Crispy

A power-user's workbench for multiple Claude Code and Codex instances at a time — run it in VS Code, in your browser, or from Discord on your phone.

Crispy — reading project docs, explaining the codebase, and making an edit in one conversation

Discord bot — live session monitor with inline approval buttons, session browser, and forum-based workspace channels. Approve tool use from your phone.
Agent memory — every transcript indexed locally with full-text search (instant) and semantic search (local model downloaded on first use). Backfills from your existing transcripts across vendors.
/superthink — pit Claude and Codex against each other on the same question. Catches bugs and blind spots a single model misses.
Fork or rewind from any message — opens side-by-side with full context
Tool audit panel — every tool call and sub-agent's work in a collapsible panel with timing and status badges
Agency modes — plan, auto-accept, --dangerously-skip-permissions — one click, persisted per session

What's New in v0.2.8

Skill autocomplete — type / (Claude) or $ (Codex) in the chat input to browse and search skills, filtered per vendor
Single-dollar LaTeX — inline math with $...$ now renders correctly alongside display math $$...$$
PWA support — standalone mode is now installable as a desktop app from the browser
Windows path normalization — fixes path mismatches on native Windows with \\?\ prefixes, mixed separators, and drive letter casing

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.

Crispy Discord bot — live session monitor with tool calls, approvals, and forum-based session management

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

Multi-agent coordination

/superthink — pit Claude and Codex against each other on the same question. Catches bugs and blind spots a single model misses
/super-implement — turn plans into self-contained execution prompts, auto-decomposed if too large
/reflect — verify prompts and plans against the codebase before execution
/handoff — distill context and rotate into a fresh session when context gets long
/spec-mode — interactive spec-building through conversation
