Zot
A minimal terminal coding agent, shipped as one static Go binary
Visit website →About
Zot is a coding agent that lives entirely in your terminal. It edits files, runs your shell, and works through a familiar TUI — plus print, JSON, and RPC modes for piping into other tooling.
The whole thing ships as one static Go binary with no runtime, no container, and no dashboard. Bring your own API key for OpenAI or Anthropic, or sign in directly with a Claude, ChatGPT, Kimi, or GitHub Copilot subscription.
Released under the MIT license, Zot is aimed at developers who want an agent that fits inside an SSH session or a script, without adopting yet another IDE or platform.

Why we picked it
Zot earns its spot for shipping as one static Go binary with no runtime and no dashboard — that minimalism is worth naming for anyone who wants a coding agent they can drop on a machine and run immediately, no install step, no container to manage.
