Read the full description
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.
