Can I vibecode Aight?

// buildable in a weekend, but real gaps stay open

A focused multi-backend iPhone prototype is a realistic multi-day build when a local companion normalizes each agent protocol, but hardening all four adapters plus Aight's hosted relay, voice, orchestration, sync, and App Store polish is multi-week product work.

confidence: high

what it is: Native iOS and macOS control surface for self-hosted AI agents and coding CLIs

It is not close. The prompt below rebuilds a piece, not the product.

Gioco editoriale: il verdetto dice se un agente può, l’indice se conviene.

What you build

Build one SwiftUI client and a local adapter service that can start, resume, stream, interrupt, and approve work across Codex, Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Hermes.

what you need

  • Mac with Xcode
  • iPhone running iOS 18
  • Node.js 22
  • at least one supported agent installed
  • Apple ID for device signing
  • credentials for each enabled agent
  • Tailscale on both devices

The shared mobile control loop is buildable; maintaining four adapters and the polished remote experience is the hard part.

The prompt

A weekend with a coding agent. The gaps that stay are right below, under “what you lose”.

One-shot prompt EN
Build me a local-first iPhone client for Codex, Claude Code, OpenClaw,
and Hermes. Requirements:

- Use Swift 6, SwiftUI, and iOS 18. Generate Xcode from a checked-in
  XcodeGen project.yml so `xcodegen && xcodebuild` works on a clean clone.
- Build the Node.js 22 TypeScript companion with Fastify and WebSockets. Expose
  start, resume, prompt, event, approval, interrupt, and capability operations;
  session listing is optional and capability-gated.
- Ship real adapters for all four. Disable unavailable agents at runtime; all
  adapters must compile and pass fixture tests without every agent installed.
- Codex: pin the CLI version, run `codex app-server generate-ts`, and supervise
  app-server over stdio using the generated v2 types.
- Claude Code: use `@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk`, its session APIs,
  async-iterable input for interrupt(), and canUseTool for permissions.
- OpenClaw: use the official Gateway WebSocket client, pair once, request only
  read/write/approvals/questions scopes, and store its device token securely.
- Hermes: use /v1/runs and its event, approval, and stop endpoints; use
  session headers for continuity and discover features from /v1/capabilities.
- Keep backend models in the companion and expose one versioned protocol. The
  iOS app stores its wss:// endpoint and bridge bearer token in Keychain.
- Provide backend/session pickers, streamed Markdown and tool events, approval
  cards, Stop, capability-aware controls, and deny approvals on disconnect.
- Bind to 127.0.0.1 and compare the random `.env` token in constant time;
  expose it only through private Tailscale Serve HTTPS, and never enable Funnel.
- Add bounded reconnects and local completion notifications. No app accounts,
  cloud database, analytics, or telemetry; agent model-provider calls remain.
- Out of scope: hosted relay, voice, cross-backend groups, templates, community
  skills, themes, multi-device sync, and a macOS client.
- Test adapter fixtures plus denial, interruption, and reconnection. README:
  setup for all four, `.env.example`, Tailscale, signing, permissions, limits.

Curated prompt: written and reviewed by hand for this app. In English on purpose — it is the language coding agents work best in.

What you lose

  • managed encrypted relay and push notifications
  • voice mode with local speech models
  • cross-agent teams and group-chat orchestration
  • pre-built agent/team templates and community skill browsing
  • multi-device sync and App Store polish

Why people still pay

They pay for one polished client that safely reaches several agent backends from anywhere, keeps sessions in sync, and handles notifications, voice, and approvals without maintaining a custom mobile integration.
