Nanocode

Minimalist open-source Claude Code alternative in a single, auditable Python file with zero dependencies.

Webfreeglobal

Nanocode is a minimalist, open-source alternative to Claude Code packaged as a single Python file with roughly 250 lines and zero external dependencies. It provides a full agentic coding loop with file editing, shell execution, and pattern-based search from the terminal, aimed at developers who want a fully auditable, hackable coding agent rather than a heavier framework.
