Decision
Taste-aware terminal coding agent and open-model harness
- Choose it when
- Developers who want a terminal-native agent that learns package manager, test runner, and style preferences from edits
- Builders experimenting with DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, and other open models without writing a custom harness
- Skip it when
- You need a GUI IDE with Tab completion as the primary surface — use Cursor instead
- You cannot parse credit deals, processing fees, and per-model burn before approving team spend
- Cost
- Go $1/mo + processing fee ($10 credits) · GOAT $10/mo ($70 credits) · Pro $20/mo · Max 10× $100/mo · Max 20× $200/mo · Provider $15/mo API · Teams $40/mo pooled · Enterprise custom · top-up credits roll over at API cost

What these labels mean
- Editorial fit
- 0–100 desk score for research-workflow fit. Not stars, not a benchmark.
- Evidence level
- How close the desk got: self-run, hands-on, synthesized, or vendor claim.
- Dossier depth
- Flagship, Solid, Lightweight, and Draft describe how finished the page is — not which tool is best.
- Verification date
- When pricing or privacy was last opened at the source. Not a re-score of the whole dossier.
- Benchmark status
- Pending means no relevant first-party test is published yet. It is not a negative score.

Editor's note
Desk hands-on 2026-06: The harness is the story — taste-1 learns how you actually ship (pnpm vs npm, vp-* components, finish-the-task discipline) and open models stop feeling like toys. Budget the credits; review the skills file like code.
Public facts · vendor & repo
List prices and pay-as-you-go entry points we can cite without running our own bench. Each tile links to a source when possible.

How it works · agent loop
The public positioning for this product — the loop we score against on VerdictPal.
01Install and taste bootstrap
Run cmd in repo root; accept/reject edits so .commandcode/taste accrues package-manager and style rules.
Pick model and autonomy
Match DeepSeek deals to boilerplate; reserve Opus for architecture-sensitive diffs.
Review skills file like code
Treat accumulated taste rules as versioned config — bad patterns compound silently.
