About

Keen Code is an open-source, terminal-based AI coding agent written in Go. It focuses on context efficiency through a "turn memory" system that discards raw tool traces after each turn, retaining only distilled summaries of files changed and failed commands. Unlike agents that load large MCP schemas upfront, Keen Code uses lazy-loaded markdown-based Skills, retrieving JSON schemas only at runtime. Ships with 6 core tools (read_file, write_file, edit_file, glob, grep, bash) and supports multiple LLM providers including Anthropic, Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, and DeepSeek.

Target Audience: Software engineers and developers who prefer terminal-native workflows and want a lightweight, context-efficient alternative to heavier coding agents.

What makes it different

  • Turn memory system discards raw traces — retains only distilled summaries for minimal token usage
  • Lazy-loaded markdown Skills instead of upfront MCP schema loading
  • Built entirely by AI agents under human orchestration — full development history preserved
  • Multi-provider support: Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi and more
