Nikcli is a fork of OpenCode
Nikcli is an independent fork of OpenCode, the open source coding agent — full credit for the original project goes to its authors and contributors. This fork extends it for one specific workflow: session orchestration, mobile hosting, LSP/MCP surfaces, and operational tooling, keeping the terminal-first experience at the center. Nikcli is not affiliated with or endorsed by the OpenCode project; report nikcli issues here, not upstream.
