RUBRIC

## Portfolio spec sheet

| Agent | Category | Interfaces | Hosting | Pricing | Status | Caps |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| AiderAider is an open-source, Git-native pair programmer: it maps the repo, proposes commits, and works with any model via BYOK or OpenRouter. | CLI agent | cli | local | Free (OSS) + your model API costs | active · caution | 4 tags |
| ClineCline is an open-source VS Code agent that plans, edits, and runs tools with BYOK models and approval controls. | IDE extension | editor · cli | local | Free (OSS) + model costs; ClinePass $9.99/mo | active | 7 tags |
| OpenCodeOpenCode is an MIT-licensed open-source terminal coding agent that is fully BYOK, with optional hosted model access via Zen and Go. | CLI agent | cli | local | Free (OSS) + BYOK; Zen PAYG; Go $10/mo | active | 6 tags |
| OpenHandsOpenHands (formerly OpenDevin) is an open-source software engineering agent you can self-host, using LiteLLM or OpenRouter for models. | CLI agent | cli · api · editor | local · cloud | Free OSS self-host; Cloud free tier + $20/mo | active | 8 tags |
| LiteLLMLiteLLM is a self-hostable proxy that normalizes hundreds of LLM APIs behind an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. | model router | api | local · cloud | Free OSS self-host; Enterprise quote-based | active | 3 tags |
| Model Context ProtocolModel Context Protocol is an open protocol for connecting agents and IDEs to tools and data sources through MCP servers. | bridge protocol | api | local · cloud | Open protocol (free) | active | 3 tags |
| ContinueContinue was an open-source IDE assistant for chat, edit, and agent workflows; Cursor acqui-hired the team in June 2026 and the standalone product was wound down. | IDE extension | editor | local | Retired — acquired by Cursor (Jun 2026); OSS core only | deprecated | 5 tags |
| InstinctInstinct is a self-learning memory MCP server for coding agents — it observes repeated patterns, scores them by confidence, and promotes mature ones into suggestions it exports back to Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, and CLAUDE.md. | bridge protocol | api | local | Free (OSS, MIT) | active · caution | 4 tags |
| Agent Network ProtocolAgent Network Protocol (ANP) is an open spec for a decentralized web of agents — DID-based identity, capability description, and peer-to-peer agent messaging without a central directory. | agent communication platform | api | local · cloud | Open protocol (free) | active | 3 tags |

NOTES

## Field notes

[Aider](https://www.agentlist.io/systems/aider)

Surgical, Git-first edits on a local repo with your own API keys.

Caveat — Releases continued through v0.86.x (Aug 2026) but cadence has slowed and users have opened issues asking about maintenance status — check activity before adopting.

[Cline](https://www.agentlist.io/systems/cline)

Cost- and control-sensitive teams that want an open-source agent inside VS Code.

Caveat — Free extension; you pay inference at provider rates. ClinePass is an optional low-cost subscription for open coding models.

[OpenCode](https://www.agentlist.io/systems/opencode)

Leading OSS terminal agent; cheapest path to open coding models.

[OpenHands](https://www.agentlist.io/systems/openhands)

Self-hosted autonomous SWE agent, with a hosted Cloud option for teams.

Caveat — Cloud has a free Individual tier and a $20/mo subscription; organization tiers are quote-based.

[LiteLLM](https://www.agentlist.io/systems/litellm)

Teams that want a gateway they operate themselves; used under OpenHands and many agent stacks.

Caveat — Enterprise licence is quote-based and priced by gateway scale, not per token; SSO is free up to 5 users.

[Model Context Protocol](https://www.agentlist.io/systems/mcp)

The common tool-bridge layer across most entries in this catalog.

Caveat — The 2026-07-28 revision is the largest since launch and introduces a 12-month deprecation policy; check server/client compatibility.

[Continue](https://www.agentlist.io/systems/continue)

Historical reference. The extension still runs on your own keys, but there is no roadmap or hosted service.

Caveat — Retired. Final release v2.0.0 shipped June 19, 2026; Cline, Cursor, or Kiro are the usual landing spots.

[Instinct](https://www.agentlist.io/systems/instinct)

Stopping your agent from making the same mistake twice — memory that compounds across sessions.

Caveat — Early, small community project; promoted patterns are heuristic — review auto-applied rules before trusting them.

[Agent Network Protocol](https://www.agentlist.io/systems/anp)

Experiments in decentralized agent networks where no central directory or vendor should sit in the middle.

Caveat — Research-grade adoption: smaller ecosystem and fewer production deployments than A2A.
