Overview

Open-source terminal AI coding agent for large, multi-step software tasks across real-world codebases.

Details

Plandex is an open-source terminal AI coding agent for large, multi-step software tasks across real-world codebases. The supplied official sources describe support for planning, diffs, command execution, and local self-hosting. Its documentation includes a quickstart for installation, hosting options, model-provider setup, and starting the Plandex REPL with `plandex` or `pdx`; the self-hosting guide describes a client-server architecture and local-mode setup using the GitHub repo, Docker, and the CLI.

When to Use

Use for large, multi-step coding tasks that need planning and reviewable diffs across an existing codebase. Use when a terminal-based AI coding workflow and local self-hosting option are important. Use when you want an open-source AI coding agent with documented quickstart and self-hosting guides.

Getting Started

Read the official quickstart at https://docs.plandex.ai/quick-start/.
Install Plandex and choose a hosting option as described in the quickstart.
Configure a model provider, then start the Plandex REPL with `plandex` or `pdx`.
For local self-hosting, follow the local-mode self-hosting guide using the GitHub repo, Docker, and the CLI.
