Features

• AI-assisted code editing and generation.
• Session-based workflow for organized development.
• Preflight checks to ensure the project is consistent before prompting.
• Post-patch checks with automated model feedback and retry on failure.
• Undo, retry and re-edit steps in the session.
• Built on libtenx, a Rust library for building AI-assisted coding tools.

Ethos

• Built with an uncompromsing focus on expert developers.
• Rigorous benchmarks to track the performance of our system prompt and interaction protocol against all current models.
• Supports all practically useful models.

Next up

The first relese of tenx is a minimal viable product. The next steps are:

• Improved sessions and session management
• System prompt customization
• More models (Gemini)
• Git commit dialect to generate commit messages
• Imrovements to our prompts and dialects, driven by benchmarks
• Neovim plugin based on libtenx
