## What it is
Lime is an open-source, Electron-based desktop AI agent that combines an agent loop with filesystem access, terminal commands, code editing, tool calls, MCP, Skills, multimodal I/O, and multi-agent collaboration in one workspace. It targets coding, research, content creation, and automation workflows with a visual, traceable task chain and configurable model providers.

## Use cases
- ai agent that edits files and runs terminal commands
- desktop app for multi-step coding tasks with an agent
- research assistant that organizes sources and drafts reports
- content creation workspace with AI skills
- orchestrate multiple AI agents on one workflow
- connect MCP tools to a local AI agent
- automate repetitive writing and scripting tasks
- local-first AI workspace for knowledge work

## When to choose
- you want a GUI desktop agent rather than a CLI-only coding agent
- your work mixes coding, research, and content deliverables in one project
- you need configurable providers/models and MCP/Skills extensibility
- you want task state that can be paused, reviewed, and resumed

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight CLI agent embedded in your terminal or CI
- you require a permissively licensed dependency (GPLv3, no explicit license file)
- you need Linux or mobile support
- you want a fully server-side/managed deployment rather than a desktop app
