So Nori is a wrapper around cli agents? Did I get that right?
That’s interesting since it works around the issues OpenCode ran into and lets you use your subscription, but I’m not clear on the downsides. What do you lose with this approach verses using Claude Code directly?
you got it right The main limitation versus Claude Code itself is just the exact feature parity. There are a lot of features at this point packed into CC, that it will take a little bit of time to get to exact feature parity. For example session resumes will be pretty easy to add, but session rewind and branching is a bigger ask
On the flicker free console as well as agent agnostic front, also see BatrachianAI's Toad (https://github.com/batrachianai/toad). Maybe you two should/could collaborate.
good callout, I've seen Will McGugan's work on textual and rich before and that really pushed forward the Python+terminal ecosystem in the past five years. I've seen a lot of CLI tools coalesce on the rust and go ecosystems, for various reasons (uv, fzf, helix, just, etc). But I didn't know toad had gone open source now, very excited to check it out!
our vision with Nori CLI is to smooth the headache of hooking in skills and other customizations into any agent that's running under the hood, which I think is exactly in line with that. I see that Toad is also built on top of the ACP approach, so there's definitely an overlap or possible integration

my ulterior motive: I use some of Nori skills, and also toad, ampcode, codex, kilocode, and... I want to reduce my tool noise. ;-)

must-haves: history of previous conversations rewind (+restore code /+ conversations) plan mode / dangerously skip permissions
nice-to-have: skills functionality mcp servers
not massively fussed about anything else right now.
great feedback, thank you!
