FrankenTerm: open-source swarm-native terminal platform for AI coding agents
doodlestein · x · 2026-11-11
Jeffrey Emanuel says FrankenTerm will remain fully open source and is his daily driver for remote work. It's a swarm-native terminal platform for AI coding agents: real-time pane capture, change-point pattern detection, transactional policy-gated automation, a JSON/MCP robot API, and a fail-closed operating envelope — on its own vendored terminal engine, with a native iOS client that attaches to your Macs. He rewrote the Mac renderer on Metal for much faster performance. 128 stars, 18.6k commits, written in Rust.
