@cuylabs/agent-code

Coding-agent package built on @cuylabs/agent-core.

It gives you a ready-made coding toolset and a convenience package for starting from a coding-focused surface without rebuilding the common file and shell tools yourself.

Package Boundary

Use @cuylabs/agent-code when you want:

• the built-in coding tools
• defaultCodingTools for a full coding agent
• easy read-only or no-shell tool subsets
• a convenience package that re-exports agent-core

Use @cuylabs/agent-core directly when you need lower-level framework surfaces such as:

• middleware and prompt construction
• runtime helpers
• skills, profiles, and subagent composition
• non-coding toolsets or framework-level customization

Focused tool imports are available from @cuylabs/agent-code/tools.

Included Tools

Installation

npm install @cuylabs/agent-code ai @ai-sdk/openai
# or
pnpm add @cuylabs/agent-code ai @ai-sdk/openai

Quick Start

import { createAgent, defaultCodingTools } from "@cuylabs/agent-code";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const agent = createAgent({
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  cwd: process.cwd(),
  tools: defaultCodingTools,
});

const { response } = await agent.send(
  "session-1",
  "List the TypeScript files in src and summarize what each one does.",
);

console.log(response);

Choosing A Tool Set

Use the default set:

import { createAgent, defaultCodingTools } from "@cuylabs/agent-code";

const agent = createAgent({
  model,
  cwd: process.cwd(),
  tools: defaultCodingTools,
});

Or build a narrower agent:

import {
  createAgent,
  readTool,
  grepTool,
  globTool,
} from "@cuylabs/agent-code";

const readOnlyAgent = createAgent({
  model,
  cwd: process.cwd(),
  tools: [readTool, grepTool, globTool],
});

If you only want the tool surface:

import { defaultCodingTools, readTool } from "@cuylabs/agent-code/tools";

Relationship To agent-core

agent-code is the coding-tool layer. It does not own the lower-level agent framework semantics.

• agent-core owns sessions, middleware, runtime helpers, prompt construction, and tracing
• agent-code adds a coding-focused toolset and convenience defaults on top

So if your main need is “give my agent practical coding tools,” use agent-code. If your main need is “customize the framework internals,” use agent-core.
