What we checked ourselves
Not copied from the project's own blurb. These are things we opened and verified, with the date.
- 9 Sept 2026We checked that the link to the project still resolves.
- 14 Aug 2026We read the licence text itself (LICENSE). No unusual restrictions were stated.
- 2 Sept 2026We read the project's own documentation and found no sign that development has stopped.

Counted from our own checks: every tool we list is examined against the same criteria.
What it does
Splits implementation and verification across separate agents on the premise that self-assessment is worthless, then orchestrates the pair through autonomous development cycles. The premise is sound; the limit is that agents from the same family share blind spots, so a human still signs off. Running several agents multiplies the bill per task, which is worth measuring on something small first. MIT.

zeroshot FAQ
- Is zeroshot free?
- zeroshot 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 zeroshot?
- It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
- Does zeroshot work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use zeroshot commercially?
- The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
