new rick v0.1.4 — swarms, themes & 160+ providers see what shipped

The agent.
You command.

A fast, focused terminal AI coding agent that builds, inspects and changes your projects without leaving the shell. You scope the access — every tool call needs your sign-off unless you say otherwise.

$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rick-cli/rick/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

What's in the binary.

01
160+ providers
Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, local Ollama and a whole models.dev catalogue. OAuth device-code for ChatGPT & Copilot, API keys everywhere else.
/auth
02
16 built-in tools
read write edit bash grep glob apply_patch task and more. Atomic multi-file patches — if one hunk fails, nothing is written.
/tools
03
You hold the leash
Every tool call resolves to allow, ask or deny. Glob rules per command; writes outside the project auto-upgrade to ask.
/permissions
04
Undo that actually works
A shadow git repo snapshots your tree before every mutating tool. /undo rolls back without touching your real history, branches or index.
/undo
05
Subagents & swarms
Spawn read-only explore scouts or full general agents with the task tool. Coordinate swarms over mesh, star, ring or pipeline.
task
06
MCP + plugins
Manage MCP servers live — no restart. Every server tool lands next to the built-ins as <server>_<tool>.
/mcp
07
Themes, instantly
Five built-ins — pickle-rick, rick-black, evil-rick, rick-neon, synthwave. Install any theme from a file or URL, no restart.
/theme add
08
Sessions that resume
Sessions persist per directory and pick up where you left off. /compact summarises with the small model, keeps the last two exchanges verbatim.
/sessions
09
Fast & self-updating
Go binary, instant startup, streaming everything. /update applies the latest release safely; /uninstall does FULL or PART removal.
/update
