What is punchtape?

punchtape is a state machine that makes your AI get the entire job done — start to finish, with every claim proven. Your words enter verbatim as demands, the machine runs every check itself, compares bytes, tells the agent what to fix, and records a signed finish only when everything stands. You read the result — you do not check anything yourself. It is not another harness and not a plugin: it stands beside your project as the outside party, and works with Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Aider, GLM, Kimi — any agent that can run a shell, any language, any framework. Free, open source (MIT), fully offline, no account.

How to use punchtape?

Paste one line into your AI assistant: "Read https://github.com/neurophant/punchtape/blob/main/docs/BOOTSTRAP.md and act by it" — the agent installs the machine and sets everything up by itself. Then write your task in plain words. The agent works with the machine, and when every check stands, the machine records the verdict: done: true has to be earned.
