Overview
jcode is a coding agent for the terminal, written in Rust. You describe a change in plain words and it works in your project, and you can open many agent sessions in the same repository at once. A shared server tells one agent when another has edited a file it read, and the agents can message each other. You log in with a Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or GitHub Copilot account, or add an API key.
By its own benchmark, each extra headless session adds only about 3.3 MB of memory, so a laptop can keep many agents running.

Features
From the creator's documentation.
| Feature | What it does | Runs |
|---|---|---|
| Parallel sessions | Run many agent sessions at once, with a small memory cost for each extra headless one | Your computer |
| Swarm | Agents in one repo are told when another edits a file they read, and can message each other | Your computer |
| Model logins | Log in with Claude, OpenAI, Gemini or Copilot accounts, or add an OpenAI-compatible endpoint | Model provider |
| MCP servers | Reads MCP server settings, including ones imported from Claude Code and Codex; stdio only | Your computer |
| Skills | Loads skill folders that contain a SKILL.md, including Claude Code plugin skills | Your computer |
| Self-dev mode | On request the agent edits and rebuilds jcode's own source code | Your computer |
Good to know
You want a terminal coding agent that can run several sessions in one repository without slowing your computer. Each session can work on its own task while the shared server warns an agent when another one changes a file it has read.
Limits
- It needs a model login or API key from a provider; the install script only sets up the program.
- Default telemetry may include the email address of the model account you log in with; sharing full transcripts is a separate option that is off by default, and 'jcode telemetry disable' turns telemetry off.
