Bonsai turns messy coding-agent ideas into ready prompts on Mac
Bonsai is a for shaping instructions before sending them to Claude or another . Ideas are placed on a board as cards, with no required structure at the start. Cards can be connected to show how pieces of work relate to each other.
The board is built as a structured graph, so an agent can read the relationships between cards instead of seeing only a flat note or a folder tree. Typing @ inside a card can pull in live context from a file, folder, open browser tab, Context7, GitHub, Linear, Notion, Sentry, Sigma, or Xcode. That context is fetched when the prompt is copied, so the final prompt includes the current material.
An on-device using Apple’s quietly underlines parts that are too vague for an agent to act on. When the cards are ready, the assembled prompt can be copied into Claude or any other AI tool, with Slack and Jira support planned later.
Key points
- Bonsai is a Mac app for preparing prompts for Claude or other .
- Ideas are written as cards and connected on a visual board.
- The board uses a graph structure so relationships between ideas are part of the prompt context.
- @ connectors can bring in files, folders, , GitHub, Linear, Notion, Sentry, Sigma, Xcode, and Context7.
- A marks vague parts before the finished prompt is copied into an AI tool.
