The planning pipeline can use cloud models or run with local models so sensitive
project material can remain on systems you control.
PlanExe v2 runs on your own machine and makes its model calls through the
Claude Code CLI, using your Claude subscription.

## Why run PlanExe on your own machine?

## Why run PlanExe on your own infrastructure?
PlanExe v2 is a small Python program that you clone and run yourself. There is
no hosted service and no PlanExe account. Running it locally lets you:

Some project data should not be sent to third-party services. Running PlanExe
with local models can help you:
- Keep every generated plan as files on your own disk
- Edit any intermediate file and regenerate only the work that depends on it
- Resume an interrupted run without repeating the work already finished
- Read the log of every prompt and response behind the report
- Get started with nothing more than Python 3.11 and the Claude Code CLI

- Keep trade secrets, confidential strategies, and sensitive project material
within systems you control
- Work offline or inside an air-gapped environment
- Continue planning when a model provider is unavailable in your country
- Reduce dependence on vendor censorship, changing usage policies, account
restrictions, pricing changes, or service shutdowns
- Choose models that fit your language, values, hardware, and project
- Preserve access to your planning process and editable project files over time
PlanExe v2 sends your project brief and the intermediate planning material to
Anthropic through the Claude Code CLI. Do not use it for material that must not
leave systems you control.

Self-hosting does not remove your legal, ethical, security, or professional
responsibilities. It gives you greater control over the models, infrastructure,
and information involved.
Running PlanExe yourself does not remove your legal, ethical, security, or
professional responsibilities.
