status checked september 8, 2026. release links point to downloadable builds; development notes describe work that may not be in those installers.
agent workspaces
- ködade cli shipped · v0.2.1 · macOS + Linux
a terminal workspace for the agent CLIs you already use. keep projects in workspaces, split tabs into panes, detach and return to running sessions, and see which agents need attention. v0.2.1 includes stable scrollback and a charcoal theme; unified machine workspaces and extensions are newer development work.
rust terminal agents - ködade desktop shipped · v2.0.2 · Apple Silicon macOS
my open-source agentic development environment. v2.0.2 puts Agents, Code, and Editor tabs around real terminals, reusable personas, KödChat, files, GitHub, local memory, and harness management. the dedicated Task tab is newer source work. no required account or model markup.
tauri rust typescript
OpenContractorOS
local business tools for contractors. CRM is released; Project and Books are in development; Estimate is planned. each module has its own release boundary.
- ContractorCRM shipped · v0.1.0 · newer work on main
local contacts, opportunities, and follow-ups. v0.1.0 has public Mac and Windows installers. newer source work adds a Today queue, quick lead capture, searchable record links, and personal-agent setup with read-only defaults. those improvements are awaiting a new packaged release.
tauri rust sqlite - ContractorProject development · repo private
job scheduling with a persisted work breakdown, typed dependencies, working calendars, baselines, and a Gantt chart computed in Rust. the September workspace puts the schedule and selected task first, with CSV and printable exports. private development; no public installer yet.
tauri rust scheduling - ContractorBooks development · repo private
a working double-entry bookkeeping core with invoices, vendor bills, job costs, retainage, bank reconciliation, reports, and an MCP helper. AI proposals go through review and explicit apply. release packaging is in progress; no public download yet.
tauri rust bookkeeping - ContractorEstimate planning · repo private
the planned estimating and quoting module: measure, price, propose, and pass the work into jobs and books. product planning exists; this is not a working release.
estimating planning
the takeoff suite
the free contractor-bid engine, plan markup, and the Contractor Takeoff pilot app. the earlier estimating work, with its own build stories.
- Contractor Takeoff pilot build · repo private
shared bid command center for subcontractor teams, built on the free contractor-bid engine. document triage runs inside the app, and every finding carries its evidence: source pdf, page, sheet number, quoted text. review states survive addendum re-runs, so the team only re-checks what changed. the July pilot build is documented in the build story.
django postgres mcp - plan-markup-app development · repo private
my answer to running bluebeam through parallels, now a family of apps: the mac desktop tool, a local-first browser app, an embeddable viewer that lives inside Contractor Takeoff, and a read-only mcp server so agents can read a workspace. recent additions: freehand, callout, polyline and polygon tools, undo/redo, pdf export from the browser. the July build story shows the desktop and browser workflows.
electron react typescript - contractor-bid shipped · v0.2.1
the free, MIT-licensed engine underneath it all. turns a bid invite into a package you can check: scope pages pulled from the plan set, a takeoff workbook, alerts, a proposal draft, a supplier sendoff zip, all with cited sources. installs in one line with pipx or homebrew, and ships starter scope profiles for 20 CSI divisions.

contributions and useful tools
- SlowBooks Pro shipped · macOS maintainer · v2.9.4
Trent Van Holten's free, source-available bookkeeping replacement for QuickBooks 2003 Pro. i maintain the native Apple Silicon release: exact-tag builds, Developer ID signing, Apple notarization, stapled DMGs, installed-app acceptance, and public-download verification. my later contributions fixed job-costing and payroll behavior and improved Mac release verification. Trent remains the creator and lead maintainer.
python fastapi macos - conmcp shipped · v0.1
open-source mcp server that reads commercial plan sets like an estimator. indexes the sheets, renders drawings for your client's vision model, pulls schedules and LF/SF/EA callouts deterministically, and returns a takeoff report with confidence scores, source citations, and RFI flags. path-sandboxed and local-first, because bid documents are sensitive. report JSON feeds contractor-bid.
python mcp fastmcp - agent-observability-tui shipped · early access
local terminal dashboard for ai agent sessions. imports traces into sqlite, shows one event timeline, and lets you replay, compare, and export runs without re-running the agent. built because scrolling up 4,000 lines of terminal output is not debugging.
python textual sqlite - mcp-macos-toolkit shipped · early access
local mcp server that hands an agent a bounded set of mac tools (homebrew, approved shortcuts, calendar, file search, local models) without giving it an unrestricted shell. everything opt-in, nothing leaves the machine.
typescript mcp macos - homebrew-cli-toolbelt shipped
one command to upgrade a stock macos terminal — 40+ modern cli tools in 3 tiers, with a cheatsheet for every one of them. the toolbelt underneath the AI coding tools.
homebrew shell macos - skills shipped · public skills
reusable engineering workflows for agent CLIs, from shaping an idea through planning, implementation, review, and shipping. public skill packages for Claude Code and Codex; a starting point you can inspect and adapt.

claude-code skill writing - project-planner shipped
ai-guided planning interview that produces a handoff package — prd, stack decisions, task list, and context file. no code, just a clean plan.
planning ai-orchestrator template - mvp-builder shipped

build ai-orchestrator template - local-job-scraper shipped
searches company websites directly for job openings — not indeed, not ziprecruiter. runs automatically every monday via github actions.
python beautifulsoup github-actions - contractorkeith.com shipped
this site. astro, deployed to cloudflare pages, with a custom writing skill keeping the AI slop out of the blog.
astro cloudflare-pages
games and personal projects
