PRISM

AI-Native Autonomous Materials Discovery Platform

by MARC27

---

PRISM is a single binary that gives you an AI agent for materials science. It searches knowledge graphs, runs compute jobs, orchestrates workflows, and connects to a federated mesh of research nodes.

prism                    # Launch interactive TUI
prism query --platform "nickel superalloys"
prism research "high-entropy alloys" --depth 1
prism billing            # Check credit balance

Install

curl -fsSL https://prism.marc27.com/install.sh | bash

Or download from GitHub Releases:

Platform	Archive
Linux x86_64	prism-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
macOS Apple Silicon	prism-macos-aarch64.tar.gz
Windows x86_64	prism-windows-x86_64.zip

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/Darth-Hidious/PRISM.git
cd PRISM && cargo build --release

Interactive TUI

Run prism to launch the terminal UI with:

• Workspace tabs (Chat, Explorer, Models, Compute, Mesh, Workflows, Marketplace, Data, Settings)
• Command palette (type / to search 69+ commands)
• Model picker with 535 hosted models across 4 providers
• Sidebar browser per workspace (file tree, model catalog, mesh peers, GPU resources)
• Inline tool cards showing execution results
• Streaming AI responses with markdown rendering

CLI Commands

Architecture

prism (single Rust binary)
  prism-cli      Command routing, auth, TUI
  prism-llm      LLM client (OpenAI + MARC27 proxy)
  prism-agent    TAOR agent loop, tool calling, OPA policy
  prism-node     Daemon, probe, E2EE key exchange
  prism-ingest   Schema detection, ontology extraction
  prism-server   Axum REST API + dashboard
  prism-mesh     mDNS + Kafka pub/sub + federation
  prism-compute  Docker / MARC27 / SSH / K8s / SLURM
  prism-policy   OPA/Rego policy engine
  prism-workflows YAML workflow engine (8 step types)

Python tools (108 tools via JSON stdio)
  Search: OPTIMADE (20+ providers), arXiv, Semantic Scholar
  Predict: property prediction, structure prediction
  Simulate: CALPHAD, DFT planning
  Execute: Python, Bash (sandboxed)
  Platform: knowledge graph, compute, marketplace
  Custom: drop .py in ~/.prism/tools/

Configuration

All config in ~/.prism/prism.toml:

[llm]
provider = "marc27"
url = "https://api.marc27.com/api/v1/projects/{id}/llm"
model = "gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview"

[node]
name = "lab-alpha"
port = 7327

[mesh]
discovery = ["mdns", "platform"]

Security

• OPA/Rego policy engine — every tool call checked
• E2EE — X25519 + ChaCha20-Poly1305 for node-to-node data
• RBAC — 4-tier roles (admin, operator, agent, viewer)
• Audit logging — every action logged

Contributing

• TUI — built with Ratatui, protocol documented in docs/FRONTEND_PROTOCOL.md
• Tools — new Python tools in app/tools/, custom tools in ~/.prism/tools/
• Workflows — YAML in ~/.prism/workflows/, auto-discovered as CLI commands
