openclaude is an open-source command-line coding agent designed to operate in the terminal and interface with a wide range of AI models. It is positioned as a model-neutral tool that enables users to connect to providers such as OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama, GitHub Models, and over 200 additional models, including those accessible via OpenAI-compatible APIs and various gateways. The tool emphasizes flexibility, allowing users to switch providers with a single command without needing to rewrite code or workflows, and supports working in any code repository.
Distinct from chatbot wrappers or IDE plugins, openclaude integrates real development tools into its agent loop, such as bash, file editing, grep, glob, mcp servers, and skills. This integration allows users to perform tasks like reading and editing files, searching code, running tests, and managing sessions directly from the terminal. All changes made by the agent are kept reviewable, and users can observe the agent's actions, including tool calls and code diffs, in real time. The platform supports streaming output, enabling live monitoring of the agent's decision-making and code modifications.
The tool is scriptable from the outset, with support for non-interactive modes that provide JSON and stream-JSON output, tool allowlists, budgets, and session controls. openclaude also offers persistent sessions, allowing users to resume, branch, and rewind conversations, manage background tasks, isolate worktrees, and even control sessions remotely from a phone. Configuration options include per-repository profiles that store model, base URL, authentication, and runtime defaults, ensuring consistent setup across different environments.
js version 20 or higher. The tool is suitable for developers and technical users seeking a terminal-based, model-agnostic coding agent that integrates closely with real-world development tools and workflows.
openclaude sits in PulseGate's Autonomous agents & workflows category. It focuses on automating coding tasks and agent workflows in the terminal using any AI model. It is built as an open-source project for developers. openclaude is open source under the Open Source license. The product ships for the command line, and it can be self-hosted.
Gitlawb builds and maintains openclaude, and the product first shipped in 2026. Development happens publicly on GitHub with 29.6k stars and 812 commits in the last 90 days. PulseGate's similarity index finds few close equivalents — openclaude occupies a relatively distinct niche. Key capabilities include CLI agent, multi-model support, and code editing. It exposes integrations via an MCP server and a public API.
