Minimal Claude Code alternative. Single Python file, zero dependencies
nanocode is a minimalist coding agent implementation designed as a compact alternative to Claude Code, packaged in a single Python file with no external dependencies and totaling around 250 lines of code. It implements a full agentic loop where the model can reason, decide when to use tools, execute those tools, and iterate until producing a final answer, making it useful for simple AI-assisted coding workflows. It includes a set of integrated tools such as read, write, edit, glob, grep, and...
