cc-mini

Why we included this project

cc-mini is a terminal-based coding agent that rebuilds the core Claude Code loop in roughly a thousand lines of Python. If a full agent product feels too opaque to tinker with, that small footprint is the appeal: the tool loop, plan mode, permission checks, and session resume are all present, just without the surrounding bulk. It talks to both Anthropic and OpenAI-compatible API endpoints, so it fits whatever models your team already pays for. Slash commands and project-specific custom skills make it easy to wire workflows like review, commit, and test to a repo's own conventions. Teams unsure whether Claude Code suits their flow, or wanting a self-hosted base they can fork and shape, get an inspectable starting point they can actually own.
