he-yufeng / CoreCoder
Minimal AI coding agent (~1,000 lines of Python) inspired by Claude Code. Works with any LLM. Think NanoGPT for coding agents. Formerly NanoCoder.
Why this job: says: coding agent, ai coding; topics: coding-agent, claude-code, coding agents
What it does
The nanoGPT column is there as a reference point: minimal, readable, but it teaches you to train a GPT. CoreCoder is after the same thing, only the subject is an agent that actually edits code. Sitting it next to Claude Code and aider isn't about competing for their users. CoreCoder is the foundation you stand on while you learn from them and get going; it isn't in the same race.
