Docs · Source · pip install awstorage · The Aither World

The Aither World is an operating system for agents — a Linux you can hand to one, the runtimes it works in, and the tools it works with. awnix is the Linux underneath it; awstorage is one of its 64 bricks — each installs on its own, runs offline, and needs no account.

Start here: Scan one drive and read a ranked inventory of what fills it, with each tree marked re-fetchable or not.

Every drive on every node, indexed, classified and diffed – so you can see what you own before you delete it.

pip install git+https://github.com/Aitherium/awstorage.git
awstorage scan E:/ --depth 3 --catalog inventory.db
awstorage inventory --catalog inventory.db
awstorage propose --catalog inventory.db --snapshot 1
awstorage apply   --catalog inventory.db --proposal 3 --root E:/        # dry run
awstorage apply   --catalog inventory.db --proposal 3 --root E:/ --yes  # quarantine it
awstorage revert  E:/.awstorage-quarantine/3-20260901T230000            # changed your mind

Stdlib only. Works alone, offline, on the box whose disk is full.

What it does

  1. Scan a root into a snapshot: every directory tree to a bounded depth with its bytes, file count and newest mtime, plus the largest files. Bounded by a time budget; a scan that runs out marks the snapshot TRUNCATED instead of printing a total that looks complete and is not.
  2. Classify each tree: package-cache, build-temp, model-weights, container-store, dataset, backup, repo, logs, service-state, media, vm-disk, unknown – and whether it is re-fetchable. Heuristics offline; plug any complete(prompt) -> str model callable into LLMClassifier and every verdict records whether a rule or a model made it, so a wrong call is auditable.
  3. Catalog snapshots in SQLite and diff them: what appeared, vanished, grew and shrank since last time. “What filled the disk?” becomes a query.
  4. Propose actions under a written policy. Rules pre-approve only re-fetchable classes past a size and an age; service-state, dataset, vm-disk, backup and unknown are never auto. Everything else is proposed for a human to approve.
  5. Apply – dry run by default. A delete is a quarantine: the tree is renamed onto the same volume under <root>/.awstorage-quarantine/, revert puts it back byte-for-byte, and only quarantine --purge-older-than N --yes reclaims the bytes. apply refuses anything outside the declared roots, anything that changed since the scan, and anything neither pre-approved nor approved. Every outcome is ledgered.

Python

import awstorage
from pathlib import Path

snap = awstorage.classify_snapshot(awstorage.scan(Path("E:/"), max_depth=3))
cat = awstorage.Catalog("inventory.db")
sid = cat.put_snapshot(snap)
for row in awstorage.rank(snap)[:10]:
    print(row["exclusive_bytes"], row["cls"], row["refetchable"], row["path"])
props = awstorage.propose(snap, awstorage.default_policy(), snapshot_id=sid)
awstorage.apply(props[0], roots=[Path("E:/")], dry_run=True)

The aw family

Standalone tools that share one idea: replace something you would otherwise have to trust with something you can check.

Each installs on its own, works offline, and needs no account.

  instead of trusting you check
awdk a framework’s idea of how your agents should run one loop you can read, pointed at a backend you already pay for
awskills that an agent knows your procedure the procedure written down, versioned, and loadable by any agent
awpack that the pack you want shipped inside somebody’s SDK, under whatever licence that SDK happens to carry the pack as its own versioned artifact, with its own licence, that any agent runtime can install
awm that memory stayed in its lane tenant:user:project scopes, so a write cannot cross a boundary
awdesk that the agent is somewhere behind a browser tab a tray icon, a face on your desktop, and the decision card that pops when it needs you
awnode a vendor’s cloud with every prompt a local gateway routing to backends you chose
awgraph that grep found everything an AST + tree-sitter call graph an agent can traverse
awgit that no one else is editing this file a lease, refused at commit time if you do not hold it
awdelphi one agent’s confident take on a decision the round trace, the anonymity, and who dissents
awclassify a filename, a folder, or whoever last touched it doc_type, visibility, audience and topics, with the evidence lines that decided each
awtoll that your tooling is saving you context the measured token cost of each tool call, and what the alternative cost
awseal that the artifact came from who you think an Ed25519 seal — the key that verifies is not the key that forges
awshare that the download is intact content-addressed bundles, verified on fetch
awnest that there is a person on the other end a verdict with evidence, where “we could not tell” is not “yes”
awrena a leaderboard someone can edit, and votes nobody counted a scored duel with both answers kept, and a result bound to them
awnboard a share link anyone who sees it can use an invitation addressed to one person, for one gate, revocable
awnix that the box is what you left it as an immutable image you built, with atomic rollback
awrecover that the restore worked a restore that fully lands or does not land at all
awstorage (you are here) a du you ran last month, and a peers file that says 3 TB free an inventory snapshot per node with a diff since the last one, and each tree classified re-fetchable or not
awrelay a SaaS in the middle of your agents findings, alerts and coordination over your own transport
awask that anyone read the paragraph where you asked the ask itself, with a button that steers the session that raised it
awmail a mailbox somebody else can read mail your agents send and receive over your own server
awswarm that a model either fits your GPU or it doesn’t run at all a placement plan and an acquisition-probability estimate before you spend on a run
awfind one vendor’s idea of the web results from whichever providers you configured
awbrowse that the page said what you were told the render, the DOM and the requests it made
awvoice that a cloud vendor may hold your audio a transcript and a wav from a service you host
awvision a filename and a caption somebody wrote what a model actually reports about the pixels
awscreen a selector that was true when the page was written the elements actually rendered, by what they look like
awbeads that a layout your users built survives the next deploy the arrangement as data you can read back, diff, and hand to another surface
awbonsai that inference always means a request left the machine a WebGPU model answering on the tab’s own GPU, with a consent record logged before it ever loaded
gawbbonet the model to keep a 300-message campaign coherent by itself campaign facts recalled from scoped memory you can list and edit
aitherkvcache a vendor’s quantisation defaults sub-byte KV cache kernels you can benchmark yourself
awrtifact a hand-rolled split script and a hand-edited worker manifest byte-verified parts in a release, served with Range + CORS, sizes asserted by a live gate
AitherZero a pile of scripts nobody has numbered numbered, discoverable automation with declarative playbooks
AitherConnect what a page tells your browser to do a federated search and desktop bridge you host
awreason a confident paragraph the phases it went through, and every tool call it made to get there
awrecurse that everything you pasted in was actually read which slices it opened, and what it concluded from each
awprism the first explanation that fits the ranked alternatives, and the observation that separates them
awrepl what the agent believes the value is the value, printed from the live session
awreport that the report you pasted carried no token in it a redacted report, and the duplicate it merged into instead of filing twice
awresearch a summary of pages nobody opened every claim against the source it came from
awfocus twelve terminal tabs and a bad memory one command that names every session, finds any transcript, and opens or steers the one you want
awgym that a world model learned anything from the games it saw transitions captured from real play, fed back, and the retrodiction score falling on grids it never saw
awpredict a model because it trained without erroring its prediction against a self-updating lookup, on the rows that are actually novel
awevolve that your optimisation loop is finding anything every version it kept, the score that version earned, and the edit that produced it
awsh that you already know the name of the command what it decided your line meant, before it acts on it
awrise that a scheduled agent ran at all, and ran exactly once a durable record of every wake – fired, skipped, overlapped or timed out – each with its reason
awkno that the docs site is up, or that you remember the family the whole ecosystem in your terminal, with no network at all
awwall that a service only talks to the hosts you think it talks to an explicit egress allowlist, where a denial names the rule that denied it
awembed a general-purpose embedder that has never seen your code a held-out split of whole directories, scored teacher vs student vs int8
awtax a closed tax app’s sealed file you can never read again a plain, provider-neutral schema of every figure, with the page it came from
awsettings that you will remember to re-approve the same thing on every box you work from one profile, unioned rather than overwritten, with the credentials left behind
awavatar a cloud 3D vendor’s opaque task id a manifest with a sha256, a licence and a rig-audit verdict per file

awnix is the ground floor — A Linux you can hand to an agent — immutable base, capabilities included.

The Aitherium ecosystem

Every repository here is public. Each publishes an aither-manifest.json beside its page, so any surface can read every sibling’s — the network is browsable from any node in it.
