If you're looking for a coding agent that would fit nicely into resource-constrained environments (such as laptops, or tiny VPS servers, or tiny single-board computers, etc), and would also work great with local models - you might also like hax (https://usehax.dev/). 0.7 MB dynamically linked native C binary, few MBs of RAM usage when running, auto-discovers config from running local llama-server, and uses minimalist system prompt and tools for lean context usage.

ive looked at your project before but forgot about it. I think mine is in a similar vein: https://github.com/mischief/clm

it grew out of annoyance of dependencies on js runtimes, probably similar to you. mine additionally works on solaris and esp32.

could be interesting to collaborate!

		I'm using fourlexboehm's minimal agent[1], it's only 674 lines of C (with comments), which results in a tiny ~10KB binary (after various optimizations). Dynamically linked, with only libcurl and libc as direct dependencies. Could probably shave a couple of KBs further if I UPX'd it. If anyone's aware of a smaller agent than this, hit me up!
