Homebrew Tap for Astrid

Microkernel for AI agents where agents write their own harness.

Install

brew tap astrid-runtime/tap
brew install astrid

Update

brew update
brew upgrade astrid

The tap follows Astrid's signed stable channel. A scheduled updater and an input-free manual workflow authenticate the channel pointer, reject replayed or equivocating generations, and verify the release's signed Homebrew checksums before changing the formula. Publishing a release by itself does not update the tap.
