# What is Narya?

> Learn how Narya uses a local host, thin clients, and compiled Go extensions.

<Note>
  Narya is in active development. This page reflects the current development branch and is not a general-availability commitment.
</Note>

Narya is a coding agent written in Go. You can reshape it through extensions that are Go packages compiled into the binary, rather than scripts loaded at startup.

## How it works

Narya uses a long-running host to own session state and thin clients to interact with it. By default, the host and clients communicate through a local Unix socket, so session data stays on the developer's machine.

The current development branch includes an inline terminal client, a full-screen client started with `narya --tui`, and a one-shot command started with `narya -p`.

## Integrations and extensions

Public integrations use Narya's generated HTTP contract over the host's local Unix socket. You can use that contract from any language to build an out-of-process integration.

Compiled Go extensions are a Lerian-internal build mechanism. Adding one rebuilds the binary; if two internal extensions claim the same replaceable component, Narya reports the conflict during the build instead of resolving it while a session is running.

## Development availability

Narya is documented here as a Developer Tool, separate from Lerian's core banking platform. Its behavior and public availability can change before general availability.
