Open-source CLI for AI coding. Talks to Kimi, GLM, MiniMax, DeepSeek, and Ollama directly. No proxies, no telemetry, no $20/mo. 54 tools, 5 parallel agents, prompt caching.
Most AI coding tools route your code through their own servers for telemetry, analytics, and key management. Gokin doesn't. Every API call goes from your machine to the provider you chose. The code is open, you can check.
Explore reads files in parallel. General edits them. Bash runs them. They share memory and pass tasks between each other. API retries, provider failover, and live streaming come built in. You see the work as it happens.
Multi-turn reasoning for Kimi K2.6, GLM, and DeepSeek thinking modes. Reasoning blocks carry their signatures across turns and tool calls. No "reasoning_content missing" errors when the agent picks up where it left off.
Read-only tools run in parallel; write tools serialize. Slow tools get adaptive timeouts (p95 × 5). Failing tools downgrade their group to sequential.
Bring your own tools via Model Context Protocol. Each server gets a trust tier (low, medium, high) and every tool call inherits it.
Live spend with model-specific pricing. Explicit cache_control breakpoints cut input cost on Kimi, MiniMax, and DeepSeek by up to 90%. Gokin shows you when a break happens and how efficient the prefix was.
Up to five agents work in parallel, each one handling a slice of the job. They share a working memory, decompose tasks on their own, and stream output back as it happens. If one provider throttles, gokin moves to the next without dropping the conversation.
Four cloud providers, all daily-driver tier, tested every release. Ollama runs offline. Switch with /provider <name>.
Some CLIs route requests through their own Vercel Edge gateway for analytics. Gokin doesn't. Every byte leaves your machine over TLS, lands at the provider's endpoint, and comes back. The source is open, you can check.

Requires Go 1.25+ if you're building from source. Otherwise the installer pulls a release binary for your platform.
