nori-cli

Coding agents create a difficult tradeoff for engineers. They can make magic when given a wide set of context, permissions, and commands. But that's also when they are their most dangerous. Tooling needs to be tightly controlled to avoid risk or to shape context going into the agent. nori-cli compartmentalizes your agents and configurations, reducing risk and improving context management.

Engineers have strong opinions about how they want their tools to work. This of course extends to their agents - how agents plan, build, run tests, and automate workflows. And, most importantly, which coding agent you use. Many developers are avoiding customization altogether to lower their switching costs. nori-cli sits above coding agents, so you can always choose the right agent for you.

Engineers are doing more and everything is multi-tasked. This means attention on any given item needs to be perfectly optimized. If our interfaces are slow, the cost of experimentation is high, and we will be less productive. If our terminal is lightning fast, our cost of failure is low, and we will create more useful code.
