Permission memory layer for coding agents
Make coding agents remember your approvals so you stop clicking Yes all day
- Problem
- Users complain they have to babysit their terminal because the agent asks permission for every tool call; worse, telling it “always allow” doesn’t stick across harnesses, so they answer Yes a quadrigazillion times a day. It’s a high-frequency, interrupt-heavy friction that nearly everyone hits.
- Solution
- A local permission-policy proxy that sits between the agent and the terminal: it records each approval, turns it into reusable rules keyed by tool plus arguments, and auto-approves matching calls while still prompting for sensitive ones. Includes a visual rule panel with whitelists, path scopes, command prefixes, and one-click revoke.
- Users
- Heavy users of Claude Code, Codex, Pi and similar terminal coding agents
- MVP
- Intercept and log tool calls plus user decisions; generate editable rules from tool+arg prefixes; auto-approve on match with a log; TUI/menu to view, search, revoke rules; import/export rule files
- Revenue
- Open-source core plus paid Pro (team rule sync, audit log, cloud backup) or a one-time $19–39 license
- Why now
- Terminal agents are exploding while permission memory stays primitive—a constantly complained-about gap, fully local with no compliance burden
