Awesome Cli Coding Agents

The agent that grows with you

🙌 OpenHands: AI-Driven Development

An open-source long-horizon SuperAgent harness that researches, codes, and creates. With the help of sandboxes, memories, tools, skill, subagents and message gateway, it handles different levels of tasks that could take minutes to hours.

Compress tool outputs, logs, files, and RAG chunks before they reach the LLM. 20% fewer tokens for coding agents, 60-95% fewer tokens for JSON, same answers. Library, proxy, MCP server.

Open-source, community-driven agent harness

A reliable coding agent for complex software engineering tasks.
