. A memory-focused fork of OpenCode with native `memory_write`, `memory_read`, and `session_recall` tools.
ATHENA\_MOBILE
Your workshop, from the couch. A PWA companion that reaches the Athena desktop over Tailscale — served from loopback and published privately over your tailnet, with a same-origin proxy into Athena's localhost-only backend. Check on agents and sessions from your phone while the work stays on your machine, off the public internet.
ATHENA\_WHISPER
Talk to any text field on your desktop. A floating always-on-top widget that records, transcribes locally with faster-whisper, cleans up spoken punctuation, and types the result into terminals, coding agents, browsers — whatever has focus. The local-first answer to cloud dictation tools like Wispr Flow.
THE WIDER BENCH SUPPORTING REPOS
sessions-search Search across all your Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode and Hermes sessions. ambient-ai Local context substrate — gathers ambient signals, compacts them, hands clean context to any agent. athena-usage-tracker Local dashboard for Codex and Claude Code usage limits. hermes-mobile Private PWA bridge for the Hermes gateway, with same-origin REST/SSE proxying. OpenGolem Open-source desktop AI coding agent with OAuth, workspace isolation, skills, and MCP. \+ everything else 17 original repos (21 public including forks) and counting. All of it readable, forkable, yours. ↗
OPERATING PRINCIPLES FIG. 003 — WHY WE BUILD LIKE THIS
I.
#### LOCAL-FIRST, ALWAYS
Memory, recall, transcripts, and audio live in files on your disk. The hot paths need no backend service and no account. The cloud is an option, never a dependency.
II.
#### MEMORY IS THE PRODUCT
An agent that forgets your architecture every morning isn't a colleague, it's an intern on their first day — forever. Every Athena tool reads and writes durable, searchable context.
III.
#### AGENT-AGNOSTIC
Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Hermes — bring whichever agent you already pay for. Athena is the workshop around them, not another walled garden.
IV.
#### ACTUALLY OPEN
Readable code, real install scripts, checksummed releases. Athena Code is MIT licensed; every repo is public and source-available. If you can't read it, fork it, and run it offline, it isn't yours.
THE LUCKEYSYSTEMS FOUNDATION FIG. 004 — STEWARDSHIP
GOOD TOOLS SHOULD OUTLIVE THEIR MAKERS.
The LuckeySystems Foundation will be the permanent steward of the Athena ecosystem. Software you depend on shouldn't vanish behind an acquisition, a pivot, or a maintainer's bad year — so the foundation is being formed to keep these tools open, local-first, and maintained, independent of any one company, cloud, or person. It will hold the projects in trust for the people who run them. The vision, draft charter, and roadmap are published in the open while it takes shape.
READ THE VISION ↗ IN FORMATION ✳ WILL HOLD THE ATHENA MARKS IN TRUST
A.
#### KEEP IT OPEN
Athena Code ships under the MIT license, and every Athena project stays open — with explicit open licenses added as the foundation takes each repo into trust. The foundation will hold the repositories and marks so no buyout or rug-pull can ever close the source behind you.
B.
#### GUARD LOCAL-FIRST
Local-first is constitutional, not a feature flag. Anything that requires a cloud account, a subscription, or telemetry to function does not ship in an Athena core tool.
C.
#### FUND THE WORK
Contributions go where the work is: maintainer time, CI runners, release infrastructure, and code-signing certificates — published in the open like everything else.
D.
#### GROW THE BENCH
The ecosystem outgrows its founder by design. The foundation mentors new contributors and adopts tools that share the charter, so the workshop keeps getting bigger.
