sudocode

About

sudocode was built by the Sudo Privacy community in explicit reaction to Claude Code's beginner-oriented direction, and its design choices follow from that audience: output renders inline so tmux, ssh, and terminal scrollback stay intact; JSON output pipes into jq like any Unix tool; and sessions are stored as readable, forkable jsonl files with zero telemetry by default. The same binary runs as a REPL, a one-shot command, or a headless ACP server for editors and web clients, with MCP servers mounted alongside built-in tools. It is deliberately positioned as an agent unit rather than an orchestrator — fleets of 7-10 or 100+ instances coordinate through a nexus VFS mailbox under the broader Sudowork platform. Releases are gated on dogfooding, and everything is configuration files: sessions as jsonl, config as .scode.json, docs as markdown.
