CodeAgent

AI coding agent CLI, built on VS Code architecture with multi-provider LLM support and Cursor-compatible skills.

Features

• Multi-mode: Agent (full autonomy), Plan (implementation planning), Ask (read-only Q&A)
• Multi-provider: OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible API (DeepSeek, etc.)
• YAML config with profiles: No more juggling environment variables
• Cursor-compatible Skills: Load SKILL.md and .mdc rules to extend agent capabilities
• Streaming output: Real-time token display
• Parallel agents: Run multiple tasks concurrently
• Single-file distribution: 70 KB minified, zero runtime dependencies
