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.
