hey one of the authors here

we're a little over a month into development and have a lot on our roadmap

the cli is client/server model - the TUI is our initial focus but the goal is to build alternative frontends, mobile, web, desktop, etc

we think of our task as building a very good code review tool - you'll see more of that side in the following weeks

can answer any questions here

Like it a lot so far!

After a brief play last night, the biggest feature of aider I miss is more control over the context window -- saying "/clear" to re-start the conversation from scratch, or specifying files to add or remove as they become relevant or irrelevant. Not clear how much or how long files stay in the context window.

The other question I have is whether you use Anthropic's "prompt caching" [1] to reduce the cost of the long conversation?

There’s some discussion in GitHub that suggests they are not using prompt caching, but recognize the need and are looking at it: https://github.com/sst/opencode/issues/254

curious why /clear instead of making a new session?

and nothing expires out from the session until you get near the context window max - at which point we do a compaction process

Would be cool if it could be an alternative frontend for gemini-cli, claude code, acli and the other tui's
