cordy 0.1.6

English · Русский

Hot-swap any model or provider mid-conversation. Edit files behind a permission gate. MCP, skills, sub-agents, and background jobs — in one fast, keyboard-driven TUI.

Cordy is a cross-platform terminal agent that talks to every major API family — OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, Anthropic Messages, and the OpenAI Responses API — through one canonical model, so switching provider or model never loses your conversation. It edits files with an exact, diff-confirmed edit, runs a builtin toolset whose command output is compressed by a native token optimizer, and speaks the Model Context Protocol.

• Hot-swap models & providers mid-conversation — start on a local model, finish on a frontier one, context intact. ^P → pick a model, or /connect to add a provider.
• Every API family — OpenAI Chat, OpenAI-compatible (Ollama / vLLM / OpenRouter / Groq / …), Anthropic Messages, OpenAI Responses. Wire formats never leak past the adapter.
• Builtin tools — read write edit multiedit grep glob ls bash todo web_search web_fetch process rewind, all behind a permission gate you can pre-approve with globs.
• Background jobs — run a dev server with bash background:true, then process to poll, wait on a regex, or kill the whole process tree.
• MCP, skills, sub-agents — connect MCP servers, load progressive-disclosure skills, and delegate work to isolated sub-agents via the task tool.
• Free web search — DuckDuckGo out of the box (no key), or Exa when EXA_API_KEY is set.
• Live cost & context HUD — tokens, $ cost, optimizer savings, context fill, background jobs and sub-agents in a side panel.
• OpenCode-inspired UI — command palette, prompt history, multiline input, sessions, a provider manager, eight themes, and full config hot-reload.

Linux / macOS

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/redstone-md/Cordy/main/install.sh | sh

The scripts download the signed binary for your platform, verify its checksum, and drop cordy on your PATH.

With cargo — cargo install cordy

Prebuilt binaries — or grab the archive for your platform from the latest release, unpack, and run cordy.

From source (Rust 1.88+) — the default build is full-featured (MCP included):

git clone https://github.com/redstone-md/Cordy.git
cd Cordy
cargo build --release
# binary at target/release/cordy

Want a leaner binary without the MCP client? cargo build --release --no-default-features.

Point Cordy at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint via environment variables, then run it:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
export CORDY_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1   # or any compatible endpoint
export CORDY_MODEL=gpt-4o-mini
cordy

…or skip the env vars and press ^P → /connect inside the app to add a provider through the wizard. Providers you connect are saved to ~/.cordy/config.toml, and the last one is restored on launch. All user state — config, keys, sessions, cache — lives under ~/.cordy.

Slash commands include /connect /providers /model /sessions /permissions /mouse /thinking /compact /goal /ralph and more — type / to autocomplete.

~/.cordy/config.toml (merged with a project-level .cordy/config.toml). It is hot-reloaded — edits apply within a second, no restart. Secrets never live here; API keys go in the OS env or ~/.cordy/keys.json (written by /connect).
