dgc-sdk

Run the DGC coding agent inside your own Python application or CI job. Version 0.6.9, editor protocol v14, pairs with DGC CLI 0.46.0. Python 3.10+, proven on Linux.

python3 -m pip install dgc-sdk==0.6.9

This installs import dgc_sdk. It is not the unrelated PyPI project dgc.

The SDK drives a dgc serve process from a DGC CLI install, which it finds on its own (dgc on PATH, ~/.local/bin/dgc, or the installer's versions directory). Install the CLI:

curl -fsSL https://vibedgc.com/install.sh | bash

To pin a different install, set DGC_PYTHON to its Python, for example export DGC_PYTHON="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$(command -v dgc)")")/python".

Point DGC_MODEL and DGC_BASE_URL at an OpenAI-compatible endpoint (for example a local Ollama at http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1), then run this from the repository you want summarized:

import os
import tempfile

from dgc_sdk import DGC

with DGC(
    state_dir=tempfile.mkdtemp(prefix="dgc-sdk-"),
    model=os.environ["DGC_MODEL"],          # for example "qwen3:8b"
    base_url=os.environ["DGC_BASE_URL"],    # for example "http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1"
    api_key=os.environ.get("DGC_API_KEY"),  # only when the endpoint needs a key
) as dgc:
    session = dgc.session(cwd=".", permissions={"mode": "plan", "unhandled": "deny"})
    result = session.run("Summarize this repository in two sentences. Do not edit files.")
    print(result.status, result.final_text)
    if result.error:
        print("error:", result.error)

It prints completed and the summary. Each DGC client keeps its conversations, checkpoints and logs in state_dir, an isolated HOME; your own ~/.dgc is not touched, and an SDK-created temporary state_dir is removed on close().

For untrusted input (a pull request, a cloned repo) the workspace cannot grant the session capabilities: its own .dgc/permissions.json allow rules and .dgc/agents are ignored unless you pass trust_workspace=True. Add a RuntimePolicy to sandbox the shell and confine the file tools, and see the security model in docs/SDK.md.
