## What it is
A portable AI coding agent that runs Claude Code-style functionality from a USB drive or any folder with no installation, bundling a self-contained Node.js runtime, a system-prompt proxy for local models, and a web dashboard. It supports nine AI providers including offline Ollama mode and keeps all data inside its own folder for zero footprint on the host machine.

## Use cases
- run an AI coding agent from a USB stick on any PC
- use Claude Code without installing anything
- code with local LLMs offline via Ollama
- carry my AI dev environment between machines
- run an AI agent with zero footprint on the host system
- speed up local model responses by trimming system prompts
- resume interrupted AI coding sessions

## When to choose
- you need a fully portable, no-install AI coding agent
- you work across locked-down or shared machines
- you want offline coding assistance with Ollama
- you want all keys, logs, and sessions kept on removable media

## When to avoid
- you need a deeply integrated IDE extension experience
- you require enterprise-grade security or audit trails
- you prefer a natively installed tool with system-level integration
