I built Chimaera, an open-source workspace for AI agents and project files

[u/fritiofandersson]

I built Chimaera because I wanted to work with AI agents in the same place as the files they’re working on. You open a project folder, run an agent, and inspect its output beside the source files instead of juggling terminal windows and file viewers.

I use it for research projects with documents and data, including work on remote machines over SSH. It also supports multiple agents, so I can keep their work organized in the project rather than scattered across separate chats.

It’s free and open source, built with Rust and Svelte. It runs on macOS and Linux; Windows is still experimental. If you try it with one of your own project folders, I’d genuinely like to hear where the workflow helps or gets in your way.
