    • Optimizes context token usage with tools like tree-sitter indexing and sandboxed code execution to reduce token consumption and improve performance.
    • Use for integrating AI-assisted coding directly within terminal-based development environments with minimal resource overhead.
    • Use for managing multiple AI subagents simultaneously with full visibility and control over their tasks and permissions.
    • Use for customizing AI provider integrations dynamically by adding executable scripts to support new or proxy providers.

    From the README

    An AI coding agent optimized for minimal use of context tokens, while providing a great user experience.

    Dynamic providers - drop an executable script into ~/.maki/providers/ to add custom providers or proxies. See docs for details.

    Or download a pre-built binary from GitHub Releases.

    More info at the official docs.

    DISCLAIMER: >90% of code in maki was written by maki. The code is not as good as what I would've made in the artisinal hand-made style. But it's also not entirely vibe coded, and definitely not vibe designed. I just think people should be honest about their use of AI in projects in this era.
