Every download identifies the selected version and includes a checksum to verify its files.
Your harness runs selected components with the file, command and network permissions you choose.
Anything else? Ask on the support page.
Start with the guides for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi and Baltor Harness. The setup page also has ready entries for Cursor, VS Code and Gemini CLI, and any other app that speaks MCP connects to the same address.
Three ways. Connect your harness over MCP to search and download files, call the REST API with a Baltor key from a script, or give an agent a public feed link that needs no key. Get set up shows each one.
No. Bring the model access you already have: a provider key, a model on your own computer, Ollama Cloud, or a machine on your network. Baltor never asks for a model key.
One item at the version you chose counts once a month. A search, a second look at the same result and a refused download are not downloads.
Baltor records account and download information, plus feedback, reports and files you choose to submit through available features. Browsing and downloading do not automatically upload your local project or model keys. The privacy notice explains storage, access, data exchange and retention.

Service access and usage charges are separate from Baltor. Source access and reuse restrictions still apply.
These are editorial starting points for different tasks, with repository-maintained setup instructions and a dated public popularity signal. No paid placement affects inclusion or order. Test the chosen server against your task, permissions and installed versions.
We do not yet publish per-server Baltor usage counts or an adoption ranking. Listing a server here does not mean Baltor agents have used or qualified it. Recorded integrations and successful task runs are required before we label one “used by Baltor.”
The MCP reference-server collection includes examples such as filesystem access and memory. Its repository stars cover the collection, so they are not compared with individual servers above.
Run a local queue of tasks with your own model access. Set a call budget and time limit, keep task checkpoints and review a morning report.

Prepare a bounded queue for your own Linux, macOS or WSL worker. The same command works on a cloud machine you control. Download the task list, run the command there, and bring its status report back here.
Preparation and report inspection happen in this browser. Your task paths and imported reports stay here. The worker uses your model access and hosting. A queue limit counts calls reserved, so review your provider's token and spending controls separately.
Choose task files and limits for the worker you control.
Save baltor-tasks.txt in your checkout. Configure your model access and follow the worker prerequisites and recovery guide before starting. Use Ctrl+C in that worker's terminal to interrupt its owned process group.
Save the command's JSON output as a status file. Reuse the same task paths and limits. The worker preserves reservations and holds uncertain outcomes for reconciliation.
Choose a queue status report to inspect its attempts.
| Task | State | Calls reserved | Process exit |
|---|
See which attempts finished, failed or need review, with their retained task checkpoints.
A finished process is not an accepted result. Check the artifacts against the task's acceptance criteria.
Use your provider account or local endpoint. Call limits control how many requests the queue can make.
Turn it on with a qualified fresh-instance profile, or leave it off for a session-based setup. Check your selected harness's settings. Start with one short task and inspect its artifacts before leaving a longer queue unattended.
A fresh process separates context; it does not establish task success. The worker guide explains the supported profiles and their limits.
Pro, $49 a month. The Baltor Harness is free.
Each step carries only the context, files and tools it asks for. Measure the effect on a task you know: savings depend on the task, the model and the setup.
Context
Search returns short results. Your agent downloads only the item it chose, so a small step never carries the whole history.
Model
You choose the model for each step, so a smaller or local model can take the steps it handles well, and a large model is kept for the steps that need it.
Code
Every item carries its source, licence and exact version, so a script or tool that already exists can be downloaded instead of written again at every run.
Tools
A step sees only the tools and MCP servers it asked for, so its instructions stay short and its choices stay clear.
Savings depend on the task, the model and the setup. We claim no percentage.
In one measured test, library items did not make a cheap model better at data cleanup, cost 45 to 446 percent more prompt tokens per step, and one made results worse. We published it anyway.
Read the data cleanup case studyPro, $49 a month. No overage billing.
Each run on the Baltor Harness records what a step asked for, which files it used, which model ran it, how long it took and whether the result was accepted. Baltor is designed to use these records to set up the next task better.

One downloadable container includes OpenCode, the Baltor harness, Python, Node.js and Git. Your project and model access stay with you.
Install Docker, then pull the worker and check its installation. No model or provider key is included.

Download the Compose configuration. Save it beside a new project folder. On Linux, set BALTOR_UID and BALTOR_GID to your user and group IDs before mounting your own files. The current published image is Linux amd64; Docker Desktop can use that platform on other supported computers.
Put your instructions in project/task.md. Supply your provider key through your local environment. This example selects an Ollama Cloud model and allocates thirty model calls.
docker compose run --rm --entrypoint baltor-worker worker \ --task /work/task.md --provider ollama_cloud --model gemma4:31b \ --harness baltor --max-model-calls 30 --max-passes 4 \ --authorize-project-commands
Choose --harness opencode for OpenCode, or --harness gateway for the direct provider route. Each run gets a new folder under project/baltor-runs, with its artifacts and saved history. Project commands require the explicit flag above; use it for work you trust inside the mounted project.
The container profiles start a fresh process, home and configuration for each modelled step. Provider credentials stay in the parent broker. The engine can plan additional work and dependency-bound subproblems as a task proceeds, within the same remaining authority and call allowance.
Docker isolates the whole worker. These profiles do not promise a separate operating-system sandbox for every process. Native harness tools are disabled in the brokered profile; the engine owns actions and acceptance. The existing namespace profile remains a separate option on a compatible host.
Read the worker operating guide. Connecting to the hosted library uses a separate personal Baltor client key; downloading this worker does not include a library subscription or model usage.
Try procedural 3D examples and build a reusable creative brief. Adjust a scene, keep its parameters and export an editable result.
The examples below are editable prototypes. The playable browser demo lets you change a scene and export it.
These prototypes generate a static 3D blockout and four reference views from width, height and depth, ready to take into your own rigging, material or simulation tools.
Keep character shape, materials, palette, expression, pose, camera, lighting and output format in a structured brief. Use it to describe revisions consistently.

For a developer whose agent begins every task empty-handed. Each step gets the skills, instructions and reusable code it needs, and you keep your own harness, your own models and your own machine.
Your agent searches the library and downloads only the item it chose, keeping each prompt focused on the current step.
Every item carries its source, version, licence and digest, so your agent can pick one up instead of writing it a second time.
The model choice stays yours at every step. Your model key stays in your environment, and Baltor never asks for it.
Your harness runs where it already runs. Baltor answers requests for selected files while your code and repository stay on your machine.
Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi and the Baltor Harness each have written steps on Get set up.

We measured whether library items, placed in each step, help a small or cheap model clean data. On this test they did not, and one made results worse.
With the phone item, glm-5.3-flash:cloud scored 0.842 in all three repetitions, against 1.000, 0.974 and 1.000 without it. The item's digit-count rule is incomplete, and the model followed it: it lost every United Kingdom number written with a (0) trunk prefix and every number dialled with 011.
With the items, the cheap model spent 45 to 446 percent more prompt tokens per step in every family, and more requests and more seconds per step.
Without the items, the cheap cloud model already averaged 0.948 to 1.000 in each family and passed 12 of 12 steps. The larger glm-5.2:cloud was not separated from it in any family.
In all 37 of its steps, qwen2.5-coder:7b wrote its tool calls as plain text, so Pi ended each step with no output file. It scored 0 with and without material.
| Family | Without the item | With the item | Prompt tokens per step | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phone numbers | 0.991, 3 of 3 passed | 0.842, 0 of 3 passed | 38,709 without, 87,038 with | Clearly worse |
| Email addresses | 0.952, 3 of 3 passed | 0.943, 3 of 3 passed | 71,927 without, 104,448 with | Not separated |
| Postal addresses | 0.948, 3 of 3 passed | 0.969, 3 of 3 passed | 17,446 without, 36,041 with | Not separated |
| Duplicate records | 1.000, 3 of 3 passed | 0.991, 3 of 3 passed | 22,135 without, 120,868 with | Not separated |
The cheap cloud model, glm-5.3-flash:cloud through Ollama Cloud, three repetitions each: record accuracy for phones, emails and addresses, and pair F1 for duplicates. Clearly worse means every repetition with the item scored below every repetition without it.
We stopped showing the phone item, and no demonstration on this site may use an item that a measurement found harmful.
It does not show that library material improves accuracy, lets a small model match a larger one, or saves tokens, time or money. It says nothing about data, models or harnesses that were not tested.
The 143 rows are synthetic, written by the study's author, who knew the items. The design was frozen before the first model call, each step ran three times in a fresh Pi process, and an independent scorer checked every output. The full report, every failure included, is in the public repository.
Can a cheap cloud model in an open-source harness use the library on its own? Gemma 4 31B in Pi searched the library, installed a skill, and a new Pi session loaded that skill and used it.
Pi has no built-in Model Context Protocol client, so Baltor connects through a Pi extension: one TypeScript file, served at /assets/pi/baltor.ts. It adds two tools, baltor_search and baltor_download.
Gemma 4 31B through Ollama Cloud. Pi calls the model with your own access; Baltor never asks for a model key.
The file .pi/baltor.json names the environment variable that holds your Baltor key, never the key itself. The extension sends the key only to the service and removes it from every tool result.
The model searched the library with baltor_search. A search returns references, never file bodies.
baltor_download writes a file only when it is exactly the file that was published, so a changed or broken download never lands in your project.
The skill landed in .pi/skills/<name>/SKILL.md. The extension never replaces a folder it did not install.
A new Pi session loaded the skill. Pi lists a new skill from the next session on.
The model used the skill in that session.
Save the extension in your project, read it first, add the configuration and run the check. The check makes no model call and downloads nothing; its last line says Result: ready.
mkdir -p .pi/extensions curl -fsSL https://baltor.ai/assets/pi/baltor.ts -o .pi/extensions/baltor.ts pi -p --baltor-check
It was one check on one day. It shows the path from search to use working in Pi with a cheap cloud model; it does not measure whether the finished work was better than without the skill.
An account should belong to whoever controls its email address. This is how Baltor's sign-up makes sure of that, and what the live checks of September 24, 2026 showed.
On September 23, 2026 we probed our identity provider. Its own public sign-up kept the first password chosen for an address that was not yet confirmed. Whoever registered your address first could set its password, and you would activate their account by confirming it. Account creation stayed closed until the fix below was live.
accounts@mail.baltor.ai.Real accounts with disposable inboxes on the live service, at 13:03 UTC on September 24, 2026. No password, token or message body was recorded.
It came from accounts@mail.baltor.ai with the subject "Confirm your Baltor account", and its link opened the confirmation page.
Following the link confirmed the address, set the password and signed the owner in.
An address first registered through the provider's own sign-up was taken over by Baltor's sign-up. After that, the first password no longer worked, and the one chosen on Baltor's page did.
The identity provider's own public sign-up is still open at the provider. The service refuses every account it did not create, as the check showed.
Today the link in the message opens the service at its hosting address on fly.dev rather than at baltor.ai. Both addresses reach the same service.

Overnight / AFK Work on a worker you control. The local tools remain included with Pro at no extra charge.
The run desk and local tools are free to explore today. Max subscriptions are not sold during this public preview. Your worker uses your own model access and hosting.
No. A Baltor key gives access to the library. The model calls happen in your own tools, with your own provider account or your own models.
They stay where you saved them. Revoking a key or cancelling stops new requests; it does not recall files that were already delivered.
Yes. Agent Feeds is free through December 31, 2026 (Eastern), with no automatic charge. A paid feed subscription will need your opt-in. The Public Good collection is free with an account. The Baltor Harness is free and open source. Agent Feeds + Harness Files adds the full library for $49 a month. While founding places last, a new account gets Pro free each month. Your account holds a founding place, so Agent Feeds + Harness Files is free for it each month. Your account includes Pro free each month.
Not today. One account holds one person's keys. Each person on a team needs their own Agent Feeds + Harness Files account.
Create your account, subscribe to Pro for $49 a month and connect your harness.

Workspace
Check a result's source and licence, then download the exact version. Your own tools run in your environment.
Search
Search returns references. Fetching a body requires a separate access check and may record usage.
Connect, describe the material you need, then inspect the returned source and permissions before downloading.
Staff read every request. Write only what a step needs; the text is kept with your account.
The library
Search answers a question. The table shows everything that is there: skills, instruction files, rules, subagents, commands, hooks, plugin manifests, protocol server settings, schemas and code. Type to narrow it, sort a column, and open a row to read its details before you fetch the file.
Tool filters include matching tags and files whose compatibility is not recorded. Every file your account may use is listed with the effects it declares. Before you check or fetch a file that declares more than reading files, such as running a command, the page names those effects and asks you to confirm. Nothing runs on this page.

How it works
Start with what you want to achieve. Break the work into steps, give each step relevant expertise and tools, then check the result before moving on.
The plan can change as you learn more. A step can ask for missing information, try another approach or send unfinished work back for improvement, within the limits you set.
See what each step needs
Choose a step to see its information, tools and expected result. The person inspecting the data needs different material from the person checking the finished import.
This is an illustration, not a recorded customer result. Selecting a step does not access your files or call a model.
Useful information, when it is needed
A useful briefing is not always the shortest one. Start with relevant information and add more when the work reveals a gap.
It can search for additional material or ask a question. Your permissions and remaining budget still apply. New instructions cannot grant access to private files or allow spending by themselves.
If an action times out, first check whether it happened. Trying again must not send a second email or repeat another change by mistake.
Use what suits the work
The goal and quality checks stay the same. The way a step does the work can vary.
Give your chosen development tool a clear brief, selected files and the permissions needed to build or repair the missing pieces.
A decision may need one model request rather than a complete development session. Use a compatible model service you have already configured.
Use existing tested code when it meets the requirements, saving model calls for the steps that need new code.
Models run on your machine or through a provider you choose, using the model access you already control.
Make the effort count
These are the questions Baltor is designed to address at each step of the work.
Match information to the task. Bring in more when it helps, without making every step carry the whole history.
Relevant information, less repetitionCompare suitable models and reusable code for each step, against your quality and spending requirements.
An approach that fits the workBring relevant methods, examples and checks into the work, with sources and applicability kept visible.
Specific guidance, not generic guessesFind an eligible implementation first. Generate new code for the gaps instead of reproducing a known solution as more output tokens.
Reuse what is already qualifiedKeep useful results and corrections. Compare proposed improvements on real tasks before making them the default.
Measured improvement, not blind repetitionBuilding blocks for better solutions
Useful intelligence includes how to approach the work, code that can do it, what happened before, and what you want done differently.
Methods, questions, constraints, examples and output contracts that guide the work.
A field-definition guide and a checklist for missing values.
Reusable functions, tools, files and workflows with declared inputs, outputs and effects.
A qualified normalizer with its dependency and verification records.
Saved outcomes, failures, repairs, measurements and solution information that can inform a new task.
A previous import's failed assumptions and the checks that detected them.
Scoped corrections, priorities and instructions supplied by a person.
“Keep uncertain matches for review. Never overwrite the original file.”
The four layers describe the broader product. The hosted library serves reusable files and reference material. Coverage and execution evidence vary; a populated library is not proof of useful results on every task.
Your tools, with help from Baltor
Anyone can create an account on Get started. This service is not taking new accounts right now. With an account, you sign in with your email address and password, create a Baltor key for each of your tools on your account page, search the library, download the files your plan includes and see your usage.
The complete example above is still being tested from start to finish. The playable browser demo supports scene changes and editable export. We have not established token savings or overnight task completion.
Free Public Good components, beginning with worker protection, are available on Public Good. See the next product steps in the public pitch deck.
Get set up
Three steps: create your account, connect your harness, make your first download. Your harness is the program that runs your coding agent, such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. Your tools and model access stay yours.
Use one, or all three. None of them needs your model key.
MCP server
One server entry in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, VS Code, Pi or any app that speaks MCP (Model Context Protocol). Your agent searches the library and downloads exact files.
Checking the connection address
OAuth sign-in in apps that support it, or a Baltor key from your environment in any app.
Choose your harnessREST API
For CI jobs and your own harness. Send a Baltor key in the Authorization header, search, then download the exact version you chose.
POST /api/v1/retrieval

Feed links
No account and no key. Put a source collection's link in your agent's instructions, as JSON Feed or Markdown. Library updates also come as RSS.
/feeds/collections/coding-benchmarks.md
Step 1
Leave your email address on Get started, and we send your link to finish setting up.
Get startedConfirm your email address and choose a password. Creating an account does not start a subscription.

Step 2
Baltor accepts OAuth sign-in from Claude Code, Claude on the web and Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and OpenCode. In the app, add and choose its sign-in option. Sign in to Baltor, review the app and permissions, then allow the connection. Your password and model keys are not handed to the app.
codex mcp add baltor --url Checking the connection address. Codex starts the Baltor sign-in itself; run codex mcp login baltor only if that sign-in did not finish.opencode mcp auth baltor.In Claude Code, run these two commands in your project folder. The second one opens the Baltor sign-in page in your browser:
Loading the connection commands
The app needs authorization-code support with PKCE and resource-bound tokens. Connection details and limits. The key settings below work for every harness listed, including apps that cannot sign in with OAuth.
Download the container with OpenCode and the Baltor harness. Bring your own model access.
Pick yours below. Create a Baltor key, keep it in your environment, and copy the connection settings. The configuration contains the variable name, never your key.
For apps such as Open WebUI, use the OpenAPI connection to search the same library, inspect an exact version and download its files.
https://baltor.ai/api/v1/connect as the server address.request_id.Inspect the OpenAPI document. Search and manifests read metadata. The first download of an item version in a calendar month counts once. Files with additional effects still require the step's declared permissions.

These apps reach the same address with a Baltor key. Each entry holds a reference to your key, never the key itself. For Cursor and Gemini CLI, start the app from a terminal where BALTOR_SERVICE_TOKEN is set.
.cursor/mcp.jsonAdd this entry to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project.
Loading the connection settings
Check it in Cursor Settings under MCP, or run agent mcp list with the Cursor CLI.
.vscode/mcp.jsonAdd this to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace. VS Code asks for your Baltor key once and keeps it in its own secret storage.

Check it with gemini mcp list.
Any other app that speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP connects the same way: the address above, your Baltor key in the Authorization header from your environment, and Baltor-Step-Effects to say what its steps may do.
This prompt hides the value while you enter it. The value is not part of the command history. The client process inherits the environment variable.
read -rsp "Baltor key: " BALTOR_SERVICE_TOKEN export BALTOR_SERVICE_TOKEN
After closing the client, clear the terminal variable with unset BALTOR_SERVICE_TOKEN. Do not run environment dumps or record the terminal while handling secrets.
Step 3
Ask your connected agent to find files for a real task. For example:
Search Baltor for a CSV validation tool. Show its source, licence and requirements before downloading it.
Your agent sees results first. It downloads the files you chose with their required dependencies; the download appears in your usage.
Connecting needs nothing installed beside your harness. The Baltor Harness runs on your machine and is free and open source under the MIT licence; the documentation has its installation steps.

Connecting to Baltor grants access to the files your plan includes. It does not give the service permission to run commands on your computer.
Your Baltor key reaches the library. Your model key stays in your harness, and Baltor never asks for it.
A downloaded file grants no permission to run anything. Your harness decides, with the permissions you set.
Search returns references. A file arrives only through a download that names the SHA-256 of its exact bytes.
An item that declares effects on your computer, such as reading or writing files, says so before you download it, and your harness sets what each step may do.
A Baltor key identifies one connection with limited permissions. The service stores key digests, checks scope and expiry, and can revoke access. Your model provider keys belong with your local client or approved credential broker. Do not enter them into the website.
An email sign-in lasts as long as your browser tab: the page keeps it in the tab's session storage, so reloading keeps you signed in, and closing the tab or signing out ends it. A Baltor key entered on the sign-in page stays in page memory only, and reloading clears it. Avoid shared devices, untrusted extensions and screenshots of credentials.
Search returns permitted metadata. Fetching a body rechecks access and its exact identity. A digest proves that bytes match the selected reference; it does not prove that the material is safe, correct or useful.
Inspect unfamiliar code and plugins. Use a confined workspace and a sandbox appropriate to the work, with explicit file, command and network permissions. A shared container does not isolate one process from every other process inside it.
Every admitted item has an approval record tied to its exact bytes. No reviewer judges an item it wrote, and one written rejection keeps an item out, with the reason recorded.
Full per-item review needs approval from at least two reviewers of at least two model families, none of them from the family of the model that wrote the item. An initial screen uses one calibrated independent reviewer against written criteria: the practice it describes is sound, what it says about its cited source is true, its licence is settled, and it declares every effect its steps have on your computer, such as reading or writing files.
Generated batches use per-item automated checks and independent sampled review. Since October 5, 2026 a generated item is published once it passes the automated checks, and the sampled review continues after publication and withdraws what it rejects. A calibrated reviewer from a different model family than the generator's author reviews a random sample, with deliberately defective examples included to check the reviewer. Not every item in an accepted batch receives a model review. Its evidence records which checks ran and whether its independent review is complete or ongoing. Approval does not imply installation or execution, or an improvement in your task results.
Before any reviewer reads an item, automated checks refuse it for a licence that is not accepted or that disagrees with the licence the item declares, a missing part, unsafe instructions such as a download piped into a shell or a read of a credential file, declared effects that do not match its steps, a value shaped like a credential, or a copy of another item. Material from outside sources also needs a record of where its exact bytes came from.
The approval record names each reviewer, with its decision and its reasons. The library's first 43 items were approved on September 21, 2026, before the rule on model families: three reviewers who wrote none of them, one for correctness and usefulness, one for provenance, licence and safety, and one adversarial, each approved every one of those items, and 6 of the 49 items they judged were rejected. One of those reviewers came from the same model family as the model that wrote the items.
Approval gives an item no permission to run anything. The digest proves that the bytes you download are the approved bytes; it does not prove that they suit your task.
Search text, requested references and service authentication reach the server when you use the workspace. The service records access and usage metadata. The website does not automatically upload your project files, model keys or complete execution traces.
You choose what to send through available submission and upload features. Send content you have permission to provide, check the audience and retention information, and leave out credentials and unrelated personal data. Read the privacy notice for storage, access and deletion details. Embeddings and derived features are not automatically anonymous.
The service runs on one Fly machine in one region with an attached persistent volume. A local backup-and-restore exercise has passed. This is not a multi-region service, an availability guarantee, an independent security audit or a compliance certification.

Privacy
Kind: privacy notice. Updated October 1, 2026 with the owner's approval of voluntary submissions, uploads and data exchange for service operation and improvement. Available features and account permissions determine which operations a person or connected tool can use.
Operator: Baltor.AI, 1428 Bryn Mawr St, Saxton, PA 16678, United States.
Baltor supplies reusable material and tools and supports research, feedback, testing and collaboration. It processes the inputs needed for the operations you request. Browsing and downloading material do not give Baltor automatic access to your computer, local files, prompts or model keys.
You or a tool acting with your permission may send messages, feedback, research, source links, reports, files and other inputs through available forms, uploads, APIs, command-line tools or connections. Baltor may receive, read, store, organize, analyze and return that content to provide requested features, respond to questions, investigate problems, evaluate quality and improve its services and reusable materials. Send only content you have permission to provide, and leave passwords, access keys and unrelated personal information out of submissions.
Where an integration is available, it may exchange selected inputs and results with the service or tool you connect, within the permissions you grant. Private submissions do not become public library material just because they were uploaded. Publication and reuse require the relevant permissions and review. This notice does not grant access to an account, authorize executing uploaded code or make every described interface available to every account.
| Data | Why | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Your email address and password | To sign you in. The password is kept only by the identity provider, in hashed form. Baltor never stores or sees it after sign-up. | Supabase, United States |
| An account record that links your sign-in to your account | To know which material you may read | The service database on Fly, United States (iad) |
| A digest of each access key | To check a key without being able to show it again. The key itself is shown once and never stored. | The service database |
| One usage record for each downloaded item: the item name, its digest and the time | To show usage and reconcile access | The service database |
| Feedback, ratings, requests and other content you explicitly submit, together with the account, dates and version or request references needed to understand it | To respond, reproduce problems, identify missing material and improve the service | The service database on Fly, United States (iad) |
| Submitted reports and files, source links, replies, checksums and immutable revision records | To support collaboration, review, reliable retrieval and improvement work | The service database and private file storage on Fly, United States (iad) |
| Connection and consent records, client metadata, granted scopes, expiry information and token digests | To operate authorized connections, check their permissions and investigate access problems | The service database |
| A digest of a browser session that you signed out of, until it would have expired | To refuse that session afterwards | The service database |
| A waiting list entry, if you ask to join the list: your email address, an optional note of at most 280 characters, the state of the entry and its dates | To invite people in small groups | The service database |
| Diagnostic records of refused requests: a random reference, address path, reason code, account when known, time and service version; request content only when detailed capture is explicitly enabled | To find and fix problems. The default retains the latest 500 failures with metadata only; configured capture and retention limits apply. | The service database |
| Your payment details when you use an available billing feature | Stripe collects and keeps payment details. Baltor receives the customer identifier and subscription information needed to manage access. | Stripe |
The service keeps a count of refused sign-in attempts for each network address in memory for a short time, to slow down guessing. It is not written to disk. To stop one machine from flooding the waiting list, the service also keeps the times of recent waiting list requests under a keyed one-way digest of the sending network address, never the address itself, and removes them once the one-hour counting window has passed.
The default diagnostic profile does not store request bodies or network addresses. Explicitly enabled detailed diagnostics may retain supplied request content for troubleshooting within the configured limits. That content can include project or personal information present in a request. Diagnostic records are restricted, not a public feed; do not rely on automatic removal of every sensitive detail before submitting content.
Access to private submissions follows the account and feature permissions. Authorized service operators may review submissions for support, security, quality evaluation and improvement. Content displayed in a private work log is not an anonymous public feedback feed. Removing a name alone may not make a report anonymous; public summaries need review for identifying details.
Hosting, identity and payment providers process the information needed to run their respective parts of the service. Optional connected tools or model providers may process content when that workflow is enabled and authorized; their own terms and data practices also apply. Uploading a file by itself does not trigger a model call or send it to an unrelated external service. Baltor does not sell personal information. A connection or this notice does not authorize unrelated advertising disclosure or unrestricted access to other accounts.
The hosting provider keeps daily snapshots of the service database for five days. Feedback, reports, uploaded files and their revision history currently have no automatic expiry. They remain available for the purposes above until an authorized removal; deleting a browser session or ending a connection does not erase the records it created. Token expiry limits access, not the lifetime of the associated registration or consent history.
To request deletion of your account or submitted content, write to the contact address below and identify the relevant account or report. Requests are handled by an operator; self-service deletion is not available. Removal must account for stored copies, attachments and revision history, not just hide a listing. Records needed for security, disputes or applicable legal obligations may require separate retention. To leave the waiting list, ask in the same way: the entry keeps only a one-way digest of the address and the history of decisions, so the address itself is gone. Database snapshots expire within the provider's five-day window.

Loading the documentation list.
The local engine is free and open source under the MIT licence. Its quickstart uses Python 3.10 or newer and Docker for code execution. Connecting your existing harness to the hosted library does not require this installation.
python3 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate python -m pip install "https://github.com/alisonjieli-png/loop-engine/archive/refs/heads/main.zip" loop-engine doctor
The engine calls the model you choose, such as a local Ollama, Ollama Cloud or a model server on your own network, with your own key. The repository README has the full steps, including Windows and macOS.
The public website calls a unit of work a step. The implementation uses the canonical Loop runtime described here and in the repository.
A discrete cognitive or act step Loop node is an independently governed instance of the Loop runtime responsible for one clearly defined cognitive step or action. A cognitive step might interpret information, identify a missing requirement, compare alternatives, or evaluate a result. An action might inspect a directory, build software, execute a test, create an artifact, or send an authorized email.
Each discrete cognitive or act step Loop node receives the context, instructions, skills, plugins, tools, and working files relevant to its assignment. Essential information can be supplied directly, while additional information can remain in centralized storage behind authorized, versioned references. It does not automatically need the entire task history or every available tool.
A separately initialized harness process, such as OpenCode, Pi, Codex, or a custom implementation, can perform the assignment. When explicitly permitted, another harness can attempt the same assignment after a failure. The assignment's contracts, permissions, history, and remaining authority persist across those attempts.
Discrete describes the scope of the assignment, not a restriction to one attempt, one model call, or one output. A discrete cognitive or act step Loop node can examine whether an observation matches its expectations, identify a problem, repair or change its approach, and repeat until its declared completion conditions are satisfied.
Alternatively, a discrete cognitive or act step Loop node can publish an initial candidate output and continue working while its continuation conditions and authority permit. It can produce additional alternatives over time, including alternatives that are better, worse, or useful under different circumstances. Consumers must identify exactly which output they used. Publishing an output does not necessarily mean that the producing assignment has finished.
For externally consequential actions, continued operation does not authorize repeated effects. For example, generating alternative email drafts can continue, but sending an email requires its own authorization and protection against duplicate delivery.
Harness Intelligence is a provisioning view over the four persistent layers. It is not a fifth persistent layer.
Runtime Memory is the temporary note board for one run. Saving a note does not promote it into reusable intelligence.
Through your signed-in connection
Model keys stay in your environment or its approved credential manager. A remote model may receive the information you allow your tools to send.
Every executable graph vertex is a Loop. A harness is an implementation adapter used by a Loop. Files, services, contracts and stores are not additional executable vertices.
