The loop
More agent.
Less autopilot.
Parity is built around four moves you can inspect at any point. The transcript is not a side effect; it is the interface.
Act
Shell, files, MCP tools, browser refs, OCR. Real tools, with approvals in the loop.
Verify
Run the test, take the snapshot, read the visible label. Evidence beats a confident summary.
Rewind
Checkpoints restore files and truncate the conversation. Resume when you are ready.
What is in the box
A proper
workbench.
Not a chat wrapper with a shell bolted on. A terminal harness with the parts you need to finish the job.
Terminal-native
Streaming markdown, diffs, approvals, task panels, and a real TUI. No browser tab required.
Browser + eyes
DOM refs, page snapshots, screenshots, and local Apple Vision OCR when text hides in an image.
Agents that persist
Background agents with durable transcripts, cross-session messages, and worktree isolation.
Checkpoints, not vibes
Per-turn file history, `/rewind`, resume, and a transcript that stays on disk after compaction.
MCP, not lock-in
stdio and streamable HTTP servers, OAuth, resources, prompts, and deferred tool loading.
Memory with receipts
Project memory as plain files. Index, topics, stale-index notices, and a `parity memory` command.
Bring your own model
Your endpoint.
Your rules.
Parity speaks the Messages API shape used by local gateways. Point it at the model you already run. No account, no inference markup, no model lock-in.
The beta expects a Messages API-compatible endpoint. OpenAI-compatible onboarding is next.
