cisco

AI pair programming in your terminal

npm i -g the-cisco

Warning: Experimental and early stages of development.

I recommend using it in new folders with no sensitive files for now.

Usage (CLI)

cisco [options]

Options:
  -V, --version     output the version number
  -c, --cwd <path>  the path to the working directory (default: ".")
  -q, --quiet       stay silent (default: false)
  --verbose         print logs (default: false)
  -h, --help        display help for command

Use the /add [filename] or /drop [filename] commands to handle files in the context.

E.g. You have an existing project, then you might need to add files to the context.

Settings

Use the file ~/.env for global configuration.

Otherwise, use a .env file relative to where you run the commands.

If you use OpenAI API:

OPENAI_API_KEY = "sk-proj-abc123"

Your own API:

CISCO_URL = "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1"
CISCO_KEY = "sk-or-v1-abc123"
CISCO_MODEL = "deepseek/deepseek-chat"

Usage (Module)

const { execFileSync } = require('child_process')
const Cisco = require('the-cisco')

const cisco = new Cisco()

// This can be from user input, request, etcetera
const message = 'Create a Node.js script named temp.js that prints \
                the temperature of Argentina, Buenos Aires \
                without using libraries or requiring an API key. \
                Use a free API like open-meteo.com'

await cisco.receive(message)

// File created! You will have a ./temp.js file that you can run!
console.log(node('./temp.js'))

await cisco.receive('Change it to print the temperature of \
                    Santa Fe instead of Buenos Aires, \
                    update the log also.')

// File updated!
console.log(node('./temp.js'))

function node (filename) {
  return execFileSync(process.execPath, [filename], { encoding: 'utf8' })
}

API

cisco = new Cisco([options])

Create a new Cisco instance.

Options:

{
  url: process.env.CISCO_URL,
  key: process.env.CISCO_KEY || process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
  cwd: '.',
  interactive: false,
  quiet: true,
  verbose: false
}

await cisco.receive(message)

Completes the request of the message.

It will create or edit files automatically.

cisco.cancel()

Signal to cancel the current stream of the answer.

Can be used several times.

await cisco.commands.add(filename)

Add a new file for editing and context.

await cisco.commands.drop(filename)

Remove a file from the context.

cisco.files

List of current files in the context.

cisco.chat

History of messages.

Currently, it's stateless. E.g. Closing the terminal resets the chat.

Notes

There are more methods but I'm limiting the documentation.

API is not stable due very early stages of development.
