Who it is for

  • Stated purpose · repository says · unreviewed

    fx is the smallest coding agent: one native binary with no runtime to install. It's written in Zig and runs the same on your laptop, in CI, or inside an agent sandbox.

    README.md:16
  • Stated use case · repository says · unreviewed

    node-chat: a terminal chat with streamed replies.

    README.md:89
  • Stated use case · repository says · unreviewed

    browser-agent: the agent in WebAssembly behind a plain HTML form.

    README.md:90
  • Stated use case · repository says · unreviewed

    nextjs-agent: a Next.js App Router form with a streaming route handler.

    README.md:91

What it can do

  • Stated capability · repository says · unreviewed

    Small and fast: the Apple silicon release has a hard size limit, and startup is benchmarked on every pull request. CI fails a change if any measured command takes longer than 2 ms on Linux (benchmarks).

    README.md:22
  • Stated capability · repository says · unreviewed

    Any model: use Vercel AI Gateway, your ChatGPT or Grok subscription, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint such as Ollama or OpenRouter (custom connections).

    README.md:23
  • Stated capability · repository says · unreviewed

    Your own shell: commands run in your login shell with your aliases, functions, and PATH. fx runs your startup files once and reuses the result, so a slow .zshrc doesn't slow down every command.

    README.md:25

What adoption takes

No matching setup or dependency statement was extracted from inspected metadata.

02 / FINDINGS FIRST

What needs
a closer look.

Critical details are withheld publicly for the first 30 days after a scan. A matched pattern is a lead for investigation, not a confirmed vulnerability.

Dependencies: no lockfile or exact version pins at the repository root, so no advisory check was possible.

USER REPORTS

Did fx work for people?

No user reports yet.

Each report is one signed-in GitHub account saying what happened. We do not verify that the account ran the agent, and reports never change the automated score or grade. For a security problem, use the disclosure page instead of a public note.
