Plan, then execute
For non-trivial work, Anode drafts a plan first. You approve, it executes, you cancel with one slash command.
What's inside
Bring any model
Anthropic, OpenAI, Z.ai, Gemini, Groq, DeepSeek, Mistral, xAI, Ollama, OpenRouter, Bedrock, Azure - one consistent harness, your key.
Right model, right job
craft for coding, quick for small tasks,
study for architecture, review read-only,
oracle for second opinions.
Auto-compacting context
Anode summarizes older turns at 85% of the window while preserving your goal, edits, and recent errors. The last 20k tokens stay intact.
Permissions you control
unrestricted, careful, or strict
presets, plus per-tool rules that allow or reject specific commands.
Change ledger built in
Every file Anode touches is tracked with diffs, hashes, and risk levels. Review, commit, or revert from the TUI.
Extensible by design
Add MCP servers, toolbox executables, process plugins, and reusable
skills. Drop an AGENTS.md in your repo for project rules.
TUI or headless
One binary runs an interactive Bubble Tea TUI, a one-shot CLI for scripts, or a streaming JSON event source for CI and the daemon.
Subagents on tap
Spawn focused child agents with their own context, or consult an oracle model for a second opinion - read-only by default.
Ready in 60 seconds.
Install the binary, set your API key, run anode in any repo.
