About

Sharing an agent that I built since most of the agents that&#x27;s nice to work with, take hefty deps like node or is provider dependent. It&#x27;s heavily inspired by the wonderful pi agent - and builds on it as something that you can run on tiny hardware or embed easily in your own binaries without needing it&#x27;s hefty dependency chain. An agent doesn&#x27;t really need much - a minimal networking stack, a TUI and an agent loop. Then comes tools, mcp, skills and prompts. agentc does exactly that - a minimal, static, embeddable coding agent in C - no libc, less than 1MB, starts up using <1MB of RAM, and RSS comfortably sits under a few MBs during usage. It&#x27;s extensible and everything including status, mcp, tools is architected as an extension. The embeddable part is by design, but exposing it as an API is still a pending plan and should be done in a few days. Also: would love some human testing on a Mac! CI builds for: linux - x64, arm64, risv64; win - x64, arm64 and darwin - arm64.
