Hey everyone! The first 100 stars are always the hardest, so I wanted to share a big milestone and launch update. I just released LoopTroop v0.4!

What is LoopTroop?

LoopTroop is a free, open-source, local-first GUI designed to eliminate "endless chat drift" in AI coding assistants. Instead of unstructured back-and-forth chat, it breaks complex software tasks into planned task beads, automated recovery loops, and explicit human approval gates.

How it works:

🧠 LLM Councils: Architect and plan complex features before writing code.

🔁 Ralph Loops: Iteratively run, test, and self-correct until the feature works.

🌲 OpenCode Worktrees: Safely isolate code changes and automatically ship clean PRs.

Building LoopTroop in public has been an awesome journey. If you’re into agentic coding tools, grab the repo, run npm run dev, and test it on your own codebase.
