Code Assistant
stippi/code-assistant
An open-source AI coding agent, written in Rust, with a native GUI, a terminal mode, and integrations for editors and MCP clients. It runs an autonomous agent loop over your codebase — reading, searching, editing files, and running commands — while keeping you in the loop about what it is actually doing.

Features
Multiple LLM providers: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, Ollama, OpenRouter, SAP AI Core, Groq, Cerebras, Mistral, and more.
Four ways to work: a native GUI (built on Zed's GPUI), a terminal mode, a headless MCP server, and an ACP agent for editors like Zed.
Adaptive tool syntax: native function calling, XML tags, or triple-caret blocks — chosen per session to fit the model.
Real-time streaming with smart filtering that blocks unsafe tool combinations (e.g. editing a file before reading it).
Sessions per project with branching, persistent state, and draft messages with attachments.
Sub-agents, permission tiers, a command sandbox, and automatic context compaction when the window fills up.
MCP client mode: plug in external Model Context Protocol servers and use their tools.
Browser sessions: the agent drives a real browser (navigate, read, click, type) to test web apps, with a human-in-the-loop login handoff so it acts as you without ever seeing your credentials.
Skills: reusable, task-specific playbooks the agent can load on demand.
Auto-loaded guidance: picks up AGENTS.md (or CLAUDE.md) from your project root to align with repo-specific instructions.
