README

FreeAgent

An open-source terminal coding agent. One CLI, swappable models — free (z.ai GLM-4.5-flash, Groq, OpenRouter `:free` routes, local Ollama) or paid frontier (GPT-5, Claude Opus 4.5, Gemini 2.5 Pro). It reads and edits your code, runs commands, and ships projects to GitHub and Vercel.
