Bolt Cowork is an open-source, terminal-native file agent. Give it a task in plain language — it plans, asks for approval, and works inside a trusted workspace.
Operates inside trusted directories with exact-match trust and expanded denied patterns for sensitive files.
First-run setup stores API keys in the system keyring, not in configuration files.
Connect Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Mistral, Groq, or local Ollama/LM Studio models with guided key entry and verification — from the welcome screen or mid-session. Replace or remove a stored key anytime from the command palette.
Extend behavior with custom SKILL.md files. Global or project-local, keyword-matched automatically.
Connects to external tools via Model Context Protocol with approval gates and permission profiles.
Full TUI with modal approvals, a command palette reachable by Ctrl+P or live slash-suggestions as you type, live status, streaming cursor, and chat scrolling.
