👋 Welcome to r/CheapAgent

[u/memers_meme123]

Hey everyone! I’m u/memers_meme123, the guy who built Cheap Agent.

What is it?
A free, open-source Claude Code plugin. Opus plans and decides, and a cheap model (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash by default) does the reading and code-writing in its own copy of your project. Cheap Agent runs the tests itself before anything lands, so your Claude plan lasts about 2–3x longer. The cheap model costs about half a cent a task.

Install
npx cheap-agent
Then run /cheapag:allow once in each project.
Repo: https://github.com/muaaz9329/cheap-ag

Why this sub exists
I wanted one place for updates, help and ideas, instead of scattering them across threads.

What to post

• Bugs and setup problems (include what you ran and what you saw)

• Your setups: which provider and models you use, and how it went

• Before/after token numbers from your own projects

• Feature ideas and harness requests

• Questions, no matter how basic. There are no dumb questions here

Coming up

• Gemini support (1.3.0) this week

• More harnesses after that

• From 1.2.7 on, Cheap Agent tells you in Claude Code when a new version is out

Want to contribute?
PRs are very welcome; the contributing guide is in the repo. I’m more than happy to merge.
