Capsule

Pre-alpha

Human-approved execution for AI-proposed code

An experimental macOS platform designed to pair exact JavaScript job plans with one-use human approval and disposable execution. Work now focuses on the approval broker, execution supervisor, and governed runtime. It remains a pre-alpha scaffold that does not yet launch guest runtimes or provide a security boundary.

03

Shwimp Studios

Sandtable

Pre-alpha

A digital Campaign for North Africa

An in-development adaptation of the 1979 board wargame, with a digital umpire intended to handle rules, hidden information, and record-keeping. The pre-alpha engine supports deterministic simulation and replay; playable campaigns and the player interface are still ahead.

04

Shrimpworks

Independent Reviewer

Pre-release

Independent model review of Git changes

A local CLI that captures a fixed changeset, gets a blind assessment through OpenRouter, and challenges findings before considering the author's explanation. Produces structured reports with explicit evidence gaps and cost limits. Available from source as a pre-release.

05

Shwimp Studios

Trove

Prototype

Local-first bookmark cleanup

Import a browser bookmark export, find duplicates, assess link quality, and organize the collection before exporting it. Cleanup happens locally without changing the source file, with optional link-health checks.

06

Shrimpworks

Kyn

Released

Related-file checks for code review and CI

A stateless CLI that checks whether related files change together: a component and its story, an API handler and its tests, or a module and its documentation. Readable YAML policies produce consistent local and CI results, with installable releases.

07

Shwimp Studios

Waves

Pre-alpha

The WAP Labs browser and early mobile web stack

The desktop browser in WAP Labs, backed by a Rust WML engine, native WAP transport, and an interoperability lab. Try the engine in the web simulator today; packaged desktop releases and protocol conformance remain in development.

08

Shrimpworks

Formly Contract

Early experiment · Future uncertain

Agent-readable contracts for Angular forms

An early experiment in turning Angular Formly configurations into structured descriptions of fields, constraints, states, and locator evidence for tests and coding agents. Feasibility and scope are still being evaluated; continued development and a public release are not committed.

09

Shrimpworks

Package Spelunker

Early experiment · Future uncertain

Evidence-backed package and repository analysis

An early experiment in understanding installed packages and their public APIs without executing package code. Initial work covers package snapshots, resolution, and API modeling. Broader repository analysis and agent tooling are exploratory ideas; continued development and a public release are not committed.

Shrimpworks

Session Chat

Research alpha

Disposable encrypted conversation protocols

A Rust research project for temporary, end-to-end encrypted conversations, combining invitation-based admission, MLS messaging, and encrypted-storage recovery tests. The source-only alpha is a headless protocol laboratory, with a deployable chat application still ahead.
