Introduction

Many packages help coding agents work more effectively and efficiently. The best tools already exist; wiring them well is the real work. Tokless brings together specialized tools, each with a distinct purpose, and manages them with minimal setup.

Installation

Manual

macOS / Linux

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HoangP8/tokless/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell)

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HoangP8/tokless/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

Interactive install detects installed supported agents; choose one, some, or all:

tokless                              # interactive: pick agents
tokless --agents claude,opencode     # wire just these

Copy this for your agent

Tools

Popular packages with distinct roles, wired without conflicts.

Package	⭐	Purpose
karpathy-skills		Coding principles: think first, simplify, edit surgically, verify.
caveman		Terse response rules that preserve technical accuracy.
ponytail		Minimal-code rules: reuse first, avoid speculative work.
rtk		Filters command output before it reaches the agent.
codegraph		Indexed code graph for source, call paths, and impact.
context-mode		Sandboxed context tools with session memory and focused analysis.

Note: ❌ Grok Build does not support RTK command rewriting yet.

Usage

tokless              Install tools, then pick detected agents (safe to re-run)
tokless update       Update the tokless CLI, then show version diff and upgrade tools
tokless doctor       Show what's wired; warn about broken bits
tokless info         Show how tokless was installed, plus paths and config locations
tokless index        Build per-project codegraph indexes
tokless disable      Disable one or more agents
tokless uninstall    Remove everything tokless touched
tokless self-update  Update the tokless CLI itself
tokless --version    Print tokless version
tokless --help       Show all commands and flags

Flags:

--agents <list>   Subset: claude,opencode,codex,antigravity,copilot,droid,pi,grok,omp,cline,cursor
--tools <list>    Subset: rtk,caveman,ponytail,codegraph,context-mode
--dry-run         Preview, no writes
--verbose         Every step
--yes             Skip confirmations

Restart agents after install so they pick up new config.
