live-edit 0.1.0

Natural-language-driven live code editing for any web application

live-edit

Natural-language-driven live code editing, powered by an AI agent loop — not a thin LLM wrapper.

It watches you code. Then your users change it. Then it commits. All through natural language, with full git isolation.

It's not a chatbot strapped to your codebase.

A pure LLM wrapper does one thing: prompt → response. live-edit runs a full agent loop — the model reads files, searches code, makes edits, observes results, retries on failure, and commits. Your users see a friendly chat; your git log sees clean commits.

Three modes, one engine:

Mode	Who	How
quick	Non-technical users	Each write waits for approval, errors translated to plain language
deep	Developers	Agent works autonomously, final diff gets approved as a batch
qa	Anyone learning	Read-only tools, code analysis only

Install

pip install live-edit
cd your-project/
live-edit init

Wire it up (2 lines)

from live_edit import setup_live_edit
app.include_router(setup_live_edit())

<script src="/live-edit/static/live-edit.js"></script>

Press Ctrl+Shift+D to open the editing panel.

Customize

Swap any component — LLM provider, storage backend, version control:

from live_edit import Provider, Storage, VCS, setup_live_edit

app.include_router(setup_live_edit(
    provider=MyProvider(),
    storage=MyStorage(),
    vcs=MyVCS(),
))
