AI Summary
Zap-Coding-Agent is an open-source AI coding tool that optimizes prompt usage by sending only the necessary tokens for specific tasks, such as Java or React, while utilizing an AST code index to avoid overwriting existing files. It operates as a single Rust binary without a runtime and requires a personal API key.
Coding agents are getting smarter. Their prompts aren't. Gemini CLI sends 4,096 tokens before you type a word. Zap sends only what the current task needs — Java skill for Java, React skill for React. A greeting costs 31 tokens, not 2,000. AST code index means it never writes files that already exist. Single Rust binary, no runtime, bring your own API key. Open source. Benchmarked.
