To help answer that question, I started building Locode, a open source CLI that tries this approach.
The idea is: • run simple tasks locally • route complex reasoning to Claude • reduce inference cost and latency • keep the workflow local first
This project is still very early and mostly a fun learning experiment for me. The entire project was built using Claude Code (not vibe coded). I really love the workflow and it inspired a lot of the design. I’m also a huge fan of Ruff, so I took some inspirations from that as well (no rust yet though).
There is a short demo video in the README if you want to see it in action.
Please take it for a spin if you are interested and let me know what you think and/or if you have experience with cli tools and suggestion on improving Locode, I’m happy to learn.
Cheers! Chocks
