Post comment/reviewWhat is Sidekick CLI?
Sidekick is an agentic CLI-based AI tool inspired by Claude Code, Copilot, Windsurf and Cursor. It's meant to be an open source alternative to these tools, providing a similar experience but with the flexibility of using different LLM providers while keeping the agentic workflow.
Features:
- No vendor lock-in. Use whichever LLM provider you prefer.
- MCP support
- Use /undo when AI breaks things.
- Easily switch between models in the same session.
- JIT-style system prompt injection ensures Sidekick doesn't lose the plot.
- Per-project guide. Adjust Sidekick's behavior to suit your needs.
- CLI-first design. Ditch the clunky IDE.
- Cost and token tracking.
- Per command or per session confirmation skipping.
