49 tools with one test-enforced contract.

Install it - or let your AI install it.
Our favorite way: paste one prompt and your AI does the rest. The prompt below keeps verification and host registration explicit.
Install Programmer-Wander v2.0.0-rc.1 from the official AIWander GitHub prerelease. Detect Windows x64 versus ARM64, verify the ZIP against SHA256SUMS, verify programmer.exe has a valid Joseph Wander Authenticode signature, then show me the exact host config and backup path before registering it. Do not restart any host until I confirm.
Choose the exact signed v2.0.0-rc.1 x64 or ARM64 ZIP and verify it before extraction.
programmer.exe install --target claude-desktop - or claude-code, lm-studio, all.
Restart the host, then ask: What can the programmer server do? The bundled skills teach it everything.
Skills that make your AI good at it. Guard hooks that keep it safe.
Six skills (orientation, full toolmap, dev loop, background ops, sessions, and safe ops) plus opt-in guard hooks that block destructive commands and audit every decision - inert until you review and render them yourself.

Step away from the keyboard. Keep the AI attached.
Programmer works fully on its own. Add the separate free Voice-Command companion when you want local headset input and spoken output. Voice requires your microphone permission and its own setup. Web or mobile AI use still needs an authenticated remote connector back to the Windows host.

Manager: your whole AI bench, one dashboard. Beta - Coming Soon.
- Delegate work to Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Grok Build CLI from one place
- One live dashboard for both products - it detects your Programmer install automatically

Programmer stays free either way. No price is published for Manager and there is no checkout, so nothing here is an offer to sell. Voice remains a separate free option.
