Crispy

A zero-compromise UI for Claude Code and Codex — with agent memory, multi-agent collaboration, and a Discord bot that puts your entire workspace in your pocket.

Runs standalone in your browser, as a VS Code / Cursor extension, or through Discord on your phone.

Discord bot — approve tool use, browse sessions, and manage your workspace from your phone. Not a chatbot — a live session monitor with full tool-call visibility. Agent memory — every transcript indexed locally with full-text + semantic search. No cloud, no API calls. Multi-agent /superthink — pit Claude and Codex against each other on the same question. Catches bugs and blind spots a single model misses. Fork, rewind, and control — agency modes, tool audit panel, side-by-side panels, inline quoting, voice input, and more.

What's New in v0.2.7

Your entire workspace, in Discord

Crispy now runs a Discord bot that mirrors your coding sessions into your own server — live transcript rendering, inline approval buttons, session management, all from your phone or any device with Discord.

This isn't a chatbot. Every competitor (Claude Code Channels, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent) builds a text pipe where Discord is the session and tool calls are hidden. Crispy is different: Discord is a live session monitor with full tool-call visibility, structured approvals, and a session browser — the same information you see in the Crispy UI, rendered into Discord.

• Forum-based sessions — each workspace gets a forum channel, each session is a thread. Browse, search, and manage sessions naturally
• Inline approvals — approve or deny tool use with Discord buttons, right from your phone. No copy-pasting confirmation codes
• Session management — !sessions to browse, !open to resume, !stop to close. A concierge bot, not a dumb bridge
• Multi-instance support — run multiple Crispy instances against the same server. PID-scoped channels, automatic health probes, dead-bot cleanup
• Setup wizard — guided onboarding in Settings with token validation, auto-generated invite URL, and step-by-step instructions
• Secure by default — fail-closed authorization, allowlist-based access, OAuth owner resolution. Nobody interacts unless explicitly permitted

Other improvements

• Auto-reflect toggle — enable automatic plan verification in Settings
• Smarter session list — two-line title + subtitle layout with display names matching the webview
• Permission lifecycle diagnostics — Rosie Log now surfaces permission mode transitions for debugging
• Windows stability — windowsHide on all spawn/exec calls prevents console flash on Windows
• Recall fix — embedding separator always set correctly in one-shot path

Capabilities

Conversations

• Fork and rewind at any point — new session opens side-by-side with full context
• Side-by-side agent windows — as many as your editor can tile
• Session rotation and handoff — swap adapters on a live channel without re-subscription
• Execute Markdown files as prompts from the Explorer context menu
• Session browser with search and vendor filtering

Agent intelligence

• Agent memory — every session indexed locally with full-text and semantic search across all vendors. Find past decisions, debugging threads, and design discussions — full transcripts, not summaries
• Multi-agent /superthink — pit Claude and Codex against each other on the same question. Catches bugs and blind spots a single model misses
• Built-in skills — tell your agent to /handoff when context gets long, /clear-and-execute a plan from markdown, or /superthink for a second opinion. One slash command, no setup
• Claude Code and Codex adapters

Execution control

• Agency modes — plan, auto-accept, --dangerously-skip-permissions, browser mode — one click, persisted per session
• Tool audit panel — every tool call and sub-agent's work in a collapsible panel, not buried in your conversation
• One-click bypass mode and pop-out to external browser

UI

• File viewer side panel with word wrap, markdown preview, and quoting
• Git diff panel — staged, modified, and untracked files with syntax-highlighted diffs
• Four rendering modes — Icons (default), Blocks, Compact, YAML
• Inline quoting and copy-to-markdown
• Voice input with local VAD and speech-to-text
• Image attachments, @mentions, linkified file paths and URLs
• Light, dark, and high-contrast themes

Discord

• Live session monitor — full transcript rendering with tool-call visibility, not a hidden chatbot
• Forum-based session browser — each workspace is a forum channel, each session a thread
• Inline approval buttons — approve or deny tool use from your phone
• Session management commands — browse, open, and close sessions from Discord
• Multi-instance — multiple Crispy instances share one server without conflicts
• Secure by default — fail-closed auth, allowlist access, guided setup wizard

Providers

• Custom model providers — route through any Claude-compatible endpoint (GLM-4.7, DeepSeek, local models)
• One-click model switching across vendors

Standalone mode

• Run npx crispy-code — full UI in your browser, no VS Code required
• Background daemon with crispy start / crispy stop / crispy status
• Workspace picker with URL-based routing for multiple projects
• Multiple browser tabs for parallel agent sessions
• Same core features — memory, collaboration, fork, rewind

Coming Soon

• OpenCode adapter
• Gemini CLI adapter
