Dropstone CLI is a self-learning terminal coding agent for developers who are tired of re-explaining project rules to a fresh AI every session. Made by Blankline and launched on Product Hunt on October 12, 2026, it reads your repo, edits files, runs tests and remembers your corrections across sessions.
Core Features
- Persistent memory: correct it once and the lesson carries into later sessions, stored as always/never rules or recalled facts.
- Plan and Build modes toggled with Tab; Plan only reads and proposes, Build asks before each edit or command.
- Three proprietary models, Fast 1.8, Pro 1.8 and Heavy 1.8, mapped to daily edits, multi-file refactors and long-horizon architecture work.
- Per-command permissions (allow, ask, deny) such as blocking 'rm *', plus parallel subagents, SKILL.md files and MCP tools.
- GitHub and GitLab integration: comment '/dropstone fix this' on an issue and it opens a pull request via your runner.
Use Cases
- Solo developers who want a teammate that retains house style instead of a new intern each morning.
- Teams standardizing conventions through a committable AGENTS.md generated by /init.
- CI and headless pipelines via the typed Node SDK, OpenAPI endpoint and SSH token login.
Pricing
Free includes the CLI, Fast and Pro models, memory and three projects. Paid tiers are Lite at $5 per month, Pro at $15 per month (adds Heavy and a larger context window) and Max from $75 to $150 per month for priority routing; Enterprise adds SSO.
Our Take
Best for engineers who value persistent, auditable memory over raw model power; the trade-off is that the benchmarks for its in-house models are vendor-reported. See related options in our AI coding tools category.
