Additional Information

Why should this agent be included?

Keen Code is an actively developed open-source terminal coding agent with a deliberately small built-in tool surface and a distinctive context-management design. It is also a useful comparison point for Go-native coding agents because it supports both mainstream agent conventions—AGENTS.md, Agent Skills, MCP, plan/build modes, and subagents—and less common features such as controllable cross-turn tool-output retention, hash-anchored edits, and an independently configured adversarial reviewer.
