I have a simple solution that you can try no upfront cost, Use GitHub Copilot in VS Code and try GPT-5 or Gemini .25Pro. Try this open-source tool https://github.com/jahboukie/antigoldfish, Air‑gapped, zero‑trust persistent memory CLI for AI agents and developers. It makes code context and decisions durable, auditable, and portable without relying on any cloud services. It’s built for regulated and offline environments where transparency and operator control are non‑negotiable.
Install globally, initialize it in your project and it will be available inside VS Code without it being an extension. Point your AI coding agent to use agm --help and it will then use the commands to index your entire codebase.
Core features
Transparency & Operator Parity
Global flags: --trace, --dry-run, --json, --explain
Receipts: .antigoldfishmode/receipts/*.json with digests
Journal: .antigoldfishmode/journal.jsonl
Zero‑Trust Policy Broker (local, auditable)
agm policy status — show effective rules
agm policy allow-command <cmd> — permit a command
agm policy allow-path <glob> — permit a path
agm policy doctor [--cmd] [--path] — explain pass/fail and print the fix
agm policy trust <cmd> --minutes 15 — short‑lived dev convenience token
Code‑aware Index & Search
agm index-code [--symbols] [--path .] [--include ...] [--exclude ...]
Add --diff to skip unchanged files after an initial baseline run.
agm search-code <query> [-k N] [--preview N] [--hybrid] [--filter-path ...]
Hybrid FTS + vector rerank; sqlite‑vss when available, otherwise local cosine fallback
Air‑Gapped Context (.agmctx)
"To clarify the memory-only version is available for immediate testing: AntiGoldfishMode was the initial memory-only CLI tool. AgentOS is the larger, evolving platform that now integrates those memory capabilities with new execution and learning engines, all built with the same 'AI-native' philosophy.
For those interested in trying out the memory-only version of AntiGoldfishMode specifically (which is now part of AgentOS's foundation), you can claim a key and find detailed installation instructions by visiting: [antigoldfish.dev]
