BaseCode – MDM for Coding Agents

BaseCode launches a management platform that lets organizations centrally inject agent identities, coding policies, skills, MCP servers and models into coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Gemini and opencode, while observing every prompt, project and token and enforcing guardrails and budgets across the fleet. The platform captures project context and decisions in a knowledge graph, logs every prompt and tool call, and allows remote model swapping and complexity routing to cut costs.

Your engineers run Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Gemini and opencode on their machines. basecode lets you centrally inject agent identities, coding policies, skills, MCP servers and models into all of them — then observe every prompt, project and token, and enforce guardrails and budgets across the fleet.

| LangGraph concept | Lyzr ADK equivalent | | Graph nodes/edges for multi-step flow | Multiple studio.create_agent() instances, orchestrated via sequential .run() calls | | Shared state across nodes | Context objects or session memory | | Tool-calling nodes | agent.add_tool() with typed Python functions | | Persistence/checkpointing | memory=N + session_id on agent.run() |

Employees leave. Knowledge stays.

Every project's context, decisions and learnings are captured in a knowledge graph on your gateway — not in one person's head. Attrition doesn't take your codebase's memory with it.

Nothing is a black box.

Every prompt, token, model call and tool call across the fleet is observed, attributed and audit-logged — so what your agents build is never a mystery.

Day-one onboarding.

A new hire's agent inherits profiles, skills, MCP servers and project knowledge the moment their device enrolls — they build like a veteran from the first prompt.

Who is building what — across every person, project and device. #

basecode attributes real coding activity — active coding time, recency and token spend — across Claude Code, Codex and Copilot, rolled up per person or per group. Duplicate device snapshots of the same folder are counted once, across all of a person's devices.

  • Per-person or per-group treemaps— pivot by coding time, 7-day activity, or token spend. - ✓ Agent attribution— every project shows which agents built it: cc, cdx, cplt badges. - ✓ Zoom out to the whole org— regions group the same project across owners; click a tile to open that person.

1,284 Requests

See every prompt. Guard every response. #

Every request from every employee's coding agent flows through the gateway — and shows up in a live log with latency, tokens and cost. Enforcement runs in the request path, at the gateway — it can't be switched off from a laptop — and every decision is retained as an audit-ready record.

  • Policy-engine guardrails— evaluate prompts and responses against org policy with OPA / Cedar: allow, deny or redact before anything reaches a model. - ✓ Slice by anything— status, model, provider, virtual key, routing rule, user, team or customer. - ✓ MCP logs too— every connector interaction observed and audit-logged.

Remotely swap the model inside any coding agent. Cut cost with complexity routing. #

Route Claude Code, Codex and Copilot through the basecode gateway — or let any of them keep their own subscription. Map their model slots to any provider's model, hosted or self-hosted, behind scoped virtual keys.

  • Complexity Router— classifies each request and routes simple edits to cheap models, hard reasoning to frontier ones. Routine work runs at a fraction of frontier-model cost. - ✓ Hard budgets— spend ceilings per group, per model, per employee,** enforced before the request is sent**, not an alert after the invoice arrives. - ✓ Virtual keys & scopes— agents never hold raw provider keys. Off-scope models get 403 Model not allowed.

Give every coding agent an identity your company controls. #

An Agent Profile is a git repo describing an agent — its rules, soul, duties, knowledge and skills. Profiles live on the gateway per group and auto-sync to every member device. Whatever agent your developers run, it follows the profile.

  • Just git — versionable governance. Update enterprise knowledge, coding policy and rules with commits, branches, PRs and rollbacks. Every policy change is diff-able and auditable. - ✓ A defined, open structure. agent.yaml · RULES.md · SOUL.md · README.md + knowledge/ and skills/ folders. No proprietary lock-in. - ✓ Auto-synced to the fleet. Stored on the gateway per group, pushed to member devices on join and on every change. - ✓ Policy the agent actually enforces. Framework restrictions, coding standards, observability instructions — the agent refuses off-policy work and redirects to your approved stack.

Approved-stack policy, checkbox by checkbox — admins pick exactly which coding, frontend, backend and agent frameworks, deployment targets and observability tools every agent may use. Agents inherit the selection and refuse anything off-list.

lyzr-adk-builder: builds exclusively with the Lyzr ADK — LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen and raw API calls are denied. One repo defines it; the whole fleet obeys it.

One hideable TUI that drives every coding agent — in any IDE. #

Your developers keep the agents they already love, exactly as they are — no rip-and-replace, no adoption cliff. basecode ships a hideable client TUI (F2 to toggle, Ctrl-] to detach and keep running) that wraps the agents you already use — 100% additive, compatible with any IDE or terminal.

Swap a session between agents in one click. #

Carry the full history and context of a conversation from Claude Code into Codex, Copilot or any other agent — mid-task, no copy-paste.

  • Skills & MCP injection— author skills centrally, approve MCP servers once, and one-click install them into anyone's coding agent from a synced catalog. - ✓ Ship custom subagents to every developer— plain-markdown definitions written to .claude/agents/ on every device. One meticulous code reviewer, org-wide, in one save. - ✓ Broadcast to everyone, assign work to anyone— fleet-wide banners land inside every agent; agent-enforced TODOs report ticks attributed to enrolled email. - ✓ No coding agent yet? basecode ships its own —Architect, a built-in Rust coding agent: very low memory, fast edits, expert at building agents.

Cost control, fleet ops and a built-in agent — without the rip-and-replace. #

Complexity Router

Classifies each request and routes simple edits to cheap models, hard reasoning to frontier ones — automatically. Routine work runs at a fraction of frontier-model cost.

Groups

Device cohorts with scoped everything — skills, MCP, profiles and subagents auto-sync to every device that joins. Manager vs admin authority, presence built-in.

Broadcasts & tasks

A live channel to your whole engineering fleet — announcements land as banners in every TUI, and agent-enforced TODOs report completion per enrolled email.

Architect, built-in

basecode's first-party coding agent, written in Rust — very low memory, fast edits, and exceptionally good at building agents.

Built on an open standard — the Git Agent Protocol. #

Every basecode profile is an OpenGAP repo — the open format for describing agents as versionable git, maintained by Lyzr and adopted by a growing open-source community. Your agent governance is portable, diff-able and vendor-neutral by construction — if you ever leave basecode, you take all of it with you: profiles, policies and knowledge are plain git.

Everything basecode does — in one view. #

You've seen each capability up close. Here are all twelve together, ordered the way a buying committee reads: see everything, control the spend, govern the work, and roll out with zero disruption.

Fleet observability

Coding time, recency & token spend per person, project and device- Treemaps per person or per group, with agent-attribution badges

  • Duplicate folder snapshots counted once across devices

Guardrails & LLM logs

  • Every prompt logged with tokens, latency and cost - OPA / Cedar policies allow, deny or redact in-line
  • MCP tool calls get the same audit treatment

Budgets & limits

Hard spend ceilings per group, per model, per employee- Token & request rate limits with hourly / daily / monthly resets

  • Enforced at the gateway — not on the honor system

Model gateway

  • Remap any agent's model slots to any provider— hosted or self-hosted - Scoped virtual keys— agents never hold raw provider keys Complexity Router: cheap models for easy tasks, frontier for hard ones

Agent Profiles (OpenGAP)

  • Each agent's identity is a git repo — agent.yaml, RULES.md, SOUL.md, knowledge & skills
  • Auto-syncs to every member device on join and on every change
  • Agents refuse off-policy work— no plugin, no fork

Approved-stack policy

  • Six dimensions: coding, frontend, backend, deployment, observability, agent framework Checkbox governance per workspace or per group- Agents inherit the selection and refuse anything off-list

Client TUI

  • Hideable sidebar (F2), detach and keep running (Ctrl-]) 100% additive— wraps the agents you already use, in any IDE- Swap a session between agents mid-task, full context carried

Skills & MCP injection

  • Author skills centrally — scoped by agent compatibility and allowed tools Approved MCP catalog: one-click install into anyone's agent- Pushed per group or per employee, synced live

Subagents

  • Plain-markdown agent definitions — no SDK, no build step - Written to .claude/agents/ on every device
  • One code reviewer pushed org-wide in one save
