Dugout

A place for every tool's setup

A local-first desktop app that keeps your project's setup and context consistent across AI coding tools, so switching tools or picking a project back up doesn't mean starting over.

The foundation: every tool's setup, hung where you can see it

  • MCP servers
  • Skills
  • Rules
  • Hooks
  • Subagents
  • Plugins

Built on Loadout, an open-source project by Julien Berthomier (MIT).

Across the tools you already use

The foundation finds and manages MCP servers, skills, rules, hooks, subagents and plugins for each of these tools, in one place. That part comes from Loadout.

What Dugout adds

On top of that foundation, Dugout keeps a project's working context with the project, so any tool, or you next week, can pick up where things left off.

  • WorkspacesProject workspaces stored in the repo, next to the code.
  • CheckpointsSave where a project stands and come back to it.
  • Resumable contextPick work back up without re-explaining it.
  • ProfilesSwitch between sets of configuration.
  • Agent handoffsManaged hand-offs from one agent or tool to another.
  • Git safetyGuard rails around the repository while agents work.
  • File syncKeep configuration in step through plain files.
  • CLIThe core operations from the command line.

Dugout or Sproutle?

Dugout keeps your setup and context consistent: configuration and memory across tools, checkpoints, handoffs.

Sproutle runs the work: pipelines, terminal sessions, launchers. See Sproutle

In development

Dugout is under active development and isn't ready for production use yet. If keeping AI tools in step is a problem you have, I'd like to hear how you handle it today.
