Rome shipped as an 'agentic OS' with a cloud, an app store and agents that write their own harnesses
GitHub·medium signal
rome-os/rome went public 2026-08-23 and reached 183 stars and 11 forks by the next day, MIT-licensed TypeScript. Its pitch is explicitly not model scaling: it scales the environment, meaning the tools, workflows, memory and interfaces an agent works inside, and agents are expected to build their own harnesses and SOPs that then persist. It launched with a hosted tier at romeos.cc, docs and an app store already live, which is unusual for a day-one repo.
