There's https://3code.capocasa.dev/ which is written in Nim and focuses on token efficiency.

does it achieve token efficiency? vs something like maki? It's not at all clear what the method of that "efficiency" is.

my main issues with maki are that the line editor (what you use to enter your prompts) is very barebones, copy-paste is broken (no middle-click paste, or copy to PRIMARY; implicit copying to CLIPBOARD that can only be used with a mouse), and scrollback is not native. So it's not a real cli, but some sort of weblike tui.

I tried 3code; it does not mess with selection, but code printed in the conversation has | markers in every line, and is thus uncopyable in practice. Don't know how to use that.

I've only dabbled with 3code. The author of 3code is pretty active, so he may take suggestions. I'd agree that copy/paste is important for a good agent workflow.

Thanks for that. Looks like exactly the agent I might have been looking for.
