local workbench for creating and replaying AI work

Telos is a zero-dependency local workbench for creating, simulating, and replaying AI work. Its CLI and MCP servers expose workstation checks, creative simulations, research proofs, model and learning experiments, and browser or Windows automation, with a re-checkable receipt for each run.

Relation-backed claims

  • Flywheel includes Telos as a lane
    Flywheel 1.0.4 declares the Telos MCP workbench as a lane and disables its package: no npm distribution is published, so the lane runs from a Telos source checkout.

Current evidence

Telos v0.4.1

Verified

How we know

The v0.4.1 GitHub release was published on 23 September 2026 (Pacific time) and is the latest GitHub release. No npm package is published: project-telos-mcp is absent from the npm registry, and Flywheel 1.0.4 runs the Telos lane from a source checkout.

Telos public source

Verified

How we know

The package metadata identifies Telos 0.2.0, the latest GitHub tag found was v0.1.0, and the README describes a local MCP workbench with native tools, proof lanes, research packets, model foundry, and replayable sessions.

Limitations and authorization boundaries

  • Pre-1.0 interfaces may change.
  • A research packet does not by itself prove causal discovery, robot safety, or hardware fault-tolerance claims.

Authorization boundary. Run workstation actions and external effects only with the user's explicit approval and within each tool's own checks.
