The service uses a lines-of-service billing model where each active session occupies a line, and additional lines cost $49/month. It features a curated team of domain-specific agents, native clients for terminal, web, macOS, and iOS, and REST/WebSocket APIs for integration.", "body_md": "### One active session per line\n\nEach active Standard Code session occupies a line of service on your plan. Lines of service can be added to your plan at any time if you require **additional parallel sessions**.\n\nStandard Code is a **coding agent in the cloud** with **unlimited usage**. Like a cell phone plan, you pay for lines of service. Each line on your plan powers one active session at a time.\n\nJoin the waitlist. We'll send you a key when it's your turn.\n\nAlready have an access code? [ Start your $5 1-week trial → ](/start)\n\nStandard Code is able to offer unlimited usage because of its unique **lines-of-service billing model** and a **novel, curated agent architecture**.\n\nEach active Standard Code session occupies a line of service on your plan. Lines of service can be added to your plan at any time if you require **additional parallel sessions**.\n\nFor each active line of service on your plan, you can run a Standard Code session with **unlimited usage**. Usage is constrained by **linear time, not token quota**.\n\nStandard Code is made up of a pre-configured, finely-tuned team of expert agents. Each is **automatically invoked as needed**, and sub-agents **do not count against your active lines of service**.\n\nEvery sub-agent is a specialized **domain-specific agent** with its own curated **prompts, tools, and context**. This allows us to tune the agents that make up Standard Code for maximum efficacy per dollar.\n\nStandard Code's default agent leveraging open weight models. The world's first curated coding agent — powered by a coordinating team of domain-specific agents.\n\nStandard Code's same domain-specific agent architecture powered by OpenAI models. Uses your existing ChatGPT Pro subscription.\n\nRequires at least one active line of service.\n\nHow does it work? Take a look behind the scenes\n\nSessions executing on an **always-on machine**, such as a VPS, can **continue uninterrupted** even if the client you're using to drive the session disconnects.\n\nStandard Code ships with **first-party native clients** for your terminal, the web, macOS, and iOS.\n\nThread history, queued messages, and **even unsent drafts** stay synchronized.\n\nStandard Code exposes the same **REST and WebSocket** APIs its own clients use. Drive sessions from CI, internal dashboards, or your own product.\n\nCreate, message, list, and resume sessions from any language over plain HTTP. No SDK required.\n\n`POST /threads · GET /threads/:id`\n\nStream tokens, tool steps, and the end-of-turn signal as they happen.\n\n`⇅ wss://your-instance/threads/:id/ws`\n\nUse a bearer token to run jobs from a push or a schedule.\n\n`Authorization: Bearer sk_standard_…`\n\nGive Standard Code an outcome. It sets a goal, breaks it into steps, and checks each one off. **Unlimited usage** keeps it working until the goal is complete.\n\nStandard Code dispatches subagents for research, codebase exploration, asset creation, and more. Subagent work **never crowds your session's context**.\n\nStandard Code uses a **dedicated subagent** to compact long-running threads. Compaction happens **in flight** and never pauses your session's work.\n\nAsk for an icon, a hero image, a sprite sheet. The asset subagent **creates it, runs its own QA**, and places the file into your project.\n\nInstall Agent Skills that persist across sessions and connect any MCP server.\n\nWhen a model provider fails, the session moves to another one mid-run and keeps its thread intact.\n\nPer-tool permission gates mean the agent only ever touches what you allow.\n\nPermission prompts follow you to whichever client you are watching, so a waiting session never blocks the machine running it.\n\nAdditional lines available, $49/month each · Secure checkout by Stripe\n\nHosted seats billed centrally: headcount × $49, unlimited usage.\n\nThe entire Standard Code stack on your infrastructure with your inference providers and visibility into usage through the Standard Code admin panel.\n\nJoin the waitlist.
