What is Akmon Rust agent?

Akmon's a 3.4MB terminal AI coder —single binary, multi-provider, tool-calling loops for autonomous tasks.

How to build autonomous coding agent in Rust?

Start with Cargo workspace: core traits first (LlmProvider), then query loop, tools, CLI. Enforce deps inward. Use tokio for async streams.

Does Akmon work offline?

Yes—with Ollama or custom endpoints. Air-gapped ready, no installer needed.
