Fuck you, AI do what I tell you 

↳ a self-hosted dashboard, daemon & DSL for operators who'd rather hold the reins than be steered around them by hidden system prompts. // repeated sixteen times until they hear you
// 01 The Problem

Every "agentic" tool ships a leash for you.

Hidden system prompts that take the wheel out of your hands. Frameworks that strip the ask-the-user tool from the model so it can't request a debug checkpoint — it just plows ahead and breaks shit.

oh-my-opencode injects extra agentic loops in every scenario. The model can't ask you for input mid-task. It loops until it gets stuck, then loops some more.

Other dashboards promise "manage all your projects" and ship six coloured tiles and a Disk Usage gauge. The marketing video has more features than the build.

  • opaque system prompts you can't read or override
  • forced loops instead of asking the operator
  • no real sandbox — it ran rm -rf on your dotfiles, sorry mate
  • cloud-only and signed up to seven analytics vendors
  • "AI-first" meaning user-last
// 02 The Fix

Agent on a leash. Not a leash on you.

kaged is the operator's daemon: a project-scoped primary agent that dispatches sandboxed subagents through a DSL you wrote. Cross-domain calls are explicit. Debug checkpoints are first-class. The model asks you — not the other way around.

  • You own the system prompts. Read them. Edit them. Diff them.
  • Caged subagents by default — scoped FS, no host network, allowlists per project.
  • Project DSL declares primary→subagent flow and cross-project interconnects.
  • Real debug checkpoints. The model can hit pause and ask the operator. No hidden loops.
  • Mobile-first web UI — your pi, your phone, your sprawl.
  • Self-hosted, no telemetry, no signups, no corporate.
