Privacy and trust

aic is centered on local project files and local tool configuration. The TUI is designed to operate entirely on your machine. Before making stronger privacy claims, this page lists the exact files and network requests you should expect.

Files aic reads and writes

Project files

• <project>/.aic/.aicrc — project configuration
• <project>/.aic/.aic-env — project-scoped env vars

User files

• ~/.aic/config.toml — user configuration
• ~/.aic/aic-env — user-scoped env vars
• ~/.aic/cache — local Registry cache

Tool link paths

• <project>/.claude/skills/<name>
• <project>/.codex/skills/<name>
• <project>/.gemini/skills/<name>
• <project>/.opencode/skills/<name>
• <project>/.agents/skills/<name> (shared)

Network requests

aic currently only makes network requests to fetch Registry content (skills, MCP, Context templates) from the public Registry configured by the user. The TUI's day-to-day operations run entirely on local files.

This page intentionally does not claim "no telemetry" until every outbound request is audited in source.
