**Stay sharp while your AI does the work.**

devcoach connects to Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI *(beta)*, Codex CLI *(beta)*, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible tools. After every task you complete, it delivers a short targeted lesson calibrated to what you already know — no generic tutorials, no repeated topics, nothing to open.

Everything runs **locally**. No data leaves your machine. One SQLite file at `~/.devcoach/coaching.db`.

Built on the official [Model Context Protocol TypeScript SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk), Node's embedded `node:sqlite`, [Hono](https://hono.dev) (web dashboard), and [Commander](https://github.com/tj/commander.js) (CLI). Requires **Node.js ≥ 24**.
