agentty

Why we included this project

Most terminal coding agents are Node or Python apps that drag a runtime along with them. agentty is a single native binary with a cold start measured in milliseconds, so there is no install step beyond downloading and running it. It works as a drop-in Claude Code replacement but stays vendor-neutral: sign in with Claude, or point it at OpenAI, Groq, DeepSeek, Gemini, or a fully local Ollama model, and switch providers mid-session. Instead of feeding your whole repository to the model, it retrieves only the relevant code using a local hybrid BM25 and embeddings engine with code-aware chunking, which keeps context small and token costs down. Shell and build commands run sandboxed by default, and an air-gapped mode lets you relay a session over SSH from a machine with no internet.
