A new open-source AI coding command-line interface (CLI) is emerging as a potential competitor to Claude, offering developers a free and accessible alternative. Designed with a focus on intelligent code generation and indexing similar to Cursor, the tool aims to empower developers with robust AI assistance. Installation is simple, requiring only the command ‘npm install -g @terra-code/terra-code@latest’. Users receive 2000 free runs per day, encouraging widespread adoption and experimentation. The project developers urge the community to support the initiative by starring the project on GitHub: [https://github.com/TerraAGI/terra-code-cli](https://github.com/TerraAGI/terra-code-cli). Initial discussions surrounding the tool’s capabilities and potential took place on Reddit: [https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1nardly/imagine_an_opensource_ai_coding_cli_of_claude/]
