Seven tools is all you need. Open source AI agent

Hi HN,

This is an agent framework I'm using myself for coding and various tasks. AI has gotten good enough that it can do a lot of tasks given simple but right tools which are composable.

These seven tools are most of what I need to get work done: read, write, diff, browse, command, ask, think.

Just looking to share and hope others find it useful, check it out at https://github.com/aperoc/toolkami.

Curious what are the main actions that is most useful for you?

    I’m looking forward to checking this out when I have time tonight or tomorrow.

    I was actually just looking at different open source tools I could run locally that would allow agents to write and execute their own Python code. Seems like this might be able to do so in 2 steps, with a file write, and then a command?
