The agentic-wrapper stack
IDE coding agents
Cline · Roo-Code · Kilocode
VS Code Marketplace extensions running autonomous code agents. Direct overlap with Cursor / VS Code GitHub Copilot agentic features.
Terminal coding agents
oh-my-pi · cline-cli · OpenHands
Headless / batch / scripted workflows. Lower per-call overhead than IDE wrappers; better for CI and automation.
Meta-orchestrator
claude-squad
Manages many wrapper instances in parallel git working copies. Sits above the wrappers. Fleet mode.
API gateways
LiteLLM · new-api · Portkey
Below the wrappers. Provider routing, retries, observability, prompt management. Any agent needs one of these.
Memory layer
roo-code-memory-bank
Orthogonal to all wrappers. Persistent project context across sessions. Most current wrappers don't ship this primitive.
Channel bridges
OpenClaw · Agent Zero · SillyTavern
WhatsApp / Telegram / Slack / Discord / voice / character chat. Adjacent — where users sometimes get pulled.
