### License: AGPL-3.0 → Apache-2.0
Prism MCP is now Apache-2.0. The thin-client architecture means all proprietary value (skill resolution, tier gating, billing, cloud inference) lives server-side — the open client carries no moat to protect. Apache-2.0 removes the enterprise adoption friction that AGPL caused.

### Pricing — flat-rate, not per-seat

| | **Prism Coder** | GitHub Copilot | Cursor | Amazon Q |
|---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| **Individual** | **$19/mo** | $10/mo | $20/mo | $19/mo |
| **Team (5 devs)** | **$49/mo flat** | $95/mo | $200/mo | $95/mo |
| **Enterprise (25 devs)** | **$99/mo flat** | $195/mo | $1,000/mo | Custom |

## Plans

All on-device models are free to run locally via Ollama on every tier. A subscription gates **cloud** features, higher model ceilings, and increased limits. Local model ceilings are advisory — on-device models run on your Ollama regardless of plan; the ceiling gates cloud inference and `prism_infer` routing.

| | **Free** | **Standard** $19/mo | **Advanced** $49/mo | **Enterprise** $99/mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seats | 1 | 1 | up to 5 | up to 25 |
| Local model ceiling | up to 4b | up to 9b | up to 27b | up to 27b |
| Cloud inference | -- | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ (priority) |
| Cloud Coder (Web IDE) | -- | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ (priority) |
| Cloud search | -- | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Max output tokens | 512 | 1,024 | 2,048 | 4,096 |
| Cloud fallback | -- | Claude Opus 4.7 | Claude Opus 4.7 | Priority + Opus 4.7 |
| Grounding verifier (fact-check AI output) | -- | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Memory sync (cloud) | -- | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Knowledge / session memory | limited | unlimited | unlimited | unlimited |
| Analytics dashboard | -- | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |

# Install in all repos (one-time)
bash hooks/install.sh

---

# Or install manually in a single repo
cp hooks/pre-commit .git/hooks/pre-commit && chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
cp hooks/pre-push .git/hooks/pre-push && chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-push
```

| Hook | What it checks | Mode |
|------|----------------|------|
| `pre-commit` | Dead code, orphan services, scaffold code, missing auth | `PRECOMMIT_MODE=advisory\|block\|off` |
| `pre-push` | 19-rule security audit (SSRF, SQL injection, secrets, IDOR, etc.) | `PREPUSH_MODE=advisory\|block\|off` |

Default mode is `advisory` (warn but allow). Set `*_MODE=block` for hard enforcement. Hooks look for full audit scripts in the repo first (`hooks/lib/`), then `~/.claude/hooks/` fallback, then minimal inline checks.

## Self-hosting (Enterprise)

Run the full model stack on your own hardware — no cloud, full data sovereignty.

**Requirements:** Mac M2 Pro+ (48 GB recommended) or Linux + NVIDIA GPU, plus [Ollama](https://ollama.com).

```bash
ollama pull dcostenco/prism-coder:9b       # default router
export LOCAL_LLM_URL=http://localhost:11434
```

Routing is automatic: `9b → 4b → cloud fallback` on desktop/server, `2b → cloud fallback` on mobile/iPhone. For iOS or another machine on the same network, run `OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0 ollama serve` and point `LOCAL_LLM_URL` at the host's IP.

### Paid (Synalux subscription)

Everything in Free, plus:

| Feature | Details |
|---------|---------|
| Model ceiling | Up to 27B locally + cloud cascade (9B → 27B → Claude) when local is unavailable |
| Skill routing | Portal resolves which skills to load based on your project and prompt |
| Cross-device memory | Supabase cloud sync — sessions survive across machines |
| Grounding verifier | L3 NLI verification on model outputs |
| Team features | Multi-agent Hivemind, workspace collaboration |

The paid tier adds **intelligent routing** — the Synalux portal determines which skills are relevant to your current project and prompt, so your agent gets domain expertise (stripe patterns,
