Ane is a chord-based terminal code editor with a novel 4-part chord system combining actions, positions, scopes, and components for precise code editing. It uniquely supports both interactive TUI and headless CLI modes for AI agents, with native LSP integration and tree-sitter syntax highlighting. The project aims to bridge human and agent code editing efficiency through a composable, language-server-aware chord paradigm.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, data engineers
