FAQ from DockaShell

What problems does DockaShell solve?

It addresses no persistent memory, tool babysitting, limited toolsets, and lack of self-reflection in current AI assistants.

Each agent runs in an isolated Docker container, giving full autonomy inside with zero risk to the host system.

What are the requirements?

Node.js 20+ and a running Docker engine.

Can agents persist data across sessions?

Yes, each container uses a persistent volume so files, databases, and context survive between sessions.
