What you're sponsoring

BMO is a multiplayer engineering workspace in the terminal. Describe what you want — fix a bug, add a feature, refactor a module — and BMO reads your code, makes edits, runs commands, and verifies the result. Parallel agents coordinate through a signal fabric, workspace claims, and review gates; edits and risky tools wait for your
confirmation by default.

BMO is Apache-2.0, runs on your workstation, and does not require a hosted
backend. It works with Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Vertex AI, Bedrock,
OpenRouter, and local OpenAI-compatible providers.

Why it's different

• Shared workspace, not isolated chats. You and the agents use the same
  sessions, tools, data dir, and evidence.
• Approvals by default. Edits and risky tools wait for confirmation; auto-
  approval is an explicit opt-in.
• Signal fabric + stigmergic coordination. Advisory deposits, zone pressure,
  and fabric-native induction let agents discover patterns and propose rules
  without explicit orchestration — every beat writes machine-readable receipts.
• Many surfaces, one core. Interactive TUI, headless CLI, HTTP server, MCP,
  and A2A all expose the same concepts.
• Coordination under parallelism. Workspace claims, mesh routing,
  workstreams, and a multiplayer coordination dashboard keep overlap visible
  and governable.

Public coordination specs

BMO implements patterns formalized as standalone, reusable specs:

• agent-coordination-substrate — signals, zone pressure, mortal claims, induction (Go reference impl + conformance runner)
• swarm-orchestration-spec v1.1 — orchestration taxonomy and environment-mediated coordination
• agent-coordination-readout — recommendation packets, outcome ledgers, operator cognition

What your sponsorship funds

• Maintaining the BMO core (TUI, headless CLI, HTTP/MCP/A2A surfaces)
• Hardening the signal fabric, workspace claims, and review-gate primitives
• Keeping the public coordination specs in lockstep with a working reference
  implementation
• Documentation, security posture, and reproducible proof harnesses

Status

BMO is pre-1.0 (v0.x). CLI flags and on-disk formats may still change between
minor releases — pin a reviewed release tag
for production use. Sponsorships directly extend the time available to push
toward a stable 1.0 and the surrounding spec ecosystem.

Thank you for supporting open agent infrastructure that runs on your machine,
under your approval, with the receipts to prove it.
