Readme
The AI coding agent that lives in your terminal.
One key. Every model. Your plan.
Plan, write, refactor, debug and ship — without leaving the shell.
npm install -g vinuscli → vinusWhy VinusCLI
A hands-on coding agent, not a chatbot. It reads and writes your files, runs commands, previews every change as a diff, and improves itself by writing its own skills — all in a fast, beautiful terminal UI.
One Vinus key unlocks every frontier model through a single hosted endpoint, billed as a flat subscription with fair-use credits — never per token.
| | |
|---|---|
| 🧠 Any model, one key | GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral… one hosted endpoint, with an automatic fallback chain. |
| 🛠️ Real tools | Read/write files, run shell, web_search, github_search, fetch_url. |
| 🎚️ Autonomy dial | Plan · Manual · Auto — switch at any time. |
| 📚 Smart skills | 21 curated coding packs (debugging, TDD, GitHub, design, RE…), auto-suggested for the task at hand — and the agent writes its own so it never forgets. |
| 🔌 Connectors | GitHub, Canva, Notion, Linear, IDA Pro over MCP. |
| 🔍 Reverse engineering | First-class IDA Pro / Ghidra workflow. |
| 🖍️ Visual diffs | Green/red previews before anything touches disk. |
| 🎨 Themes | Vinus (signature) · Aurora · Graphite · Phosphor · Ember. |

Operating modes
| Mode | Command | Behaviour |
|------|---------|-----------|
| ◇ Plan | /plan | Read-only. Investigates and returns a numbered plan — never writes or runs. |
| ◈ Manual | /manual | Acts, but asks your approval every time. |
| ◆ Auto | /auto | Full autonomy — pauses only when genuinely unsure. |
The current mode is always visible in the prompt.
Skills & connectors
Skills are progressive-disclosure knowledge packs — light in the prompt, deep on demand. Connectors plug external services in over MCP; their tools become the agent's tools.
/skills # list bundled skills, grouped by category
/skills install all # pull the official set
/connect github # OAuth in the browser → repos, PRs, issues
/mcp # add any MCP serverBuilt-in connectors: GitHub · Canva · Notion · Linear · IDA Pro.
