fx: A 6MB coding agent that starts in 10 microseconds

fx is a tiny, open-source coding agent harness and CLI written in Zig, designed for research and embeddability. Its binary is just 6.39MiB, cold-starts in 10µs, and runs as WebAssembly via the Zig toolchain. With a minimal memory footprint and a shell-like UI, fx is context-efficient and extensible through skills, plugins, and MCPs. It's model-agnostic, suitable for local or cloud inference, and ideal for resource-constrained environments.

fx cold starts in 10µs and does no unnecessary work or I/O prior to accepting user input, making it ideal for programmatic use.
