Vesper Code — AI Coding Agent

Vesper Code is a CLI tool that writes code for you.

1. Run vesper from your project directory
2. Tell it what to do
3. It will read and write to files and run commands to produce the code you want

Note: Vesper Code will run commands in your terminal as it deems necessary to fulfill your request.

Installation

To install Vesper Code, run:

npm install -g vesper-code

(Use sudo if you get a permission error.)

Usage

After installation, you can start Vesper Code by running:

vesper [project-directory]

If no project directory is specified, Vesper Code will use the current directory.

Once running, simply chat with Vesper Code to say what coding task you want done.

Features

• Understands your whole codebase
• Creates and edits multiple files based on your request
• Can run your tests or type checker or linter; can install packages
• It's powerful: ask Vesper Code to keep working until it reaches a condition and it will.

Our users regularly use Vesper Code to implement new features, write unit tests, refactor code, write scripts, or give advice.

Knowledge Files

To unlock the full benefits of modern LLMs, we recommend storing knowledge alongside your code. Add a knowledge.md file anywhere in your project to provide helpful context, guidance, and tips for the LLM as it performs tasks for you.

Tips

1. Type '/help' or just '/' to see available commands.
2. Create a knowledge.md file and collect specific points of advice.
3. Type undo or redo to revert or reapply file changes from the conversation.
4. Press Esc or Ctrl+C while generating a response to stop it.

Troubleshooting

If you are getting permission errors during installation, try using sudo:

sudo npm install -g vesper-code

If you still have errors, it's a good idea to reinstall Node.
