Amplifier Component Catalog
June 25, 2026 · View on GitHub
Amplifier's modular architecture allows you to mix and match capabilities. This page catalogs all available components in the Amplifier ecosystem—core infrastructure, applications, libraries, bundles, and runtime modules.
Core Infrastructure
The foundational kernel that everything builds on.
| Component | Description | Repository |
|---|---|---|
| amplifier-core | Ultra-thin kernel for modular AI agent system | amplifier-core |
Applications
User-facing applications that compose libraries and modules.
| Component | Description | Repository |
|---|---|---|
| amplifier | Main Amplifier project and entry point - installs amplifier-app-cli via uv tool install | amplifier |
| amplifier-app-actions | AI-powered GitHub Actions for automated issue triage and PR review | amplifier-app-actions |
| amplifier-app-cli | Reference CLI application implementing the Amplifier platform | amplifier-app-cli |
| amplifier-agent | Thin wrapper around the Amplifier kernel as a per-turn stdio subprocess — anything that can spawn a subprocess (shell scripts, Node, Python, chat bots, IDE plugins) can use it as an agentic AI backend. Emits one JSON envelope per invocation | amplifier-agent |
| amplifier-app-nanoclaw | Setup and integration for running NanoClaw — a small, auditable AI-assistant harness that routes messages from channels (CLI, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp) into per-agent Docker containers — on top of amplifier-agent as the agent backend | amplifier-app-nanoclaw |
| amplifier-app-opencode | One-command launcher (amplifier-opencode) that auto-configures the opencode TUI on top of amplifier-agent's OpenAI-compatible HTTP face — discovers live models from /v1/models, writes a working opencode config from that discovery, and starts the backend server if needed | amplifier-app-opencode |
| amplifier-app-paperclip | Setup and integration for running paperclip with the amplifier_local adapter — paperclip agents run on the Amplifier engine via amplifier-agent, per-turn | amplifier-app-paperclip |
| amplifier-eval-harness | Configurable test harness for evaluating Amplifier bundles across scenarios and providers in isolated Digital Twin Universe environments. Captures wall time, LLM time, per-call tokens, cache traffic, request counts, and per-provider/model breakdowns across the full session tree (parent + every sub-session) for cross-bundle and cross-provider comparison. | amplifier-eval-harness |
| amplifier-app-log-viewer | Web-based log viewer for debugging sessions with real-time updates | amplifier-app-log-viewer |
| amplifier-app-benchmarks | Benchmarking and evaluating Amplifier | amplifier-app-benchmarks |
| amplifierd | Localhost HTTP daemon exposing amplifier-core and amplifier-foundation over REST and SSE - drive sessions from any language or framework | amplifierd |
| amplifier-chat | Chat UI plugin for amplifierd - browser-based conversational interface for creating and managing Amplifier sessions | amplifier-chat |
| amplifier-voice | Voice plugin for amplifierd - WebRTC voice interface using the OpenAI Realtime API, standalone or as a plugin | amplifier-voice |
Note: When you install amplifier, you get the amplifier-app-cli as the executable application. amplifierd is a separate daemon that exposes Amplifier capabilities over HTTP, and amplifier-chat and amplifier-voice are plugins that extend it with web-based chat and voice interfaces.
Documentation & Learning
These are the canonical documentation and learning sites for the Amplifier ecosystem. They reflect the framework but do not run it.
| Component | Description | Repository |
|---|---|---|
| amplifier-app-learn | Interactive learning curriculum for Amplifier — six narrative levels, hands-on approach guides, validated architecture diagrams, and a chat assistant with live DOT rendering. React 19 + Vite SPA. | amplifier-app-learn |
Libraries
Foundational libraries used by applications (not used directly by runtime modules).
| Component | Description | Repository |
|---|---|---|
| amplifier-foundation | Foundational library for bundles, module resolution, and shared utilities | amplifier-foundation |
Architectural Boundary: Libraries are consumed by applications (like amplifier-app-cli). Runtime modules only depend on amplifier-core and never use these libraries directly.

Building Your Own Modules
Amplifier can help you build Amplifier modules! See DEVELOPER.md for how to use AI to create custom modules with minimal manual coding.
The modular architecture makes it easy to:
- Extend capabilities with new tools
- Add support for new AI providers
- Create domain-specific agents
- Build custom interfaces (web, mobile, voice)
- Experiment with new orchestration strategies
Module Architecture
All modules follow the same pattern:
- Entry point: Implement
mount(coordinator, config)function - Registration: Register capabilities with the coordinator
- Isolation: Handle errors gracefully, never crash the kernel
- Contracts: Follow one of the stable interfaces (Tool, Provider, Hook, etc.)
For technical details, see:
- amplifier-core - Kernel interfaces and protocols
