Plandex - AI Coding Assistants Tool

Overview

Plandex is an open source, terminal-based AI coding agent built for large projects and real-world development tasks. It plans and executes complex, multi-step coding workflows across dozens of files and supports a massive 2M token context. Plandex uses tree-sitter for fast project mapping and syntax validation and offers configurable autonomy from fully automated execution to fine-grained cumulative diff review and automated terminal-command debugging.
