Selected open source
Tools I build and use.
Recently open-sourced and actively used across my own projects.
Junior Agent
AI coding task delegation
A CLI for scoped coding tasks using explicit acceptance criteria, isolated Git worktrees, independent checks, and bounded repair attempts. Reviewable handoffs report changes, check results, model usage, and unresolved work for manager review.
Integrates Praxec MCP/CLI tooling for critical-path planning, House of Quality analysis, and failure-mode assessment.
Junior Agent ↗Jevitate
Autonomous browser testing
A TypeScript CLI and MCP server for browser exploration, reproducible defect capture, regression testing, and replay-based fix verification. Separates model-directed exploration from deterministic browser checks, with CI reporting, authorized-origin controls, and execution limits.
Jevitate ↗opv / 1password-vault
Secrets delivery and DevOps tooling
An open-source Rust CLI connecting 1Password-managed secrets to application runtimes and CI. Supports Fly.io, Azure Key Vault and Container Apps, Kubernetes, External Secrets Operator, and GitHub Actions.
Typed validation, explicit plan-and-sync workflows, deployment and pruning controls, and structured JSON reporting support automation and AI coding assistants. Uses redacting and zeroizing types and passes values through stdin or child-process environments.
