ai-code

This package provides a uniform Emacs interface for various
AI-assisted software development CLI tools.  Its purpose is to
offer a consistent user experience across different AI backends,
providing context-aware code actions, and integrating seamlessly
with AI-driven agile development workflows.

URL: https://github.com/tninja/ai-code-interface.el

Supported AI coding CLIs include:
  - OpenAI Codex
  - Antigravity CLI
  - Opencode
  - Claude Code
  - GitHub Copilot CLI
  - Gemini CLI
  - Kilo
  - Grok CLI
  - Cursor CLI
  - Kiro CLI
  - CodeBuddy Code CLI
  - Aider CLI
  - agent-shell
  - ECA (Editor Code Assistant)

New User Quick Start:
  1) Minimal setup:

     (use-package ai-code
       :config
       (ai-code-set-backend 'codex)
       ;; Optional: use a narrower transient menu on smaller frames.
       ;; (setq ai-code-menu-layout 'two-columns)
       (global-set-key (kbd "C-c a") #'ai-code-menu))

  2) First 60 seconds:
     - C-c a a : Start AI CLI session
     - C-c a c : Ask AI to change current function/region
     - C-c a q : Ask question only (no code change)
     - C-c a z : Jump back to active AI session buffer

Basic configuration example:

(use-package ai-code
  :config
  ;; use codex as backend, other options are 'gemini, 'github-copilot-cli, 'opencode, 'kilo, 'grok, 'claude-code-ide, 'claude-code-el, 'claude-code, 'cursor, 'kiro, 'codebuddy, 'aider, 'agent-shell, 'eca
  (ai-code-set-backend 'codex) ;; set your preferred backend
  ;; Optional: use a narrower transient menu on smaller frames
  ;; (setq ai-code-menu-layout 'two-columns)
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-c a") #'ai-code-menu)
  ;; Optional: Try ghostel or eat as an backend infra
  ;; (setq ai-code-backends-infra-terminal-backend 'ghostel) ;; 'eat is another option
  ;; Optional: Disable @ file completion in comments and AI sessions
  ;; (ai-code-prompt-filepath-completion-mode -1)
  ;; Optional: Configure AI test prompting mode (e.g., ask about running tests/TDD) for a tighter build-test loop
  (setq ai-code-auto-test-type 'ask-me)
  ;; Optional: Disable numbered next steps for discussion prompts at send time
  ;; (setq ai-code-discussion-auto-follow-up-enabled nil)
  ;; Optional: In the AI session buffer (Evil normal state), SPC triggers the prompt entry UI
  (with-eval-after-load 'evil (ai-code-backends-infra-evil-setup))
  (global-auto-revert-mode 1)
  (setq auto-revert-interval 1) ;; set to 1 second for faster update
  )

Key features:
  - Transient-driven Hub (C-c a) for all AI capabilities.
  - One key switching to different AI backend (C-c a s).
  - Context-aware code actions (change code, implement TODOs, explain code, @ completion).
  - Agile development workflows (TDD cycle, refactoring navigator, review helper, Build / Test feedback loop).
  - Seamless prompt management using Org-mode.
  - AI-assisted bash commands and productivity utilities.
  - Multiple AI coding sessions management.

Many features are ported from aider.el, making it a powerful alternative for
developers who wish to switch between modern AI coding CLIs while keeping
the same interface and agile tools.
