Installation Instructions
All installation methods export a cecli command that can start the application. This project can be installed using several methods:
Linux & Mac
Use curl to download the script and execute it with sh:
curl -LsSf https://cecli.dev/install.sh | sh
If your system doesn't have curl, you can use wget:
wget -qO- https://cecli.dev/install.sh | sh

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://cecli.dev/install.ps1 | iex"
Package Installation
uv pip install --native-tls cecli-dev
or
pip install cecli-dev
Tool Installation
uv tool install --native-tls --python python3.12 cecli-dev
Use the tool installation so cecli doesn't interfere with your development environment

Project Roadmap/Goals
- Base Asynchronicity (cecli coroutine-experiment branch)
- Refactor codebase to have the main loop run asynchronously
- Update test harness to work with new asynchronous methods
- Repo Map Accuracy - Discussion
- Bias page ranking toward active/editable files in repo map parsing
- Include import information in repo map for richer context
- Handle non-unique symbols that break down in large codebases
- Context Discovery - Discussion - Done with Cymbal Library
- Develop AST-based search capabilities
- Enhance file search with ripgrep integration
- Implement RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) for better code retrieval
- Build an explicit workflow and local tooling for internal discovery mechanisms
- Context Delivery - Discussion
- Use workflow for internal discovery to better target file snippets needed for specific tasks (ExploreCode and ReadRange)
- Add support for partial files and code snippets in model completion messages
- Update message request structure for optimal caching
- TUI Experience - Discussion
- Add a full TUI (probably using textual) to have a visual interface competitive with the other coding agent terminal programs
- Re-integrate pretty output formatting
- Implement a response area, a prompt area with current auto completion capabilities, and a helper area for managing utility commands
- Agent Mode - Discussion
- Renaming "navigator mode" to "agent mode" for simplicity
- Add an explicit "finished" internal tool
- Add a configuration json setting for agent mode to specify allowed local tools to use, tool call limits, etc.
- Make the system prompts more aggressive about removing unneeded files/content from the context
- Add a plugin-like system for allowing agent mode to use user-defined tools in simple python files
- Add a dynamic tool discovery tool to allow the system to have only the tools it needs in context
- Sub Agents
- Add
/invoke-agentcommand to manually branch a sub agent and return a summary to the main context - Add an instance-able view of the conversation system so sub agents get their own context and workspaces
- Modify coder classes to have discrete identifiers for themselves/management utilities for them to have their own slices of the world
- Refactor global files like todo lists to live inside instance folders to avoid state conflicts
- Add a
Delegatetool that launches a sub agent as a background command that the parent model waits for to finish - Add visibility into active sub agent calls in TUI
- Hooks
- Add hooks base class for user defined python hooks with an execute method with type and priority settings
- Add hook manager that can accept user defined files and command line commands
- Integrate hook manager with coder classes with hooks for
start,end,on_message,end_message,pre_tool, andpost_tool
- Efficient File Editing
- Explore use of hashline file representation for more targeted file editing
- Assuming viability, update SEARCH part of SEARCH/REPLACE with hashline identification (Done with new edit format)
- Update agent mode edit tools to work with hashline identification
- Update internal file diff representation to support hashline propagation
- Dynamic Context Management (Accomplished with subagents, orchestrate, and the facts db)
- Update compaction to use observational memory sub agent calls to generate decision records that are used as the compaction basis
- Persist decision records to disk for sessions with some settings for managing lifetimes of such persistence
- Integrate RLM-like facility to extract information from decision records on disk and other definable notes
- Add a "describe" tool that launches a sub agent workflow that populates an RLM call's context with:
- Current Conversation History
- Past Decision Records
- Repo Map Found Files
- Quality of Life
- Add hot keys support for running repeatable commands like switching between preferred models
- Unified error message logging inside of
.ceclidirectory
