Reika

Reika is a command-line interface (CLI) coding tool optimized for working with both local and hosted code generation models. It focuses on enhancing the daily development experience, especially with smaller, more resource-efficient local models. Key features include: * **Context Discipline:** Efficiently manages context and prompt caches for local models. * **Loop Breaking:** Detects and stops runaway reasoning or repeated reads. * **Work Verification:** Checks proposed edits, typechecks TypeScript, and tracks plan progress. * **Task-Specific Modes:** Offers different modes for planning, testing, reviewing, or casual chat. * **Safety Features:** Prompts for dangerous commands and runs shell commands in a kernel sandbox on macOS. Reika is engineered to be careful with context, fail gracefully, and indicate when it's unable to proceed, making the process less frustrating. While designed with smaller local models in mind, it provides a robust experience with larger local models or hosted alternatives. This tool is ideal for software developers, engineers, and coding enthusiasts who frequently interact with code generation models and seek a more disciplined, efficient, and less frustrating command-line interface for their coding tasks. It helps streamline development workflows by providing reliable code suggestions and modifications.
