The family
Four sibling distributions. One engine.
One desktop engine, governance gate, audit logger, and spatial-memory layer — bound into four surfaces. Periphery is the MCP server (also the umbrella brand at periphery.ai). PeriCode CLI, Inside, and Sidecar are the three local-agent surfaces sharing the PeriCode brand prefix. Pick the form factor your work already lives in; use more than one when it helps.
Standalone CLI
PeriCode CLI
Standalone Ink TUI agent. 8 provider adapters with real OAuth, prompt caching, fallback chain, embedded desktop engine. The main thing you run directly.

External UIA attach
PeriCode Sidecar
Persistent Windows tray process driving opaque apps from outside via UI Automation. For native software (SAP GUI, AutoCAD, legacy ERP) with no plugin model.
Concept · build on demand
Shared engine across all four: DXGI capture, UI Automation, Windows.Media.Ocr fast path, spatial memory v2 with
topology_hash + DPI tag + adaptive confidence decay, governance_dry_run, trigger_emergency_stop, audit logger. Built once in desktop-engine/; bound into each distribution.
Companion projects
Sibling MCP servers that pair well.
Standalone MCPs that aren't part of the four-distribution family but ship alongside it and integrate cleanly with any client (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, PeriCode CLI, or PeriCode Inside).
