GitHub - sebastiancarlos/faaah: FAAAH (Filesystem As An AI Handler) - Reuse your AI Agent subscription via text files.

Why it matters

A GitHub user going by sebastiancarlos has released FAAAH, a deliberately minimal Python proxy that turns an existing AI coding-agent subscription into a local server speaking the OpenAI-compatible API format. Instead of calling cloud model APIs directly, applications send requests to FAAAH, which writes them as plain text files into a queue directory; a coding agent such as Claude Code or opencode reads those files and writes response files back, which FAAAH then wraps into standard JSON replies. The tool has no external dependencies, follows a Unix-style everything-is-a-file design, and works with any client that expects the OpenAI API shape, including popular frameworks and SDKs. It also includes a human-in-the-loop fallback: if the agent stalls or hits usage limits, a person can simply type an answer into the response file. The author argues that local, non-commercial use does not violate provider terms of service, while acknowledging that some providers might interpret ambiguous policies aggressively and monitor for infractions. The project is offered under an MIT license.
