Philosophy

JP is built to be provider-agnostic, your workflow shouldn't be coupled to any single LLM backend; private and secure by default, with no implicit network access or silent tool execution; a proper Unix citizen, a single static binary that composes with pipes, respects your shell, and stays out of your way; extensible through sandboxed plugins and configurable where it matters; open-source and independent, funded without VC money, no allegiance to any LLM provider, just software that serves its users.
