The Helm.
An all-in-one agentic studio. From a single interface, you build and operate a complete product — kanban, code, preview, memory, infrastructure — with AI agents steered by a human. You are the orchestrator: more control, and you ship faster.
Agent wrappers all look alike. SOKKAN does the one thing that compounds over time: your project memory is automatically injected into every session at spawn — starting a task is the “check your memory” ritual.
Semantic recall (local RAG, ONNX embeddings — no external service) over the notes your sessions write. Every new session starts knowing what the previous ones learned.
Multi-session chat built on the Claude Agent SDK: permission requests and questions become buttons. Nothing irreversible without your click. Nothing reaches Done without you.
A card describes the task; ▶ spawn opens a pre-contexted session that proposes a plan and waits for your go. Per-session costs, an audit journal for every action.
Real demo: the session pulls the answer from the project memory, recovers the API port and the deployment target — facts that only exist in the notes — then proposes a plan and waits for your go.
The Board: priorities, due dates, checklists — and on every card, ▶ spawn opens a session pre-seeded with the task description. Every move lands in the audit journal.
Docker + your Anthropic API key (or your Claude Pro/Max subscription). Everything stays on your machine.

The script downloads the latest release from sokkan.ch, generates your access token and guides you.
Sources: tarball · script — read it before piping to sh, obviously.
SOKKAN is open source (Apache-2.0) — born as the internal cockpit running
ninjob.ch and the NINABOT products, extracted because
memory is the part that compounds. Self-hosted and BYOK: free, no limits.
Community repo: github.com/ninabot-ch/sokkan — the code itself also downloads right here.
A managed cloud, operated in Switzerland, is in the works: you pay for the operation, not for un-crippled features.
