One terminal.|

The Unified Engineering Terminal.

Code, deploy, debug, investigate production systems, run workflows, and automate repetitive work from a single environment.

$ curl -fsSL https://centauruslabs.in/install.sh | sh

Installs Node.js automatically if not present, then installs Centaurus CLI via npm.

Everything happens here

Commands, AI, deployments, all from one place.

No context switching. No tool switching. No mode switching. Everything your engineering workflow needs lives in a single terminal.

One Workspace. Many Tasks.

Keep everything running.

Run development servers, monitor logs, maintain SSH sessions, and delegate AI work without opening additional terminals. Everything stays running while you continue working.

Environment awareness

One terminal. Every environment.

Move across local machines, remote servers, containers, and clusters without leaving Centaurus. The terminal understands where work is happening and keeps context intact the whole way through.

  • SSH, Docker, and WSL — hop between environments without losing context.
  • Tools run in the active environment automatically, with the same safety controls.
  • Return to your local machine instantly when you exit a remote session.
centaurus — remote sessions
local ~/projects/api $ ssh deploy@api.centaurus.dev
↳ connected · same model · same conversation
ssh deploy@api $ docker exec -it worker-3 bash
↳ still connected · ssh → docker

Workflow engine

Perform a workflow once. Save it. Run it forever.

Every task can become a workflow. Deployments, incident response, validation checks, environment setup — define them once and run them with a single command, every time. Workflows span local, SSH, Docker, WSL, and multiple servers. Teach Centaurus how you work, then replay that workflow whenever you need it.

  • Cross-environment workflows — span local, SSH, Docker, WSL, and multiple servers.
  • Workflows for deployments, debugging, incident response, and more.
  • Write in plain Markdown — no special syntax or config files.
  • Hooks trigger custom scripts at every AI action, automatically.
  • Capture once, replay forever — reduce repetitive work.

Teach Once. Run Forever.

Many engineering processes are repetitive.

Perform a workflow once. Save it. Run it forever.

Centaurus replays the process automatically.

Example: Release check workflow

Define a workflow once, then execute it with a single command.

>Workflow definition

2. Run tests
3. Deploy staging
4. Verify health
5. Generate report

Codebase search

Find code without leaving the terminal.

Search your codebase from the same environment where you write, test, and deploy. Centaurus searches in parallel and returns the exact file and line you need.

  • Searches in parallel — plans, greps, and reads files simultaneously.
  • Always current — no indexes to build, no caches to invalidate.
  • Scoped search — focus on specific directories when precision matters.

The Four Pillars

Four principles. One terminal.

Centaurus isn't an AI tool bolted onto a shell. It's a terminal rebuilt around the way engineering teams actually work.

01

Unified Terminal

Everything happens in one interface. Commands, AI requests, workflow invocations, and environment operations all share the same input.

02

Environment Awareness

The terminal understands where work is occurring. Move across local, SSH, Docker, and WSL without losing context.

03

Workflow Intelligence

The terminal learns, records, and automates engineering processes. Workflows span local, SSH, Docker, WSL, and multiple servers.

04

Persistent Workspace

Background tasks, shells, servers, logs, and AI agents remain active while work continues. Everything stays running.

Web research, inline

Answers with citations.

Ask a question, get the answer and the sources. Centaurus fetches, reads, and synthesizes — not just search results.
