pu.sh is a coding-agent harness requiring only curl, awk, and an API key, with no npm, pip, or Docker.
Key Takeaways
Install via a single curl one-liner; no runtime dependencies beyond standard Unix tools.
Positions itself as a minimal “slop cannon” for running a coding agent from any shell environment.
The 400-line constraint is a deliberate design goal, keeping the entire harness pocket-sized.
Pronounced as written; the domain is pu.dev.
Hacker News Comment Review
Strong consensus that code readability was sacrificed to hit the 400-line target, with commenters calling the result minified and inscrutable.
The minification approach was flagged as a security risk, not just a style complaint, since auditing a shell script that runs with API keys becomes hard when the source is dense.
At least one commenter plans to test it inside a busybox container, treating the minimal-dependency design as a genuine feature for constrained environments.

@hkt: Plans to pair pu.sh with busybox in a container dev environment as a practical portability test.
