Slate#

Slate is a terminal-based AI coding agent designed for extended, collaborative sessions. It supports tool use, file editing, and multi-step task execution from the command line.

Getting Started#

Install Slate and configure your API key. See the Slate documentation for setup instructions.

When to Use It#

Slate is useful when you want an open-source terminal agent that can work through multi-step coding tasks with tool access, similar to Claude Code but with different trade-offs.
