LiteCode is an AI-powered coding agent designed to perform multi-file code edits from plain English descriptions, specifically optimized for local and free-tier LLMs with limited 8k context windows. It's interesting because it uses a three-stage planner-orchestrator-executor architecture and generates human-readable project context maps to work within strict token budgets, enabling complex refactoring without expensive, high-context models.

Target audience: backend devs, frontend devs, full-stack devs
