Shinobi gives every AI coding agent on your machine — and every cloud Claude session — one shared task spine, decision log, and searched dead-ends ledger. Every failed approach is logged and semantically checked before an agent proposes a similar one, so agents stop repeating mistakes across sessions. Adds mobile approvals (request_approval pushes to your phone) and an autonomous dispatch/swarm that drains the backlog with N parallel agents in isolated git worktrees, all sharing one brain. Local-first SQLite over stdio, or remote streamable-HTTP MCP you can self-host for $0/mo. 39 tools, plugin system, MIT. Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue.dev, Zed.
