## Historique du projet et usages

zot is a young Go-based coding-agent harness packaged as a single command-line binary. Its niche is the post-Codex/Claude-Code generation of terminal agent tools: local TUI, print, JSON, and RPC modes wrapped around model providers and a small built-in tool set.

### Historique du projet

The GitHub repository was created in April 2026 by Patrice Eckhart. The project README describes zot as a lightweight coding-agent harness written in Go, with one static binary, four built-in tools, and provider integrations for OpenAI/Codex, Anthropic, Gemini, Kimi, DeepSeek, Ollama/local models, and other API-compatible backends.

The public documentation emphasizes embeddability and extensibility rather than a large default plugin ecosystem: zot can run interactively, emit JSON events, serve an RPC protocol for external apps, load SKILL.md instruction packs, and install extensions that communicate over subprocess JSON-RPC.

### Historique d'adoption

zot's adoption story is early-stage. GitHub repository metadata showed a few hundred stars and several dozen forks by July 2026, and the batch package metadata already lists Homebrew, Alpine, and MacPorts package names, which is notable for a project created only months earlier.

Its practical audience is developers experimenting with local coding-agent harnesses who want a single binary rather than a Node, Python, or Docker-shaped stack.

### Modes d'utilisation

Typical use is to run `zot` for the terminal UI, pass a prompt directly, use `-p` for print mode, use `--json` for newline-delimited events, or run `zot rpc` when embedding it in another program. Authentication is handled through provider API keys or supported subscription login flows, with state under `$ZOT_HOME`.

For package users, the important behavior is that zot installs like a normal CLI while still exposing agent-specific features such as session resume, model/provider selection, extension loading, skills, and a Telegram bridge.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

zot is package-nerd interesting because it turns a fast-moving AI-agent pattern into the old reliable artifact shape: one binary on `$PATH`. That makes it easy to compare with Codex CLI, Claude Code-style tools, OpenCode, and other terminal harnesses without first adopting their runtime stack.

### Chronologie

- 2026-04-17: The public `patriceckhart/zot` GitHub repository is created.
- 2026: The README documents a single-binary Go harness with TUI, print, JSON, and RPC modes.
- 2026: Package metadata in this batch records zot in Homebrew, Alpine, and MacPorts.

### Related projects

- OpenAI Codex CLI and Anthropic Claude Code are upstream workflow reference points because zot documents subscription login flows and provider behavior related to them.
- OpenCode, Ollama, Gemini, Kimi, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, and other provider backends are adjacent surfaces in zot's model-provider layer.
