The tool places the user in a manager role with two human approval gates, so no agent plan or diff proceeds without explicit sign-off. It runs entirely on the user's machine with a bundled database and requires no Coppice account or separate subscription.", "body_md": "Hi everyone. \n\nI built Coppice because running several coding agents in separate terminals made me a worse reviewer, not a faster one.

No Coppice account, no second subscription.\n\nLearn more:\n\n[https://github.com/fertile-org/coppice](https://github.com/fertile-org/coppice)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/coppice-a-desktop-board-where-you-approve-your-cli-agents-plans-and-diffs", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/bahung1221/coppice-a-desktop-board-where-you-approve-your-cli-agents-plans-and-diffs-13f2", "published_at": "2026-10-24 15:36:56+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-24 15:42:19.594559+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-tools", "developer-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Coppice", "Claude Code", "Codex", "Cursor", "OpenCode"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/coppice-a-desktop-board-where-you-approve-your-cli-agents-plans-and-diffs", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/coppice-a-desktop-board-where-you-approve-your-cli-agents-plans-and-diffs.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/coppice-a-desktop-board-where-you-approve-your-cli-agents-plans-and-diffs.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/coppice-a-desktop-board-where-you-approve-your-cli-agents-plans-and-diffs.jsonld"}}
