Sloppy
by icholy
A lightweight CLI agent supporting MCP servers with built-in capabilities for shell execution, file manipulation, and agent delegation.
What it does
Sloppy is a CLI-based LLM agent designed to act as a coordinator. It can execute local system commands, manage files, and uniquely delegate complex tasks to child agents (independent Sloppy instances) to keep the main context window clean and focused.
Tools
- run_command: Executes shell commands on the host system.
- run_agent: Spawns a child agent to handle a specific subtask.
- apply_diff: Applies precise search-and-replace changes to text files using diff blocks.
- read_file: Reads file contents with optional line range specification.
- write_file: Creates or completely replaces a file with new content.
Installation
Install using Go:
go install github.com/icholy/sloppy@latest
To configure external MCP servers, create a sloppy.json file (Cursor-compatible format) and run with sloppy --config ./sloppy.json.
