- type
- Terminal CLI agent
- interface
- CLI (also usable as a Zed IDE panel and headless in CI via the Agent Client Protocol)
- openSource
- Yes (Apache-2.0)
- lineage
- Built on the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) rather than a bespoke wire format, giving one 13MB Rust binary three access surfaces (terminal TUI, Zed IDE panel, headless CI); seven specialized sub-agents (coder, explorer, planner, reviewer, web researcher, verification, general-purpose) with pipeline and parallel execution; supports Claude Code plugins and skills as an input format without being a wrapper around the Claude Code binary
- note
- Repo created 2026-03-20, predating this lens's window; surfaced via a Show HN post 2026-07-30. Small project (134 stars) that its own README describes as 99% AI-generated via DeepSeek and GLM-5.2; early-stage, low-adoption
