# DeepCode vs paperclip

DeepCode and paperclip share 10 technologies: Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Vite, React, MCP, xterm, Lucide, react-markdown, and remark-gfm. DeepCode is written in Python and paperclip in TypeScript.

- [HKUDS/DeepCode](https://seerepo.com/r/HKUDS/DeepCode): "DeepCode: Open Agentic Coding (Agent Harness & Loop Engineering & Multi-Agent Orchestration)"
- [paperclipai/paperclip](https://seerepo.com/r/paperclipai/paperclip): The open-source app everyone uses to manage agents at work

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Vite, React, MCP, xterm, Lucide, react-markdown, remark-gfm
- Only in DeepCode: AIOHTTP, Tauri, @tauri-apps/api, Rich, prompt-toolkit, reportlab, pypdf, loguru, tauri-plugin-dialog, monaco-editor, prism-react-renderer, tauri-apps
- Only in paperclip: Express, Postgres, AWS S3, Tokio, Sentry, Svix, react-router-dom, yaml, Zod, @opentelemetry/resources, @clack/prompts, Drizzle, hmac, jsonschema, Ajv, @daytonaio/sdk, three, Better Auth, ai, @ai-sdk/amazon-bedrock, sharp, dompurify, ajv-formats, opentelemetry, pino, Tailwind CSS, class-variance-authority, tailwind-merge, Radix UI, motion, dnd-kit, lexical, @lezer/highlight, Base UI, cmdk, CodeMirror, Mermaid, react-resizable-panels, @assistant-ui/react

## Side by side

| | DeepCode | paperclip |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 252,336 lines written, 487 code files | 3,133,031 lines written, 5,090 code files |
| Who writes it | 14.5% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex | 17% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot |
| Activity | Last push November 2, 2026, 759 commits, 16,814 stars | Last push November 4, 2026, 5,942 commits, 111,002 stars |
| Tests | 346 test files. 70.8% of its code files have a test that imports them | 4,571 test files. 60.3% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
