Nanocoder: Local-First Coding Agent with Subagent Delegation and Multi-Provider Support

GitHub·medium signal

Nanocoder (Nano-Collective/nanocoder, 1,865 stars) brings Claude Code-style agentic coding to local models via any OpenAI-compatible API — Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, or cloud providers like OpenRouter. Recent versions added subagents (Explore for read-only investigation, Reviewer for code review), yolo mode for auto-accepting all tool calls, and plan mode cycling. Available via npm, Homebrew, and Nix. For builders who want agent coding without vendor lock-in or API costs, this is the most mature local-first option.
