An AI agent for coding that respects your keys and budget

Use a coding AI agent that runs in your terminal, keeps keys in a vault, and stops before it blows the budget on a runaway loop.

Coding agents burn tokens fast

A coding agent makes many model calls — read the file, write a patch, run the test, fix the test. Without a budget, one tricky task can run up a bill. With one, it stops at a number you set.

Work from your terminal

$ remoteagent chat "why is this build failing?"
$ remoteagent exec
$ remoteagent audit

Keys never reach the repo

Provider keys sit in the vault, so there is nothing to accidentally commit. The agent calls the model through a proxy and only ever holds a revocable device token.

The sandbox keeps the repo safe

Commands are argv-based and allowlisted, and deletes go to the trash. A web page cannot talk the agent into running rm -rf on your project.

A sensible setup for coding

  1. Give the agent a per-run token budget.
  2. Allowlist the commands your toolchain needs.
  3. Keep the workspace scoped to the repo.
  4. Rate answers so the good runs are exportable for fine-tuning.
