Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it from a project directory when you want terminal-based file exploration and AI coding help informed by workspace or selected-file context.

Who it is for

  • Developers who want to explore project structure and file contents from a command-line interface.
  • Programmers seeking natural-language assistance with code after providing workspace or file context.

Documented uses

  • Inspect a project's directory structure with `/tree`.
  • Gather context for the current workspace or a selected file.
  • Ask questions about code structure or request help modifying code.
  • List, display, create or append to files and navigate or create directories.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The documented setup requires an API key and supports an API base URL and model setting. The project is open source under Apache-2.0.

  • The README recommends providing context through /#, /context or /tree before asking for code modifications.
  • Configuration supports an API key, base URL and model; the listed default base URL is the OpenAI API.
  • The repository describes the project as early-stage and under active development.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Install and configure LLMCode

Prepare the Python command-line assistant and configure its API connection.

Before you start

  • Python environment capable of installing the listed dependencies
  • An API key

Steps

  1. Clone the repository using the project’s current installation instructions.

  2. Install dependencies with the command below.

    Documented command
    pip install -r requirements.txt
  3. Start the assistant with the command below.

    Documented command
    python main.py
  4. At the prompt, configure the key with /config set apiKey YOUR_API_KEY.

Expected outcome

The README describes a running interactive assistant with an API key configured; its configuration also supports a base URL and model.

Guide limitations

  • The README installation command names futureHQ/LLMCode.git, while the repository source URL is under syscalldev/LLMCode; confirm the current clone path.
  • The project labels itself early-stage and under active development.
Source-based practical guide

Gather project context before asking for code help

Provide workspace or file context before asking the assistant about code.

Before you start

  • LLMCode started in the project directory

Steps

  1. Use /# or /context to gather context from the current workspace, or run /context for a specific file.

  2. Alternatively, run /tree to inspect the project structure.

  3. Ask a natural-language question about the project or request help with a file.

Expected outcome

The README examples show the assistant responding to questions about project structure or a function after context is provided.

Guide limitations

  • The README advises providing context before requesting code modifications.
  • Examples in the README do not establish independently verified results.
