>log in to commentIn the first five minutes you can add a rule like “no any in exported types” and see it block a commit instantly. I built Taskless to give agents deterministic, test‑driven checks that run on every commit, PR, or IDE action without any AI model at runtime. It works locally with no signup and also scales to cloud for complex rules. Let me know what works and what could be smoother 😊
- Enforce rules on every commit, PR, IDE, and run
- Deterministic checks with no model in the loop
- Supports 25+ programming languages
- Generate rules locally with no signup required
- CLI installs via npx @taskless/cli
Taskless generates deterministic enforcement rules for AI coding agents from your corrections.

Key features
- Rule Generation — Creates enforcement rules from natural-language corrections or commit history.
- Deterministic Checks — Each rule produces the same pass/fail result on every run.
- Built-in Test Fixtures — Every rule ships with pass/fail fixtures to prove its behavior.
- Local Open-Source CLI — Run rule generation and enforcement locally with no account required.
- Taskless Cloud — Scales rule enforcement with GitHub integration, runtime rules, and governance features.
- Multi-language Support — Supports 25+ programming languages and prose files.
Use cases
- Enforce type-safety conventions (e.g., no any in exported types) across all PRs.
- Automatically apply team-defined coding standards in CI pipelines.
- Generate deterministic checks for prose or documentation standards.

- Taskless vs Cursor: Cursor is an AI-powered editor, while Taskless focuses on deterministic rule enforcement.
- Taskless vs Augment Code: Augment Code provides deep codebase context for agents, but does not generate deterministic rules.
- Taskless vs Continue.dev: Continue.dev offers IDE checks and AI assistance, lacking Taskless's rule-as-code approach.
- Taskless vs OpenCode: OpenCode is an open-source terminal agent; Taskless adds rule generation and enforcement on top of agents.
Taskless FAQ
Is Taskless free?+
Yes. The CLI is open source and free, and Taskless Cloud is free for individuals and small teams with usage caps.
Is this another AI code reviewer?+
No. Taskless creates deterministic rules from your corrections, not AI-generated reviews that can vary between runs.
How does Taskless learn from my corrections?+
Tag @taskless on a PR or issue, use the dashboard, or create rules from your IDE; Taskless turns the correction into a rule using the appropriate analysis method.
What if a rule is wrong or needs updating?+
You own the rules; you can ask Taskless to revise them or edit them directly in your codebase.
Do I need to change my workflow?+
No. Once a rule is added, Taskless runs in the background like any other CI step without requiring new processes.
Does Taskless see my code?+
Only when you explicitly request it, such as tagging @taskless on a PR; otherwise it does not access your code.
