Your agent's second pair of eyes. Know before you ship.

Local software intelligence that catches what the agent missed. Prism gives your coding agent the right files before it edits, then flags the code it skipped and the code no test covers. Free, MIT, and it runs on your machine: no account, and your code never leaves it.

Get started

npm install -g @prismapp/cli && prism install all

Run the second command inside your repository. prism install all connects every agent it finds. Quit the agent and open it again. The first use builds the index under ~/.prism/. One agent only: pass its name to prism install. The install records what it wrote in ~/.prism/install.json, and prism uninstall removes exactly that. A new version is npm install -g @prismapp/cli then prism upgrade. Memories, receipts, and habits stay.

Wiring another MCP host by hand? Use this server entry:

{ "mcpServers": { "prism": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@prismapp/mcp-server"], "env": { "PRISM_EXTRA_TOOLS": "receipt" } } } }

Then ask your agent in plain language, for example "what breaks if I change src/index.ts?" or "review my changes". You never type tool names.

What it does

• Prepare, before the agent edits. The files and tests that matter for the task, and the helpers to reuse instead of rewriting.
• Match the code, during the edit. Prism points at a file from your repo to copy, so the new code looks like the rest.
• Lens review, after. Dev, Architect and QA lenses flag the callers the change left behind and the code no test covers. Add your own with prism lens.
• The receipt, when the agent stops. Prism runs the checks the change reaches and gives one verdict: SHIP, NOT PROVEN (with the cheapest check to prove it) or NO-SHIP.

Nine default MCP tools; more are opt-in through extraTools in ~/.prism/config.json. Full list: MCP tools.

CLI

Every command answers from the same local index. Highlights:

Privacy

Analysis makes no network requests; a trap test suite fails the build if one appears. The only request Prism makes is a once-a-day update check against the npm registry, which never relaunches anything and is off with PRISM_SKIP_SELF_UPDATE=1. → PRIVACY.md · SECURITY.md
