Why we included this project

Dao Code is a terminal coding agent that reads and writes code, runs commands, and fixes bugs, streaming its reasoning and tool calls behind an approval gate until the task is done. Its main draw is cost: it targets DeepSeek V4 and keeps the system prefix, tool table, and memory byte-stable so cross-session memory and a self-correction layer reuse DeepSeek's cheap prefix cache instead of adding fresh token spend. That makes it a practical pick for developers and small teams who want a Claude Code-style workflow without the per-task price, and for users in mainland China it sidesteps the extra accounts and network workarounds other agents need. It also supports Skills, MCP, and Hooks and reads Claude Code configuration, so teams already on that tooling can switch over quickly. The project publishes measured cache-hit and cost figures from real open-source bug-fix tasks, giving you something concrete to check before adopting it.
