# Build bounded single-binary agent workflows with Yao

Use Yao when an operator needs to package an AI agent workflow, hooks, MCP tools, memory scopes, and a reviewable web or chat interface into one deployable runtime.

## Prerequisites

Yao single-binary runtime, a Yao project definition, TypeScript hooks, optional MCP tools, optional CLI agent executor, and a model provider configured according to the upstream docs.

## Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- **TypeScript** — Built-in V8 engine; no Node.js required
- **Single Binary** — Runs on ARM64/x64; no Python, Node, or containers needed on the host

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- **CLI Agent / Sandbox** — Run Claude Code (or other CLI runners) in an isolated container with VNC desktop support
