Your agents. Your environment.

Minion Code,inside Glueprint.

An enhanced AI code assistant built on the Minion framework with rich development tools. Glueprint runs Minion Code over the Agent Client Protocol it already speaks — adding live sessions on every device, approvals from your phone, parallel worktrees, schedules, and memory.

Your provider account. Your code. A workspace to bring them together.

AG-401The integration01 / 05

Your chosen agent.A shared workspace.

Minion Code is an AI code assistant built on the Minion framework and pre-configured for development tasks. It bundles more than 12 built-in tools spanning file operations, system command execution, and web search, and adds MCP tool loading, conversation history, and built-in security checks for dangerous operations. Written entirely in Python, it exposes a CLI, an async/sync programming API, and stdio protocol servers with documented Zed editor integration. Models are user-configurable. It is licensed under AGPL-3.0.

An enhanced AI code assistant built on the Minion framework with rich development tools.

Minion Code connects over the open Agent Client Protocol. One generic adapter implements the protocol's client side, so Minion Code gets the same surfaces as every other harness.

Everything below works with the Minion Code CLI you have today — no migration, no new account for the model, no lock-in. Uninstall Glueprint and your terminal workflow is exactly as it was.

Python developers wanting a configurable, tool-rich open-source code agent.

AG-402Install & connect02 / 05

Make it part ofyour next project.

Set up the integration on each machine where the agent will run.

  1. 01

    Open the ACP catalog

    On each execution host, open Settings -> Agents -> Browse ACP catalog and choose Minion Code.

  2. 02

    Install and initialize

    Glueprint installs the registry distribution for Minion Code, starts it, and completes the ACP initialize handshake.

  3. 03

    Start a project session

    Choose Minion Code from a project or worktree and use the capabilities reported by that installed build.

The process stays on its host. Remote access follows your Glueprint plan and the capabilities of the installed agent.

AG-403How it works03 / 05

A direct connection.A shared view of the work.

Glueprint adds the workspace around the agent. Its provider account and configuration stay with the CLI.

  1. 01

    Glueprint spawns Minion Code, not a fork

    Glueprint finds the Minion Code binary you installed and spawns it, then speaks the Agent Client Protocol — JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio — to drive it. Same CLI, same authentication; Glueprint just wraps the session.

  2. 02

    Output streams as structure

    Message chunks, tool calls, and tool-call updates from Minion Code arrive as protocol notifications and render as the same live, typed timeline every Glueprint session gets — watchable from desktop, browser, or phone.

  3. 03

    Permission requests become approval cards

    When Minion Code asks to write a file or run a command, the protocol's permission request surfaces as an inline approval card on whatever device you're holding. Approve, deny, or auto-allow per tool.

  4. 04

    One adapter, the whole fleet

    Because Minion Code speaks ACP, adding it is a catalog entry, not an engineering project — the same adapter runs every other agent in the registry, so you can tile them side by side.

Credentials and model access follow the provider. Glueprint brings the surrounding work into one place.

Glueprint surface

Live sessions on every surface

Watch every Minion Code prompt, tool call, and diff stream in real time — desktop, web portal, iOS and Android. The session runs on your machine; the view follows you.

Glueprint surface

Approve from your phone

Permission prompts arrive as approval cards wherever you are. Kick off a refactor at your desk, approve the file writes from the couch.

Glueprint surface

Parallel sessions across worktrees

Run several Minion Code sessions side by side, each in its own git worktree, with diffs, history, and a three-pane conflict resolver alongside.

Glueprint surface

Mix harnesses in one mosaic

Tile Minion Code next to Claude Code, Codex, and the rest of the ACP fleet in the Command Center. The protocol differs; the surface doesn't.

Persistent assistants

Promote it to an assistant: persona, constitution, long-term memory, and a daily journal on disk, loaded into every wake.

Routines on a schedule

Wake it on cron: triage the inbox every 30 minutes, sweep PRs at 9am, run the nightly cleanup. Quiet hours and watermarks prevent re-fires.

AG-406A few useful answersNotes

Before youstart building.

Q.01Can I run Minion Code with Glueprint?

Yes. Minion Code is registered in the official Agent Client Protocol registry, and Glueprint implements the protocol's client side. It spawns the Minion Code CLI you already installed and drives it over JSON-RPC 2.0 — adding live sessions, inline approvals, worktrees, and remote control.

Q.02Do I need a separate Minion Code subscription or API key?

No. Glueprint doesn't resell model access. Minion Code authenticates exactly the way its vendor designed — its own login, subscription, or API key. Glueprint spawns the binary and speaks the protocol; it doesn't sit between you and the model provider.

Q.03Can I run Minion Code from my phone?

Sessions always run on your machines — a laptop, a desktop, or a server with the headless daemon. The iOS and Android app streams Minion Code sessions live, lets you send follow-ups, and handles permission approvals from anywhere.

Q.04Can I run Minion Code next to Claude Code and Codex?

Yes — that's the point. Each harness is an adapter; sessions from all of them tile into the same Command Center, share the same task boards, and roll up in the same per-harness analytics.

Q.05Is my session content private?

Yes. Remote viewing routes AES-256-GCM-encrypted envelopes through the relay, which stores a wrapped key it cannot open — decryption happens on your devices. On the free local tier, session content never leaves your machine at all. See security.
