LiveFolders

LiveFolders provides a virtual filesystem designed to chain multiple tools into a single pipeline, allowing users to trigger complex workflows with one command. yaml configuration file, the platform enables the execution of multi-step pipelines through simple filesystem operations such as echo and cat. This approach eliminates the need for per-step JSON protocols, repeated model turns, or custom glue code, streamlining the process of tool integration and orchestration.

The system mounts a FUSE-based virtual filesystem on the user's machine, where each installed tool appears as a directory of plain files. When a file is read, LiveFolders interprets this as a tool invocation, with data passed between pipeline stages via standard input and output streams. This design allows agents or users familiar with shell commands to compose and execute toolchains without adopting new protocols. Documentation for tools is loaded only when accessed, minimizing unnecessary context loading.

LiveFolders supports concurrent shell session isolation, providing per-session invocation slots and asynchronous dispatch. It incorporates security features such as SIGKILL escalation and utilizes sandboxing technologies like Landlock on Linux and sandbox-exec on macOS. The platform is implemented in Rust and imposes zero dependencies on tool authors, aiming for efficiency and ease of integration.

0 license and is suitable for users seeking to automate and compose tool pipelines within a virtual filesystem environment. Its architecture is particularly relevant for those who prefer shell-based workflows or require efficient, reactive chaining of command-line tools.
