Web Shell

Access XandAI through a web browser with real-time interaction:

# Start web shell server
xandai> /host 0.0.0.0 -p 4800

# Open browser at http://localhost:4800
# Interact with XandAI through a modern web interface
# Terminal and web interface work simultaneously

Features:

  • Real-time communication using WebSocket
  • Modern terminal-like interface
  • Execute all XandAI commands through browser
  • Accessible from any device on your network
  • Works alongside the terminal interface

Agent Mode

The /agent command is a powerful multi-step LLM orchestrator that chains multiple AI calls to handle complex tasks:

# Fix code with systematic analysis
/agent fix the bug in main.py where the loop never terminates

# Complex refactoring
/agent refactor this monolithic code into modular components

# Detailed explanations
/agent explain how the authentication system works

Pipeline stages:

  1. Intent Analysis - Classifies the task type
  2. Context Gathering - Identifies needed information
  3. Task Execution - Performs the main work
  4. Validation - Verifies output quality
  5. Refinement - Improves based on validation (if needed)

When to use /agent:

  • Complex multi-step tasks
  • Code requiring analysis and validation
  • Tasks needing structured reasoning
  • When quality matters more than speed

See example/agent_demo.md for detailed examples.

Note: The /task command has been deprecated. Use natural conversation instead for better results.

File Operations

XandAI can intelligently create and edit files with AI assistance:

Creating Files

Simply ask to create a file with a specific name:

xandai> create tokens.py with authentication functions
# AI generates complete code
# System detects filename automatically
This looks like a complete python file. Save it? (y/N): y
Filename: tokens.py
File 'tokens.py' created successfully!

Editing Files

Edit existing files by name:

xandai> edit index.py adding a health endpoint
# AI reads current file content
# Generates complete updated version
Edit file 'index.py'? (y/N): y
File 'index.py' updated successfully!

Smart Detection

The AI automatically:

  • Reads files when editing (preserves existing code)
  • Extracts filenames from your request
  • Provides complete file content (never placeholders)
  • Only prompts when you explicitly request file operations

Supported Formats

Works with any programming language:

xandai> create app.js with Express server
xandai> edit styles.css adding dark mode
xandai> create config.json with API settings

Code Execution

XandAI can detect and execute code in various languages:

xandai> create a math.py that will receive two args and sum them
# AI generates complete Python script with argument handling
This looks like a complete python file. Save it? (y/N): y
Filename: math.py
File 'math.py' created successfully!

xandai> python math.py 2 2
$ python math.py 2 2
2.0 + 2.0 = 4.0
Command completed successfully

Features:

  • Automatic code detection for Python, JavaScript, Bash, and more
  • Interactive execution mode for scripts requiring input
  • Non-interactive capture mode for automation
  • Smart prompts for user choice between modes

Code Review

AI-powered code review with Git integration. Analyzes your code changes and provides detailed feedback on security, quality, and best practices.

xandai> /review
# Automatically detects Git changes and provides comprehensive analysis

Code Review Example

Git AI Commands

AI-powered Git operations that run outside the REPL:

# Generate commit message from staged changes
git add .
xandai commit

# Summarize a pull request
xandai pr --base main --head feature-branch

# Explain diff in plain English
xandai diff
xandai diff --file src/app.py
xandai diff --commit-hash abc123

# Explain why a line exists (git blame)
xandai blame --file src/main.py --line 42

These commands use AI to:

  • Generate descriptive commit messages from your staged changes
  • Summarize pull requests with changes, risks, and impact
  • Explain diffs in plain English instead of technical patch format
  • Explain the purpose and history of specific lines of code

Web Integration

Automatically fetches and analyzes web content when you paste links:

xandai> /web on
xandai> How does this work? https://docs.python.org/tutorial
# Content is automatically fetched and analyzed

LSP Integration

Language Server Protocol integration provides real-time code intelligence and syntax validation:

xandai> /lsp on                # Enable LSP integration
xandai> /lsp                   # Show status and active servers
xandai> /lsp analyze main.py   # Analyze file for errors

Supports 15+ languages including Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Rust, Go, Java, C/C++. Install LSP servers:

# Python-based servers
pip install -r requirements-lsp.txt

# All servers (interactive)
./scripts/install_lsp_servers.sh        # Linux/Mac
.\scripts\install_lsp_servers.ps1       # Windows

# Specific language
./scripts/install_lsp_servers.sh python
.\scripts\install_lsp_servers.ps1 javascript

Features:

  • Automatic language detection
  • Real-time diagnostics and error detection
  • Type-aware code suggestions
  • Project-specific conventions
  • AI prompts enriched with LSP context
