🚀 Features

• 🖥️ 3-Segment Layout & Responsive Drawer: Real-time context header (tokens, RAM, latency, provider/model), scrollable history viewport with collapsible blocks, sidecar drawer panel (F2 / Ctrl+B), and dynamic multi-line composer.
• ⚡ Headless & Pipe Mode: Full CLI non-interactive operation (xdh -p "prompt", --pipe, cat file | xdh -p "..." > out) without launching the full TUI.
• 🛡️ Configurable Permission Modes: --safe (strict confirmation on state changes), --auto (default guard against destructive commands), and --yolo (unconstrained speed).
• 🔌 Model Context Protocol (MCP): Native stdio JSON-RPC 2.0 MCP client integration. Configure servers in ~/.xdharness/mcp.json or /mcp add, with automatic dynamic tool discovery.
• 📑 AST Code Structure Outline: Fast structural inspections via AST / multi-language pattern parser (code_outline and /outline <file>).
• 💾 Rollback Checkpoints: Instant snapshots of entire workspaces before refactors (manage_checkpoint and /checkpoint create|restore|list).
• 🚫 .xdhignore & .gitignore Filters: Full workspace scanning exclusion support across search, tree, and index tools.
• ⏰ Autonomous Task Scheduling: Schedule recurring autonomous agent triggers via /schedule <interval_sec> <task>.
• 🎯 Reusable Skills System: Built-in create_skill & call_skill engine. Define, discover, and run skills via /skill list, /skill run <name>, or autonomous agent calls.
• 🤖 Multi-Agent Orchestration: Built-in create_agent & spawn_agents. Launch multiple specialized subagents concurrently in parallel threads to solve tasks cooperatively.
• 🔌 Dynamic Plugin Management: Add, install from git repositories, delete, and manage community or personal plugins via /plugin.
• ❓ Interactive User Question Prompting: Agents can invoke ask_question with selectable options to clarify ambiguity during execution.
• ⚡ Mid-Run User Guidance Interruption: Send a message or press ESC / Ctrl+C while an agent is executing to immediately pause, incorporate guidance, and pivot smoothly.
• 🛡️ Fault-Tolerant Resilience: 5-stage connection retry backoff with automatic provider failover.
• ♾️ Unconstrained Autonomous Execution: Removed artificial tool round limits for complex pipelines.
• 🎨 Curated Color Palettes: tokyo_night, dracula, catppuccin, monokai, nord, cyberpunk, gruvbox, and solarized.
• 📱 Mobile & Termux First: Smooth step-scroll animation for touch gestures, compact mini-banners for narrow viewports (<70 cols), and zero heavy C-extension dependencies.
• 🧠 Context Optimization: Automatic message history compaction when nearing token capacity thresholds.

📦 Installation

From Source (Git)

git clone https://github.com/PwnedBytes0x1/xdh.git
cd xdh
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

Direct Execution

python3 -m xdh --version

Termux Quick Setup

pkg update && pkg install python git -y
git clone https://github.com/PwnedBytes0x1/xdh.git
cd xdh
pip install -r requirements.txt
ln -s $(pwd)/xdh.py $PREFIX/bin/xdh
chmod +x $PREFIX/bin/xdh
xdh

⚡ Quick Start

1. Launch xdh:

   xdh
   

2. Configure Your Provider & Key: Type /settings inside the interface or edit ~/.xdharness/config.json. You can switch providers dynamically:

   xdh ❯ /provider openrouter
   xdh ❯ /model anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet
   

3. Interact: Type plain language prompts to instruct the agent to inspect files, execute tests, refactor code, or run background builds.

⌨️ Slash Commands

⌨️ Keybindings

• Tab: Auto-complete slash command / accept ghost suggestion.
• Right Arrow: Accept ghost suggestion at line end.
• Up / Down: Navigate history or smooth-scroll conversation viewport.
• F2 / Ctrl+B: Toggle sidecar drawer pane (swarm stats, MCPs, checkpoints, tasks).
• ESC / Ctrl+C: Interrupt running generation / halt active task.
• Ctrl+T: Cycle color themes dynamically.
• Ctrl+P: Cycle configured AI providers.
• Ctrl+O: Toggle block collapse (compact vs expanded summary).
• Ctrl+L: Clear current viewport.
• Ctrl+J: Insert newline in composer without submitting.
• Ctrl+Q: Save session and quit.
