openclaude

Why we included this project

OpenClaude is a coding agent that lives in the terminal and covers the routine parts of software work: reading and editing files, running shell commands, searching a codebase, and talking to MCP servers, all from one CLI. Its main draw is provider portability. The same prompts, tools, agents, and slash commands work against OpenAI-compatible APIs, Gemini, GitHub Models, Codex, and local runtimes like Ollama, so you can swap backends without relearning your workflow. That suits developers and small teams who want a coding agent that isn't locked to one vendor's API, whether they are comparing cloud models or moving work onto local hardware. Guided provider setup and saved profiles make it easier to wire up a new model, which helps when you are evaluating options or standardizing tooling across a team.
