Model Citizen
Control plane for coding agents with rules, skills, roles and cost tracking
Visit model-citizen.dev ↗What is Model Citizen?
Model Citizen is an open-source control plane that sits beneath Claude Code and Codex to manage how coding agents operate. It lets you define rules, skills, roles, and stances once, then projects them into your agents with custom primitives. The system enforces guardrails through hooks, tracks what each session did and cost, and keeps an ownership journal so changes are reversible.
Designed for developers running coding agents, Model Citizen provides graded shell commands, secrets detection, fresh-context review, and sandboxing. Settings sync across runtimes, and everything runs locally—nothing is hosted. The maker built it with Claude Code.
