The AI CLI space has expanded quickly. Claude Code from Anthropic brings conversational coding assistance to the terminal, Codex CLI handles code generation and agentic tasks from the command line. OpenCode runs entirely from the command line and works with any LLM provider you already have access to. The opencode cli approach keeps things lightweight — no IDE plugins, no browser tabs, just your terminal.
