Deep Code is a terminal AI coding assistant optimized for deepseek-v4 models, emphasizing continuous coding flows such as asking questions, modifying code, and executing commands in the terminal. It provides a terminal CLI and a VS Code extension and supports deep thinking, reasoning effort control, Agent Skills, and MCP integration.
Key Features
- DeepSeek priority: tuned around deepseek-v4 models with thinking mode and reasoning effort control. Persistent sessions and project-level memory: sessions are saved per project to continue the same task. Tool-driven workflow: reads, modifies files, and executes commands within
Use Cases
- Understanding unfamiliar code and continuously asking, modifying, and executing around project context. Organizing and translating documents and advancing multi-step development tasks. Connecting existing team model services through custom OpenAI-compatible models. Switching
Getting Started
- Install the CLI with npm install -g @vegamo/deepcode-cli. Run deepcode in any project directory to start. Create ~/.deepcode/settings.json and configure MODEL, BASE_URL, API_KEY, thinkingEnabled, and reasoningEffort. Alternatively, install the VS Code extension; it shares the
Deployment & Requirements
- A usable terminal environment is required; the CLI is installed globally via npm. To use a model service, configure MODEL, BASE_URL, and API_KEY under env in ~/.deepcode/settings.json. The VS Code extension and CLI share the ~/.deepcode/settings.json configuration file.
