Leora Agent
Free AI coding agent for VS Code — powered by Puter.js. Use Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, and more directly in your editor without paying for API keys.
Features
- Multi-model support — Claude Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.6, GPT-4o, Gemini 2.5, DeepSeek, Mistral, and more
- Three modes — Chat, Edit, and Agent for different workflows
- Full coding toolkit — File read/write, search, diagnostics, terminal commands, git operations
- Approval-based safety — All file writes, terminal commands, and git mutations require your approval
- No API keys needed — AI calls go through Puter.js free tier. Just sign in once with a Puter account
- Privacy-first — Runs locally in VS Code. No telemetry, no data stored on external servers
- Project indexing — Automatic workspace indexing for context-aware responses
- Streaming responses — Real-time token streaming with syntax-highlighted code blocks
Quick Start
- Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace
- Open Leora from the Activity Bar (robot icon) or Command Palette (
Open Leora Agent)
- Sign in to Puter — Click the sign-in link in the panel, create a free account at puter.com

Modes
| Mode |
Description |
| Chat |
Ask questions, explain code, get suggestions. Read-only by default. |
| Edit |
Focused file modifications with unified diff preview and approval. |
| Agent |
Multi-step autonomous coding loop with tools, verification, and summary. |
Leora can interact with your workspace through these host tools:
- File operations — read, write, create, search, list, symbol search
- Code intelligence — diagnostics, preview diff, apply patch
- Terminal — run commands with captured output, background processes
- Testing — run tests, lint, build, compile, typecheck
- Git — status, diff, log, blame, stage, commit
All mutating operations require explicit approval before execution.
How It Works
Leora uses Puter.js, a free cloud platform that provides AI model access at no cost. Instead of requiring you to manage API keys from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google, Leora routes all AI calls through Puter's infrastructure.
You <-> VS Code Extension <-> Puter.js <-> AI Models (Claude, GPT, etc.)
Your code context stays local. Only the prompt and relevant file snippets are sent to the AI model for processing.
