WrongStack
Open-source AI coding agent across terminal REPL, full-screen TUI, and browser UI.
About
WrongStack is an MIT-licensed AI coding agent that reads your code, edits files, runs commands, and reasons through bugs while keeping every permission in your hands. It runs as a terminal REPL, a full-screen TUI, and a browser UI, with built-in tools for reading, writing, editing, and deleting files, directory exploration, shell execution, and web fetching. It adds long-term memory through a SAGE knowledge graph, slash commands, skills, plugins, and an OAuth-based subscription option.
The honest picture: it is a young project in a crowded field, so the ecosystem of skills and plugins is far smaller than Cline or Aider, and documentation is still catching up. But for developers who want a transparent, self-controlled agent stack, the open codebase is the point.
What it can do
- Terminal REPL, full-screen TUI, and browser UI
- Explicit permission control over every tool
- SAGE long-term memory with knowledge graph
- Slash commands, skills, and plugin system
- MIT-licensed and fully self-hostable
Setup
Clone the repo or install the CLI package with your Node 22 package manager, then run wrongstack (or wstack) in your project directory.
Prerequisites
