frites

french fries, nothing better, full stop

frites: a coordinating ensemble proxy for Claude Code & Codex.

Point your Claude Code or Codex at frites and go. Every prompt is answered by a council of agents instead of one. frites fans the prompt out to multiple models, has them work independently, then synthesizes a single vetted answer, using the subscriptions you're already logged into (no API keys). It decides per-prompt whether fanning out is even worth the spend. The bet is that a cross-checked council yields better output than any single agent; the cost is latency and metered spend (see the tradeoff).

Two ways to use it

• Gateway mode (transparent proxy). Zero friction: run it once and every prompt goes through the council. It handles Q&A, reasoning, and code edits by emitting the tool calls your host runs.

• MCP worktree mode. For when you want N competing full implementations run in isolated git worktrees, with your test suite picking the winner, yielding one vetted diff to apply.
