coding_agent

Overview ¶

Example: coding_agent — A full-featured autonomous coding agent.

This example demonstrates building a Cursor/Aider-style coding agent that can:

• Read, write, and search files using built-in file tools
• Execute shell commands (git, go build, tests, etc.)
• Use a vector database for semantic code search (RAG)
• Plan and implement multi-step coding tasks autonomously

What you'll learn:

• Wiring file tools, shell tools, and custom tools onto an agent
• Setting up VectorKnowledge with in-memory embeddings for code search
• Running an autonomous agent loop with MaxIterations
• Combining tools with system prompts for effective coding workflows

Prerequisites:

• Go 1.22+
• Set OPENAI_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for real LLM responses
• No API keys required to see the structure — falls back to a mock provider

Run:

go run ./examples/coding_agent/
