Codee

Codee (**/koʊˈdiː/**) is an AI-powered programming tool. The name is derived from the words "Code" and "engineer".It is your professional code engineer!

Key Features of Codee

Including code writing and editing, command-line operations, MCP usage, AI model configuration, and more.
Added internationalization support for the interface, including multiple languages: English, 简体中文.
Added automatic code completion functionality. You need to configure the model yourself, preferably one optimized for coding, to achieve outstanding results!
Optimized system prompts to reduce token consumption and minimize context length usage in large models

Getting Started and Model Configuration

Please read the guidance document carefully!

The Vision of Codee：Where Coders Shine Brighter | 让开发者永远发光

Imagine such mornings: Beside a still-warm coffee mug, developers converse with Codee as naturally as collaborating with an old friend. When a human says “Help add risk control rules to the payment module using the pattern we discussed last week,” the AI already understands the business objectives, team conventions, and even yesterday’s meeting notes within context.

This is our future:
◼ When repetitive code becomes AI’s responsibility, developers finally stand tall, freely exploring under the starlight of architectural design
◼ During lonely late-night debugging sessions, Codee becomes an tireless guardian: "Concurrency issue risks detected - three solutions prepared"
◼ Every code review transforms into a creative workshop - humans focus on strategic insights while AI presents executable solutions in real-time

Codee will achieve:
✓ Code Assurance: Master 20+ team coding styles to make AI-generated code reach senior engineer-level quality
✓ Zero-Lag Innovation: Reduce prototype development time from architecture design by 80%, turning inspiration into reality instantly
✓ Full Automation: Free your hands - you command, Codee executes

We don’t believe in “replacement” - we create “rebirth”: When AI handles tactical labor, developers become true digital poets - weaving business insights into verse, composing new chapters through system design, defining software engineering’s renaissance through human-AI collaboration.

Future Directions for Codee

Add codebase indexing and introduce a local vector database. This will enable local code retrieval, enhance Codee’s ability to handle cross-file operations, and improve accuracy in writing business logic with context.
Leverage MCP to customize Agents, transforming Codee from an AI programming tool into a versatile AI tool.

Setting Up Your Own LLM Server for Codee

This is optional. You can directly use third-party large model services like openrouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, or Deepseek.com.

Option 1: Personal Computer

You can install inference tools like Ollama or lmstudio to provide inference services. For example, installing qwen2.5-coder:32B is workable, though quantized performance may suffer.
Codee can directly access the inference server.

Option 2: Professional GPU Server

You can use vllm or sglang for inference, with a gateway layer like oneAPI or oneHub to control the large model services.
Codee accesses the gateway to obtain services.

Local Development Instructions

Clone the repository: bash git clone https://code.y5ops.com/coders/codee
Open the project in VSCode: bash code codee
Install the extension and necessary dependencies for webview-gui: bash npm run install:all
Press F5 (or Run -> Start Debugging) to launch a new VSCode window with the extension loaded. (If you encounter issues during the build, you may need to install the esbuild problem matchers extension.)

Thanks

Thanks to the Cline project. It is the first AI programming tool to use the Agent to solve programming problems, and its concepts and technology are truly remarkable! Codee is forked from the Cline project.
Thanks to the Continue project. Its autocompletion feature is the best among all open-source AI programming projects! Codee's autocompletion is inherited from Continue.
