Pilot Shell

Pilot Shell is a context and harness engineering system for Claude Code and Codex CLI. It wraps the coding model in a structured process covering requirements, planning, implementation and verification, so work moves from a request to tested code under rules the developer has approved. It is built for professional developers who already use Claude Code or Codex and want more discipline around them. The site describes six layers: context engineering that loads only relevant material, spec driven delivery where a plan is approved before code is written, enforced quality gates that run lint, type checks and tests as hooks on every edit, independent verification including browser proof, stateful delivery with memory that survives compaction, and a browser Console that shows plans, diffs, evidence and usage. Workflow commands include /prd for brainstorming a product requirements document and /spec for planning and building. It bundles rules, hooks, language servers and several MCP servers. Installation is a shell script for macOS, Linux and Windows through WSL2, and it works with existing projects. Source is on GitHub. The Solo plan costs $14 per month for one developer and includes cross machine skill sync. The Team plan costs $35 per seat per month and adds extension and memory sharing, customization of built in skills and rules, seat management and priority support.
