Turing

Turing is an AI programming assistant similar to Claude Code, offered as a command-line CLI and an Electron desktop application built on an npm workspaces monorepo, with the core agent logic extracted into a shared, reusable package used by both front ends. A user asks questions or gives instructions in natural language, and the agent responds and edits code files directly.

Its capabilities include reading, writing and glob-searching files, running shell commands with permission interception, compressing and persisting context across long conversations, an agent loop that continues until the model naturally stops rather than a fixed turn limit, scheduled cron tasks, task management with dependency chains, Git worktree management for parallel branches, a pluggable skill system, an internal multi-agent message bus, and external channels for Telegram, Feishu and WeChat Work. A structured trace log records tool calls for performance analysis.

It connects to any model through a messages-style API, configurable per provider including a bearer-token auth mode. It is written in TypeScript.
