Introduction

Trellis Studio is the canonical workspace for the trellis graph — code, agents, decisions, history, and live queries on one screen.

Trellis Studio

Trellis Studio is the canonical workspace for the trellis graph. Your files, history, agents, decisions, and live queries — all on one screen, all backed by the same causal substrate.

One command, the whole substrate

Most tools split your context across a half-dozen surfaces: your editor, your terminal, your VCS, your issue tracker, your agent chat, your wiki. Trellis Studio collapses them.

The Studio is a single workspace where everything runs against the same graph. The code you edit is the same data the agents read. The decisions agents make are the same records your team reviews. The history is queryable, not buried in commit messages.

One command. No signup. No cloud.

What's inside

Graph-native editor

Files, entities, and relationships side-by-side. Wiki-links and references resolve across code, decisions, and issues.

Embedded agents

Run agents inside the workspace. Every tool call is captured as a durable op, not a chat log. Agents read and write the same graph you do.

Live graph view

Visualize the causal stream as it grows. Filter by entity type, time range, or branch. Click an op to see the change it produced.

Decision traces

Capture the why behind every change — human or agent. Search precedent across past runs. Decisions are first-class records, not buried in commit messages or Slack.

Issues and milestones

Trellis-native task tracking. Issues, criteria, and branches live in the same graph as the code they ship with. Milestones replace commits as the unit of narrative.

Idea Garden

Abandoned branches and exploration become searchable, revivable clusters instead of lost work.

For agents, for humans, for both

Agents need durable memory and a causal record of their own actions. Humans need the same record, presented as a workspace they can read, edit, and steer.

Trellis Studio is the same surface for both. An agent's edit and your edit produce the same kind of op. An agent's decision and your decision sit in the same trace. The Studio is the place where that becomes obvious.

How it relates to Trellis

Trellis is the engine — the local-first, AI-native causal graph that stores entities, ops, decisions, and references. Trellis Studio is the engine's canonical surface: the workspace where you can see and steer everything the engine holds.

The engine works without the Studio. The CLI, the SDKs, and the server can all be used directly. But the Studio is where Trellis becomes tangible — and where the parts that usually live in five tools come together.
