Practical overview
When it fits
Use it after or during an agentic coding task when a review, repair, and recheck cycle is useful. Its documented invocation accepts a provider, an optional project target, and a goal containing the desired result, constraints, and success checks.
Who it is for
- Developers using supported coding agents
- Teams adding automated review and repair stages to agentic coding tasks
- Builders seeking a CLI-based quality gate before accepting generated code
Documented uses
- Review an agent’s completed coding work
- Repair issues detected during review
- Recheck the repaired result
- Add iterative verification to supported coding-agent workflows
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and identifies an MIT license. Installation is documented through an npm package URL or from source. The requirements include Node.js 20+, Python 3.11+ with PyYAML, and Bash 4.3+ on macOS or Linux.
- Supported integrations include Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Kilo Code, VS Code, Prime Agent, Oh My Pi, DeepSeek Harness, Reasonix, Hermes Agent and Grok Build.
- The listed provider versions passed Linux runs, while model and platform availability varies by provider.
- A measured OpenCode Terminal-Bench 2.1 run reported 73 of 89 tasks solved with Autoprompt versus 60 of 89 without it.
- The project describes an expected increase in time and token use; those figures are planning estimates rather than measured benchmark results.
- The evidence does not establish compatibility outside the documented provider list and custom-agent guidance.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install Autoprompt for a supported coding agent
Install the CLI and configure it for a documented coding-agent provider.
Before you start
- Node.js 20 or later
- Python 3.11 or later available as python3 or python
- PyYAML
- Bash 4.3 or later on macOS or Linux
- Git only when using the GitHub checkout method
Steps
Install the CLI from the documented GitHub release package with npm, or clone the repository and install it from source.
Launch the installer with autoprompt.
Choose a coding agent and confirm its path.
For another CLI or IDE, choose Custom coding agent and consult the compatibility guide.
Expected outcome
The installer configures Autoprompt for the selected coding agent.
Guide limitations
- The listed working versions passed Linux runs; model and platform availability varies by provider.
- The evidence does not establish compatibility with coding agents beyond the documented support list and compatibility guide.
