Pocketenv features

  • Multi-provider sandbox support. Run environments on Cloudflare, Deno, Vercel, Daytona, Modal, E2B and more via a single interface.
  • Instant disposable environments. Spin up isolated dev environments in seconds that are automatically destroyed when done.
  • Git repository loading. Clone and work with any Git repo directly inside the sandbox.
  • Secure port and service exposure. Expose ports and services safely without exposing your host network.
  • Browser-based VS Code. Launch a full VS Code instance in the browser from within the sandbox.
  • Reproducible environment sharing. Create shareable links that reproduce the exact sandbox state for collaborators.
  • Point-in-time backups. Rollback a sandbox to a previous state using built-in backup snapshots.
  • CLI installation. Install Pocketenv via a single curl command for quick local access.

Sage features

  • Critique cards. Generates structured verdicts, alternatives and ready-to-paste messages for each agent response.
  • Plan-level review. Analyzes the agent’s proposed plan before any code is written to catch design flaws early.
  • Model council. Runs a Codex-based reviewer and will later combine multiple models (Claude, Gemini, Grok) for cross-checking.
  • Tool-enabled critiques. Can search the web, inspect the codebase and make tool calls during reviews.
  • Terminal UI. Provides an interactive Ink-based interface that runs alongside Claude Code.
  • Hooks integration. Automatically configures Claude Code hooks to monitor session events and trigger reviews.
