Openclaude (GitHub Repo)
OpenClaude is an open-source CLI agent providing a unified interface across cloud APIs, local LLM providers, and development tools.
What: OpenClaude supports various backends including OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama, and GitHub Models, offering a terminal-first workflow with features like background sessions, repo mapping, and tool-driven coding.
Why it matters: It offers an independent, multi-provider alternative to Anthropic's Claude Code, enabling developers to switch models without changing their CLI tooling or workflow.
Takeaway: Use `npm install -g @gitlawb/openclaude` to get started, and use the `/provider` command to configure your preferred backend.
