License / pricing

Not stated

What it does

Wraps Claude Code or Codex in a spec-driven pipeline with quality gates and persistent knowledge, addressing the way unstructured agents skip tests, lose context and vary run to run. Read the licence before assuming it is free software: use requires an active subscription, redistribution and derivative distribution are prohibited, though inspecting the source is expressly allowed and any Output you create is yours to use commercially, in perpetuity.

Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.

pilot-shell FAQ

Is pilot-shell free?: pilot-shell itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
Do I need to install anything or write code to use pilot-shell?: It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
Does pilot-shell work on a phone?: No. It needs a computer.
Can I use pilot-shell commercially?: The project does not state a clear licence, so commercial use cannot be confirmed here. Check the official page or ask the author before using it at work.
