README

AI Code Assistant CLI (Mini Cline)

English | 中文

A simplified implementation inspired by Cline (https://github.com/cline/cline), the autonomous coding agent. This mini version demonstrates the core concepts of AI-assisted coding through a command-line interface.

Inspiration

This project is a tribute to Cline, the powerful VS Code extension that enables AI-assisted coding. While Cline offers a full-featured IDE integration with capabilities like browser automation and GUI interactions, this mini version focuses on demonstrating the basic concepts through a simple CLI interface.

Quick Demo

Here's how it works:

Demo Screenshot

In this example:

  1. Run npm run demo to start the interactive mode
  2. Type your request in natural language (e.g., "创建一个最简单的html，页面上显示helloword")
  3. The AI will create the file for you (e.g., helloworld.html was created)
  4. Type 'exit' to quit

It's that simple! Just tell the AI what you want to do in natural language.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v22)
• npm
• An API key for either Claude or DeepSeek

Quick Start

  1. Install dependencies: $ npm install

  2. Create .env file and add your API key: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_claude_api_key_here or DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=your_deepseek_api_key_here

  3. Start using it: $ npm run demo

That's it! Now you can start talking to the AI assistant.
