Show HN: LocalAgent: local coding agent CLI with trust and replay

Repo: https://github.com/CalvinSturm/LocalAgent https://github.com/CalvinSturm/LocalAgent What it does: - Runs against local providers (LM Studio / llama.cpp server / Ollama) - Tool calling with explicit hard gates (--allow-shell, --allow-write, write tools opt-in) - Trust layer: policy rules, approval workflows, audit trail - Replayable run artifacts + verification - MCP stdio tool support (including Playwright MCP) - Eval harness for deterministic coding/browser task packs Why I built it: I originally tried wrapping trust controls around existing agent CLIs, but tool execution is too native in those products to reliably enforce policy externally. So I built a runtime where tool calling + trust controls are first-class. Defaults stay safe: - trust off - shell/write disabled - write tools hidden unless enabled Quickstart: cargo install --path . localagent init localagent doctor --provider lmstudio localagent --provider lmstudio --model <model> chat --tui true I’d appreciate feedback on: 1. trust/policy model ergonomics 2. eval design for local model benchmarking 3. TUI workflow for day-to-day coding use
