Roze is a local coding agent built with Go, Bubble Tea, and Charmbracelet for Ollama models.

It is designed as a terminal-first assistant that can:

• discover locally installed Ollama models
• chat through a Bubble Tea TUI
• inspect the workspace with list_files and read_file
• create or replace files with write_file
• run shell commands with explicit approval

• Go 1.24.2+
• Ollama running locally
• at least one pulled model, for example:

ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:7b

go run .

If Ollama is not on the default host, set:

export OLLAMA_HOST=http://127.0.0.1:11434

• enter: submit prompt
• y / n: approve or deny a pending tool action
• /model <name|index|next|prev>: switch models
• /models: list loaded Ollama models
• /reload: reload models from Ollama
• /approve / /deny: approve or deny a pending tool action
• /quit: quit

Roze uses a provider-specific Ollama client and a JSON-based agent loop instead of model-native tool calling. That keeps it compatible with a wider range of Ollama-served models while still giving it a basic coding toolset.

The current MVP is intentionally conservative:

• file writes require approval
• shell commands require approval
• all paths are constrained to the current workspace

• diff-aware file editing instead of full-file rewrites
• richer toolset for search and patch application
• streaming assistant output
• session persistence and resumable conversations
