Run resource-constrained terminal coding sessions with hax
Use hax as a lightweight terminal-native coding agent for local-model, provider-backed, or Unix-composed code workflows where low overhead and inspectable transcripts matter.
Prerequisites
hax binary, terminal shell, project directory, configured provider or local model runtime such as llama.cpp or Ollama
Installation
Install or set up from the source-backed instructions:
