Local Model Agent Configurator

Make local Ollama/Quen models work seamlessly with Claude Code-style tools

Problem
Many developers want to use local models for cost or privacy reasons, but configuration is painful. The author of a post admits they haven't had success making Claude Code work with local Ollama/Quen, and the creator of Forcefield says the same, spending three months rewriting an agent harness in Go just to solve it.
Solution
A local setup wizard plus lightweight proxy that auto-detects local models, generates correct API-compatible configs, handles context window and tool-calling differences, and provides a minimal CLI to run Claude Code-style workflows on local models.
Users
Indie developers and small teams who want lower AI coding costs or code privacy.
MVP
Scan local Ollama/LM Studio models; auto-generate compatible config; proxy and adapt tool-call formats; one-click switch local/cloud; config diagnostics and fallback.
Revenue
Open-source core plus paid Pro (multi-model orchestration, shared team configs, enterprise privacy policy templates).
Why now
Local model quality is rising but setup remains broken; sensitivity to cost and privacy is growing; a thin adapter layer is a good fit for indie developers.
