vibe-llama

vibe-llama is a set of tools that are designed to help developers build working and reliable applications with LlamaIndex, LlamaCloud Services and llama-index-workflows.

This command-line tool provides two main capabilities:

Context Injection: Add relevant LlamaIndex context as rules to any coding agent of your choice (think Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot etc.). You select a coding agent and the LlamaIndex services you're working with, and vibe-llama generates rule files that give your AI assistant up-to-date knowledge about APIs, best practices, and common patterns.

Once you've made your choice, vibe-llama will generate a rule file for your coding agent. For example, if you selected Cursor, a new rule will be added to .cursor/rules. Now, all of the context and instructions about your chosen LlamaIndex service will be available to your coding agent of choice.

Workflow Generation: An interactive CLI agent that helps you build document-processing workflows from scratch. Describe what you want in natural language, provide reference documents, and get complete workflow code with detailed explanations.

Installation

User settings

You can install and run vibe-llama using uv:

uvx vibe-llama@latest --help

Or you can use pip to install it first and run it in a second moment:

pip install vibe-llama

Developer settings

Clone the GitHub repository:

git clone https://github.com/run-llama/vibe-llama
cd vibe-llama

Build and install the project:

uv build

For regular installation:

uv pip install dist/*.whl

For editable installation (development):

# Activate virtual environment first
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Unix/macOS

# Then install in editable mode
uv pip install -e .

Usage

vibe-llama is a CLI command, and has the following subcommands:

starter

starter provides your coding agents with up-to-date documentation about LlamIndex, LlamaCloud Services and llama-index-workflows, so that they can build reliable and working applications! You can launch a terminal user interface by running vibe-llama starter and select your desired coding agents and services from there, or you can directly pass your agent (-a, --agent flag) and chosen service (-s, --service flag) from command line interface.

Use the -v/--verbose flag (independently from TUI or CLI) if you want verbose logging of what processes are being executed while the application runs.

Use the -w/--overwrite flag (works only from CLI) if you want to overwrite local files with the incoming ones downloaded by vibe-llama starter. On the TUI, you will be prompted to choose whether you want to overwrite existing files or not.

Example usage

vibe-llama starter # launch a TUI
vibe-llama starter -a 'GitHub Copilot' -s LlamaIndex -v # Select GitHub Copilot and LlamaIndex and enable verbose logging
vibe-llama starter -a 'Claude Code' -s llama-index-workflows -w # Select Claude Code and llama-index-workflows and allow to overwrite the existing CLAUDE.md

docuflows

docuflows is a CLI agent that enables you to build and edit workflows that are oriented to intelligent document processing (combining llama-index-workflows and LlamaCloud).

In order to use this command, you need to first set your OpenAI API key and your LlamaCloud API key as environment variables. Optionally, if you wish to use Anthropic LLMs, you should also set the Anthropic API key in your environment.

On MacOS/Linux

export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-api-key"
export LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY="your-llama-cloud-api-key"
# optionally, for Anthropic usage
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-anthropic-api-key"

On Windows

Set-Location Env:
$Env:OPENAI_API_KEY = "your-openai-api-key"
$Env:LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY = "your-llama-cloud-api-key"
# optionally, for Anthropic usage
$Env:OPENAI_API_KEY = "your-anthropic-api-key"

Once you have the needed API keys in the environment, running vibe-llama docuflows will start a terminal interface where you will be able to interactively talk to the agent and create or edit document-centered workflows with the help of it.

Example usage

vibe-llama docuflows

[!NOTE]

vibe-llama docuflows uses AGENTS.md as an instructions file (located under .vibe-llama/rules/). If you wish, you can directly create AGENTS.md with the starter command, by selecting vibe-llama docuflows as your agent. Alternatively, if an AGENTS.md is not present in your environment, vibe-llama docuflows will create one on the fly.

During an open session with docuflows, you will be prompted to configure your LlamaCloud settings (project and organization ID are required for this step), and then you will be able to create or edit workflows.

During the editing or generation process, you will be asked to provide reference files for your workflow (e.g. an invoice file if you are asking for an invoice-processing workflow), so make sure to prepare them.

Once the workflow generation/editing is finished, you will be able to save the code and the code-related explanation in a folder that will be created under generated_workflows/. In the folder you will find a workflow.py file, containing the code, and a runbook.md file, containing instructions and explanations related to the code.

SDK

vibe-llama also comes with a programmatic interface that you can call within your python scripts.

VibeLlamaStarter

To replicate the starter command on the CLI and fetch all the needed instructions for your coding agents, you can use the following code:

from vibe_llama.sdk import VibeLlamaStarter

starter = VibeLlamaStarter(
    agents=["GitHub Copilot", "Cursor"],
    services=["LlamaIndex", "llama-index-workflows"],
)

await starter.write_instructions(
    verbose=True, max_retries=20, retry_interval=0.7
)
