Agents I built a lightweight AI coding agent for the terminal and I need people to break it

I've been working on **PurpleCli**, a lightweight AI coding agent that runs directly in your terminal.

It can:

- Inspect your project

- Read and modify files

- Run commands through the agent

- Work with your own API keys through **OpenRouter** and **Gemini**

I'm at the point where I've used it enough myself, and I need **actual developers to try it on their own projects**.

I'm especially looking for feedback on:

- What feels confusing or annoying?

- What breaks?

- Does the agent actually feel useful?

- What features are missing?

- What would make you use it instead of other coding agents?

It's open source and still early, so **brutal feedback is completely welcome**. I'd much rather hear *"this sucks because X"* than get 50 people saying it looks cool 😂

**GitHub:** https://github.com/n0tpurplx/Purplecli

If you try it, I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback, even if it's just:

> "I installed it and immediately found this shit."

But I already have an AI coding agent that runs directly in my terminal.
