Maki is a terminal-based AI coding agent written in Rust, optimized for minimal context token usage with tools like tree-sitter file indexing, sandboxed code execution, and model-tiered subagents. It is extensible with neovim-style Lua plugins and offers a fast ratatui TUI with fine-grained permission control.
Use cases
- run an AI coding agent in the terminal with minimal token usage
- extend an AI coding assistant with custom Lua plugins
- delegate coding tasks to subagents using cheaper models
- get precise permission checks on bash commands run by an AI agent
- keep long-term memory across AI coding sessions
- review and navigate subagent work in a TUI
When to choose
- you want a fast, token-efficient terminal AI coding agent
- you want neovim-like Lua extensibility
- you care about transparent permissions and full visibility of agent actions
When to avoid
- you prefer IDE-integrated agents like Copilot or Cursor
- you need a GUI-based coding assistant
- you rely on a JavaScript/Node plugin ecosystem
