Show HN: MaskShift – a maximalist coding agent with zero NPM dependencies

https://github.com/nafeeur/MaskShift
1•Nafeeur•58m ago
MaskShift is a local-first coding agent harness. Features:

- Works with models that have no tool-calling API. Tool schemas are rendered into the system prompt and the model calls them by writing a block in its reply, parsed back into a normal tool call.

- No npm runtime dependencies. Daemon are Node 22 built-ins only. Install is a file copy and a symlink.

- Multi-provider: Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, LM Studio, vLLM.

- 148 native tools: filesystem, shell, search/indexing, Git and Workspace, LSP, browser/CDP, containers, SSH, databases, web fetch.

- Lazy MCP loading. Catalog is searched, the relevant server connects on demand, only those tools enter the context window.

- 36 bundled skills, plus skills imported from Claude, Codex, and Copilot directories.

- Bridges to Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Copilot CLI, and Aider when they're on PATH.

- Scheduled automations, plugins, persistent memory, parallel agents in isolated worktrees.

- Web cockpit with live run telemetry, plan pane, tool traces, source browser, and a host terminal.

Permissive by default. No per-command approval. Recovery is pre-run checkpoints, Git stash refs, and an append-only audit log. Keep it on loopback or in the container.
