Bobbin: Pentest with a local LLM, so target data never leaves your machine
SMRTR summary
Bobbin is a dependency-free local coding agent built for small models (7B–32B) running via Ollama, using only Python's standard library. It tackles the specific ways small models fail in agent loops — looping forever, missing multi-file edits, emitting tool calls as prose — through environment and tooling fixes rather than prompt engineering. Benchmarked against aider across 450+ runs, it achieves parity on real code with a measurable edge on multi-file refactors.
