Dao Code is an open-source terminal-native AI coding agent written in TypeScript, targeting DeepSeek V4 with 1M context and Claude Code-compatible configuration. It engineers byte-stable prefixes and cache-reusing forks so cross-session memory and self-correction add almost no token cost, achieving ~95% prompt-cache hit rates.

Use cases

• run an AI coding agent in the terminal with DeepSeek instead of Claude
• reduce LLM coding agent costs via prompt cache optimization
• get a Claude Code alternative that works in mainland China
• let an AI agent read, edit, and test code with approval gates
• maintain cross-session memory for a coding assistant cheaply
• use MCP tools and skills with a terminal coding agent

When to choose

• you want a low-cost, pay-as-you-go coding agent without Anthropic access or quota limits
• you work in a terminal and want streaming reasoning with an approval gate
• you need 1M-context coding assistance with persistent memory at minimal token cost
• you already use Claude Code config and want a compatible DeepSeek-based agent

When to avoid

• you need a GUI or IDE-integrated coding assistant
• you require top-tier closed-model quality regardless of cost
• you don't want to use DeepSeek models specifically
• the project is young (v0.4.x) and you need battle-tested stability
