For what it's worth, this is exactly why I am working on Jean-Pierre[0], pitched as:

> A command-line toolkit to support you in your daily work as a software programmer. Built to integrate into your existing workflow, providing a flexible and powerful pair-programming experience with LLMs.

The team behind DCD[1] are funding my work, as we see a lot of potential in a local-first, open-source, CLI-driven programming assistant for developers. This is obviously a crowded field, and growing more crowded by the day, but we think there's still a lot of room for improvement in this area.

We're still working on a lot of the fundamentals, but are moving closer to supporting agentic workflows similar to Claude Code, but built around your existing workflows, editors and tools, using the Unix philosophy of DOTADIW.

We're not at a state where we want to promote it heavily, as we're introducing breaking changes to the file format almost daily, but once we're a bit further along, we hope people find it as useful as we have in the past couple of months, integrating it into our existing terminal configurations, editors and local shell scripts.
