About TreeWork
TreeWork is an open-source Codex plugin designed to provide coding agents with a durable map for navigating complex software projects. Built to solve the common challenges of long-running coding agents, TreeWork aligns requirements before writing code and organizes work into a structured branch tree complete with explicit dependencies.
Instead of relying on fragile context windows or scattered memories that degrade after interruptions, context compression, or handoffs, TreeWork maintains critical metadata—including Spec, Plan, Progress, Findings, Verification, and lifecycle states—directly on each branch. This allows agents to seamlessly recover accepted project states rather than attempting to reconstruct them from code alone.
The tool includes a robust suite of components such as a Command Line Interface (CLI), Git worktrees integration, a Project Map, and a Web Paper interface, making it an essential open-source developer tool for managing AI-driven, multi-step development workflows.
Pros of TreeWork
- Provides a durable project map for long-running coding agents
- Organizes work into a branch tree with explicit task dependencies
- Maintains clear metadata (Spec, Plan, Progress, Findings, Verification, lifecycle state) on each branch
- Enables seamless state recovery after context compression, interruptions, or handoffs
- Includes a CLI, Git worktrees support, Project Map, and Web Paper
Cons of TreeWork
- Currently functions as a Codex plugin, which may limit use outside of specific supported environments
- Requires adaptation to a tree-guided development workflow
Frequently Asked Questions
What is TreeWork?
TreeWork is an open-source Codex plugin that gives coding agents a durable map of complex projects. It organizes work as a branch tree with dependencies and tracks essential branch states like Specs, Plans, Progress, Findings, and Verification.
How does TreeWork handle context loss and interruptions?
After context compression, interruptions, or handoffs, TreeWork enables agents to recover accepted project states directly from the tracked branch metadata rather than reconstructing context from raw code and scattered memories.
What components are included with TreeWork?
TreeWork includes a CLI, Git worktrees, a Project Map, and a Web Paper.
About AI Eyes
AI Eyes is a permission-first co-presence prototype designed for AI companions. Created by developer Deen Storkey, this open-source tool establishes a privacy-focused, local-first foundation for managing what your digital companions can see and hear.
With its initial v0.1 release, AI Eyes allows users to choose a specific screen or window to capture and gives granular, separate controls for screen, system audio, and microphone inputs. The interface makes it easy to invite named companions and ensures transparency by always displaying when sensing is active. Users can pause or end sessions at any time; ending a session immediately stops all media tracks and resets the session completely.
Built using Codex and GPT-5.6, this prototype is focused entirely on local-first permission, presence, and session-control. Please note that in this foundational stage, no external AI provider or semantic understanding has been connected yet.
Pros of AI Eyes
- Privacy-focused, local-first permission architecture
- Separate, granular control over screen, system audio, and microphone capture
- Clear visual indicators showing when active sensing is occurring
- Open-source code base allowing developers to review and build upon the prototype
Cons of AI Eyes
- It is a prototype (v0.1) and does not yet have an active AI provider or semantic understanding connected
- Limited to foundational capture and session-control features at this stage
Frequently Asked Questions
What is AI Eyes?
AI Eyes is an open-source, permission-first co-presence prototype built to manage what AI companions can access. It provides local-first controls over screen sharing, audio, and session state.
Does AI Eyes currently analyze my screen or voice?
No. In the v0.1 release, no AI provider or semantic understanding is connected. The prototype is currently a local-first foundation focused on permission, capture, presence, and session-control.
How do I control my privacy while using AI Eyes?
AI Eyes lets you choose exactly which screen or window to capture and gives you separate toggle controls for your screen, system audio, and microphone. There is also a clear indicator to show when sensing is active, and you can pause or end the session to stop all media tracks instantly.
What technologies were used to build AI Eyes?
The AI Eyes prototype was built using Codex and GPT-5.6.
