Nanocode is a minimal Claude Code alternative in a single Python file that provides an agentic coding loop with file and shell tools. It runs with zero external dependencies and is easy to inspect, customize, and extend for AI-assisted development workflows.
What to expect from an ideal product
- Create a single Python file that handles code generation and file operations without needing extra libraries or complex setup
- Build a simple loop that lets an AI assistant read your project files, understand what you're working on, and suggest or write code changes
- Add basic shell command execution so the AI can run tests, install packages, or perform other development tasks directly from the script
- Design the code to be readable and modular so you can easily modify how it interacts with different AI services or add new features
- Include file management tools that let the AI create, edit, and organize your project files while keeping track of changes
