KnightCode
Open-source terminal coding agent, any model, tiny prompt
KnightCode is an open-source coding agent for the terminal. Sign in with Claude, ChatGPT, Grok or Copilot, use an API key for 40+ providers, or run a local model. Every file read, edit and command shows up in the transcript. Sessions are a tree you can branch, fork and compact. Extensions, skills and themes live next to your repo. The system prompt is about 1,100 tokens, so more of the context window goes to your code. MIT licensed.
Hey Product Hunt, I'm Raghav, the maker of KnightCode.
I wanted a coding agent that stays out of the way: runs in my terminal, uses the model accounts I already pay for, and doesn't spend thousands of tokens on its own system prompt before reading a single file. KnightCode's prompt is about 1,100 tokens; the rest of the context goes to your code.
What you get:
- Sign in with Claude, ChatGPT, Grok or Copilot, or use an API key for 40+ providers, or a local model
- Every read, edit and shell command visible in the transcript
- Sessions as a tree: branch, fork, compact
- Extensions, skills and themes in TypeScript/JSON
Install: npm install -g @knightcodeai/cli
It's MIT licensed and I read every issue. Tell me what breaks and what you'd want next.
