personal AI runtime, local-first. MCP bridge giving Claude Code 170+ tools (LSP, debugger, terminal, git) inside VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or JetBrains. Optional Patchwork layer adds YAML recipes, an approval queue, and an oversight dashboard. Your models, your machine, your policy.

Patchwork OS is a local-first personal AI runtime with pluggable model providers, hot-reloadable tools, YAML recipes, a delegation policy with approval queue, and durable trace memory. It runs entirely on your machine under your control, with no telemetry. The same codebase ships two modes: a Claude IDE Bridge for editor integration, and the full Patchwork OS with automation, oversight, and multi-model support.
