# SLICC > A browser-native AI agent for getting practical work done in and through the browser. SLICC (Self-Licking Ice Cream Cone) is an AI agent runtime that lives inside the browser. It controls the same browser instance it runs in — automating web apps using your logged-in sessions, running shell commands in a WASM-based Unix environment, and coordinating parallel agents across tabs. ## What it does - Automates any web app you're logged into (GitHub, Gmail, Jira, Slack, Salesforce, etc.) - Runs a real shell with 78 Unix commands, git, node, python3, and 17 custom tools - Spawns parallel sub-agents, each with their own sandbox and conversation - Learns new workflows from markdown skill files — no code, no deploys - Generates interactive UIs on the fly — from small chat panels to full web apps ## Architecture - Entirely client-side — no server, no API keys, nothing to approve - The agent sees your tabs, your sessions, your logged-in apps - Close the tab and it stops — that's the security model - Each "scoop" (sub-agent) gets its own isolated sandbox, shell, and conversation ## Install - Quick start: `npx sliccy` (requires Node 22+) - Global install: `npm install -g sliccy` - macOS desktop app and Chrome extension also available ## Links - Website: https://www.sliccy.com - Source: https://github.com/ai-ecoverse/slicc - Full documentation for LLMs: https://www.sliccy.com/llms-full.txt - License: Apache-2.0
