- macOS developers who want approval before agent edits
- Worth noticing
- Write tools are refused at execution while a plan is held; steps involving deletion, deployment, pushing, or dropping are marked for review.
Field notes
Users can revise the numbered plan, remove unwanted steps, and mark checkpoints; the page says write tools are blocked at execution while approval is pending. Its tool list spans files, shell, git, web fetch, CSV-to-SQLite, image reading, databases, SSH, and document export. A showcased run is described as five steps with acceptance criteria, using a 27B model locally; the site also lists Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and Ollama support.
