About little-coder

little-coder A pi-based coding agent optimized for small local language models. little-coder started as a Claude Code-inspired Python CLI that adapts a cloud-style coding agent to 5–25 GB local models served via Ollama or llama.cpp. With v0.1.0 the agent has been ported onto pi () as a set of TypeScript extensions. Every mechanism the whitepaper cites as load-bearing — Write-vs-Edit invariant, per-turn skill injection, algorithm-cheat-sheet injection, thinking-budget cap, output-parser, quality monitor, per-model profiles, evidence-aware compaction — is preserved as a pi extension.
