[!WARNING] Version 2 is unstable alpha! This new version is still under heavy development and needs work before it becomes stable. Expect breaking changes, rough edges, and incomplete features. Not recommended for production use yet.

Cheshire Cat AI (Stregatto)

Best framework to learn how AI agents work.

It is designed bottom up to be easy to understand and easy to extend via vibe coding / agentic engineering.

Give the project a star ⭐ if you like creative cats!

Wikipedia picture of the Cheshire Cat

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where--" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.
