Write the style guide once as a skill. Stop pasting it.
Put your editorial method in a skill inside the project. It loads only when the work needs it, picking one from the plus menu keeps the text you already typed, and every edit to your copy is a version.
What changes
Now
The style checklist lives in your clipboard, and each new prompt starts with the same paragraph of rules you pasted last time.
With Bandicot
The method sits in the project as a skill and the agent applies it to the files in front of it. You read the edit, accept or put back, and nothing publishes itself.
What it takes to begin
No pasting the style checklist into each new prompt.
A Mac
Bandicot is a Mac app. The work happens in your folders, on your machine.
A folder
Keep files, context, plans and decisions with the project instead of losing them in a disposable chat.
editorial-method/A model
A local model, an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or a hosted provider you sign in to. The provider bills you directly.
Free
For one person on your Mac. Every plan has every capability.
How the work gets done
Free Bandicot core
The free plan has every capability for one profile. Bring a provider key, a local model, or both; a provider's own bill stays yours.
A trusted harness around the model
Bandicot gives every agent a project, tools, a session that survives restarts, approvals, and a clear place to stop.
Projects that hold the work
Keep files, context, plans, and decisions with the project instead of losing them in a disposable chat.
Durable work sessions
Close the window, restart, or pick up from another of your Macs without turning the work into a brand-new conversation.
Read this before you start
Made for
Editors who review agent suggestions before accepting copy.
Content editors reviewing recurring file-based editorial work
Not yet for
People seeking an unattended content publishing service.
What a session leaves behind
Skills hold your method and load only when used, and Versions keeps recording files it already holds even when an ignore rule matches.
