Forum Discussion

Users are discussing the need for customization and extensibility in coding agents.

I understand the need for memory footprint in some situations, but what’s the point of seeking performance for a software that mostly calls LLMs and waits?

Others are highlighting the importance of extensibility, citing WordPress as an example.

WordPress won because anyone could install it and add the plugins they needed. WordPress also has the same hook system where multiple plugins can build on the same hook.

Competing Agents

Some users are comparing Zerostack to other open-source coding agents, such as opencode.

One user even created their own agent in under 200 lines of code.

I (somewhat jokingly) wrote one recently too… in under 200 lines. Repl, sessions, non-interactive, approvals, etc
