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.
It was a pet project that turned into a thing been a ton of fun to work on though and looking forward to exploring other ideas. Still in beta, so a few quirks but mostly works.
I haven’t spent much time there. Mostly OpenaAI, Anthropic and Google as they had shown the most promise for coding. Hoping to spend more time on local models soon though.
I think Aider is great, but when I first tried it, it wasn’t “agentic” - you had to manually manage files in the context window. I found this cumbersome. I definitely resonated with Claude Code more, but wanted more model options.
