Autonomous mode, which approves every tool call, is the default.\n\n**Qoder CLI.** A closed-source terminal agent with a documented headless mode, an ACP server, typed TypeScript and Python SDKs and near-daily releases. Permission rules and modes are detailed, but no local sandbox is documented, usage statistics are on by default, and security fixes appear only as one-line release notes with no advisories or disclosure policy.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### goose\n\n1. Set `GOOSE_MODE=smart_approve` or `approve` before a run. The default approves everything, and the first-run prompt preselects Auto\n2. Pass `--max-turns` with a real limit. The default is 1000\n3. Set `SECURITY_PROMPT_ENABLED=true` when the task reads web pages or untrusted repositories\n4. Use `--output-format json` and `--no-session` in CI, and check the exit code\n5. Point remotes and links at aaif-goose/goose and goose-docs.ai. The block/goose paths redirect\n\n### Qoder CLI\n\n1. Set `QODER_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN` in CI. The browser sign-in can't complete in a headless run\n2. Pass `--permission-mode` with `--allowed-tools` in headless runs. Every ask is denied, and `--yolo` removes all checks\n3. Set `--max-turns` on unattended runs, and branch on exit codes 41 (authentication) and 53 (turn limit)\n4. Set `privacy.usageStatisticsEnabled` and `aiCodeStatistics.enabled` to false in ~/.qoder/settings.json if usage data must stay local\n5. Don't pass `--model lite`. The Lite tier was removed on 18 September 2026 and headless requests naming it fail\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, goose or Qoder CLI?\n\ngoose scores 73.9 (BB) on agent readiness against Qoder CLI's 59.3 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Are goose and Qoder CLI open source?\n\ngoose is open source (Apache-2.0).
