Why Yara Code exists

You write code with an agent now — **Claude Code**, **Cursor CLI**, **Codex CLI**, **Aider** — and the agent lives in a terminal. What you actually do all day is *read*: open the files it touched, read the diff, fix a line it got wrong, run the tests. A full IDE is the wrong tool for that job — it spends its startup time, its memory and its screen on a language server, a debugger, a marketplace and a git GUI you no longer use.

Yara Code is the small editor for that loop. It **views files and diffs, edits a few lines, and stays out of the way** — with the agent right there in the built-in terminal.

No LSP. No indexing, no background language servers, no "loading workspace". Go-to-definition is a fast keyword jump; your agent knows the codebase better than an index would.
No git UI to learn. Status, diffs and blame are shown; every git command you actually run, you run in the terminal, where you already run them.
Nothing else. No pl
