Pragma Gives Your AI Agents a Roster, a Computer, and a Veto Point
Pragma is a local-first desktop app that turns separate AI agents into a named roster, each with its own thread, model, computer, and approval requests.
Field notes
Pragma organizes agents as a roster rather than a single conversation, with named roles such as Operations, Research, Engineering, Inbox, and Drafting. Its local harness stores runs under ~/.pragma, including JSON threads, encrypted keys, and an event log, while routing commands and file changes through explicit approval cards. The page says users can bring existing Claude, Codex, Qwen, and Grok CLI access or run local models, and describes both local-machine and throwaway-VM execution.
