Show HN: Yorishiro – a macOS terminal where AI agents live

Yorishiro is an open source project that gives Claude Code / Codex a body-like anime character. The name “Yorishiro” in Japanese means an object inhabited by spirit.

My first idea started comunicating with AI agent long time by terminal is very tired. Because AI agent is no face, no expression, no body, and I don’t see they think. So I provided a 3D body and inhabited environment to AI agent. I call it “Presence Harness”.

I devise many idea, for example, reflex function. "Aura" is white light moving instantly. It shows things to focus on before replying by LLM. When AI agent wait for your approve, the room lights flash to notify. “Yori” who is Yorishiro character express sad if AI agent encounter errors. If git push is seccess, Yori is happy face and fireworks are being launched.

Then, Yorishiro has a self reference MCP. AI agents in Yorishiro control light, body, scene, UI, effects, and so on. Yorishiro has extention supporting hot reload. Yorishiro builds itself. I love Emacs, so I make it to a self modifiable terminal.

If you want to try it,

  brew install --cask sktkkoo/yorishiro/yorishiro

I’m Japanese and not good at English. Thank you for your reading.

Surprised this hasn't gotten more attention or comments.

Im going to try it, sounds interesting.

The draw cost is not as heavy as it looks, because it is limited to 30 fps. And I avoid unnecessary rendering when you hide the sidebar window. I’m considering performance mode which is controlled resolution and post processing effects. Thanks!
