Nanocode is a terminal-based AI coding agent, presented as a sequence of runnable chapter snapshots rather than a single modular application. In the capstone workflow, a user submits a request, the agent consults a model, invokes tools as needed, and returns results while retaining conversation and persistent context. Documented capabilities include file editing, command execution, codebase search, safety modes, multiple model providers, and web search. The sampled code shows provider and agent behavior; several tool details are documented in the README but not present in the excerpts.
