Original Summary

I've been building Tau for the past 5 months. It's a free, open source coding agent that runs in your terminal. I wanted an agent that costs less and gives better results, with the tools already built in so you don't have to go hunting for plugins. Here's what it can do: - Native adapters for 28 providers. It talks to each API directly, no proxy in between. Run /login, pick a provider, and start working. - The full agent loop: tools, skills, subagents, MCP servers, LSP and hooks, all working with every provider - Core tools are optimized to use fewer tokens. The search tool runs on the latest version of ripgrep and is configured to avoid false positives from files and directories such as node_modules and dist the kinds of files that pollute the context. The file-reading tool starts with a skeleton, then reads only the 50 lines it needs instead of an entire 800-line file, fetching only the information relevant to the task. Bash commands go through a security check based on a Go shell parser and best-practice guidelines. - LSP built in, so the agent sees real type errors, definitions and references. - Snapshots of your working tree in a separate git repo. Save, diff and restore any time without touching your branches. - Web search that works with no API key. Firecrawl is there too if you have a key. - /remote lets you follow and approve from your phone, over your Wi-Fi or a free Cloudflare tunnel. Share the tunnel link and your teammates can join the same session. - TauCode can make your whole workflow up to mush cheaper than any other agent and I’m not exaggerating. This is because TauCode uses a Python kernel tool, anything Python can do, TauCode can do through this tool. For example, when you want to analyze 20 CSV files and extract insights, other agents might need ~30 turns (one turn per CSV), causing the context window to grow, costs to rise, and more analysis/debugging turns. With this tool, TauCode creates one turn with the full workflow, executes it at once, and returns the result. So the context stays clean from pollution, debugging is clearer, output quality is higher, and cost is lower. This is just one example among millions. - Diagrams drawn right in the terminal when something is easier to see than to read. - A fully integrated browser tool that allows Tau to interact with the browser like a human. It gives Tau visibility into your frontend design, enables more automated testing, and handles tasks that would normally require human intervention. - Subagents that stay alive after they finish, so you can send them a follow-up and they still have their context. Agents working in parallel take turns on the same file so that prevent overlapping . -TauCode thinks about your money and preferences before anything else. You don’t need skills, agents, or MCP for a normal workflow without enabling them just use cheap mode if you need those capabilities, enable them in normal mode with one command: /mode normal .
