foolscap

open source · local-first · MIT

Delegate to your coding agents, and prove what came back.

Tell foolscap what needs doing. It plans the work, runs Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode on your machine, then reads the test output and the diffs itself. A result is evidence — not the agent's word for it.

foolscap — Delegate to your coding agents, and prove what came back | Product Hunt
The foolscap Work view showing a completed run: search, dispatch to Claude Code, failing tests, a repair, then a read-only review by Codex, ending in workflow complete.
A real run: the first attempt failed its tests, one repair fixed it, and a second agent reviewed the diff. Six turns, eight cents.

how it works

It doesn't take the agent's word for it.

Say what you want. foolscap writes the brief, picks an agent, and watches what actually happens — the commands it ran, what they printed, which files changed. That evidence, not the agent's summary, decides what happens next.

you say

“Make the two failing replay cases pass, then have a second agent review it.”

implement

Claude Code gets a brief naming the real files. It edits, then runs the suite.

tests red

foolscap reads the failure and dispatches a repair with that output attached.

tests green

A different agent reviews the diff, read-only, and returns a verdict.

done

The card moves only when the evidence says so. Every step is on the receipt.

One queue, not five tabs

Run several agents at once. foolscap drives them, so it knows which one is blocked on you, whose tests just went red, and which to leave alone. Press n for the next thing that needs you.

Your history, readable

Every session any agent has run on this machine, rendered as a document you can read top to bottom, search, and export as one HTML file.

The prompts that worked

Every prompt you've ever sent, deduplicated, with which ones actually worked — read from what happened next. No model call, no guessing.

Spend you can see

Every run is metered against its own budget. Agents that don't report cost are marked unknown rather than counted as zero.

supported agents

Harness-agnostic by design.

Each one is a single adapter. If your agent writes a log, foolscap can be its notebook — and adding one is the best first contribution.

“Unverified” means the launch path is written from the vendor's docs and has never been run against a real install. We'd rather say so than show a tick.

install

One command. Nothing to sign up for.

Reading your agent history needs no configuration and no key at all. The coordinator and voice are bring-your-own-key.
