vibekit - open-source sandbox and safety layer for coding agents
About VibeKit
MIT-licensed CLI wrapper and SDK from Superagent (YC) that runs Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Grok CLI, and OpenCode inside an isolated sandbox, redacting secrets from completions and logging every file change, shell command, and outbound call. Install with npm and prefix your usual command: `vibekit claude`. The local path uses Docker and needs no cloud account; the `@vibe-kit/sdk` package embeds the same sandboxing in your own app across E2B, Dagger, Daytona, Northflank, Cloudflare, Modal, and Fly.io. Development has been quiet since November 2025: no commits to the default branch since 2025-11-10, no npm publish since 2025-10-14, and Superagent's recent work has shifted to its grok-cli and gateway projects. The code is MIT and still installs, so treat it as forkable rather than actively supported. Naming history: in July 2025 the team shipped an open-source v0 clone called vibe0, built on VibeKit. That name has been retired and the project is now just VibeKit, with the template surviving in the repo as templates/v0-clone. Unrelated to Vibe Scan at vibe0.com.au, which is a security scanner from a Perth consultancy that happens to share the name.

Vibe Kanban
Open-source kanban board for orchestrating AI coding agents. Plan tasks as issues, run Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI in isolated git worktrees, review diffs inline, and open pull requests from one local UI. The company behind it (bloop) shut down in April 2026, but the project lives on as community-maintained open source and local workspaces keep working.
Hermes Agent
Self-hosted autonomous agent from Nous Research with a built-in learning loop. Creates skills from experience, persists memory across sessions, and runs 24/7 on your own hardware with sandboxed terminals and messaging-app gateways.
Parallel Code
Free, open-source desktop app that dispatches AI coding agents in parallel, each in its own git worktree. It runs the real CLI agents you already trust (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) side by side, then lets you review the diffs, merge the wins, and toss the rest.
Aider
Top-tier command line AI tool. Lets you pair program with LLMs (Claude 3.5, GPT-4o) directly in your git repo. Edits multiple files effectively.
