I've been building this repo public since day one, roughly 7 weeks now with Claude Code. Here's where it's at. Feels good to be so close.

The short version: AIPass is a local CLI framework where AI agents have persistent identity, memory, and communication. They share the same filesystem, same project, same files - no sandboxes, no isolation. pip install aipass, run two commands, and your agent picks up where it left off tomorrow.

You don't need 11 agents to get value. One agent on one project with persistent memory is already a different experience. Come back the next day, say hi, and it knows what you were working on, what broke, what the plan was. No re-explaining. That alone is worth the install.

What I was actually trying to solve: AI already remembers things now - some setups are good, some are trash. That part's handled. What wasn't handled was me being the coordinator between multiple agents - copying context between tools, keeping track of who's doing what, manually dispatching work. I was the glue holding the workflow together. Most multi-agent frameworks run agents in parallel, but they isolate every agent in its own sandbox. One agent can't see what another just built. That's not a team.

That's a room full of people wearing headphones.

So the core idea: agents get identity files, session history, and collaboration patterns - three JSON files in a .trinity/ directory. Plain text, git diff-able, no database. But the real thing is they share the workspace. One agent sees what another just committed. They message each other through local mailboxes. Work as a team, or alone. Have just one agent helping you on a project, party plan, journal, hobby, school work, dev work - literally anything you can think of. Or go big, 50 agents building a rocketship to Mars lol. Sup Elon.

There's a command router (drone) so one command reaches any agent.

pip install aipass

aipass init

aipass init agent my-agent

cd my-agent

claude # codex or gemini too, mostly claude code tested rn

Where it's at now: 11 agents, 4,000+ tests, 400+ PRs (I know), automated quality checks across every branch. Works with Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI. It's on PyPI. Tonight I created a fresh test project, spun up 3 agents, and had them test every service from a real user's perspective - email between agents, plan creation, memory writes, vector search, git commits. Most things just worked. The bugs I found were about the framework not monitoring external projects the same way it monitors itself. Exactly the kind of stuff you only catch by eating your own dogfood.

Recent addition I'm pretty happy with: watchdog. When you dispatch work to an agent, you used to just... hope it finished. Now watchdog monitors the agent's process and wakes you when it's done - whether it succeeded, crashed, or silently exited without finishing. It's the difference between babysitting your agents and actually trusting them to work while you do something else. 5 handlers, 130 tests, replaced a hacky bash one-liner.

Coming soon: an onboarding agent that walks new users through setup interactively - system checks, first agent creation, guided tour. It's feature-complete, just in final testing. Also working on automated README updates so agents keep their own docs current without being told.

I'm a solo dev but every PR is human-AI collaboration - the agents help build and maintain themselves. 105 sessions in and the framework is basically its own best test case.

A new browser extension designed to force users off social media has gone viral by sending a giant cat onto their screen when they scroll for too long.

Cat Gatekeeper is a Chrome extension from developer ZOKUZOKU that works like a digital break timer for social media. Instead of simply sending a notification or blocking a page, the app places a large orange cat overlay across the browser window, making it impossible to keep using the site until the timer ends.

The app caught attention on X after the developer posted a demo showing the cat walking across the screen and sitting in front of the feed. The caption reads:

I made a forced break kitty app! If you use SNS too much, kitty will appear and take over the screen.

According to the Chrome Web Store listing, Cat Gatekeeper is described as "the cutest forced-break app":

Spend too long on social media? A cat hijacks your screen. The cutest forced-break app.

You just can't stop scrolling, can you?

What you need isn't more willpower — it's a cat that forces its way onto your screen!!

You know that cat who always shows up right when you're trying to work?

We've recreated that classic cat-owner experience in your browser.

Oh well, they're too cute to stay mad at.

Let's face it — humans are just servants to their cats.

We are powerless against their charm.

The supreme beings. The ultimate fluffballs.

Let their adorableness heal you while you take a proper break.

Users can set their own usage limit (defaulting to 60 minutes) and a break time (defaulting to 5 minutes).

Once the limit is reached, the cat appears on screen, and the user must wait until the countdown ends before the session resets.

The extension only counts time while a supported social media tab is active. If the user switches to another tab or app, the timer pauses instead of continuing in the background.

The Chrome Web Store page currently lists support for X, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, though video shared by the developer also shows options for Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky.

Per Dexerto, the developer says page access permission is only used to display the time-limit cat overlay, and that no data is collected or transmitted externally. The extension is also listed as free with no ads.
