WindMist v1.0.0 — Autonomous AI Software Engineer for the Terminal

[Nithwin]

We are excited to announce the official v1.0.0 release of WindMist — an autonomous, stateless AI engineering agent running directly in your terminal.

🌟 Highlights & Key Features

• 🧠 Stateless Multi-Turn Agent Engine (internal/agent)

  • Robust, concurrent-safe multi-turn reasoning loop (Agent.Run) that coordinates generation, tool execution, and token accounting (ai.Usage) without internal state leakage.
  • Automatic turn limit enforcement (ErrMaxTurnsExceeded) to prevent runaway reasoning loops.

• 🛠️ 15 Built-in Filesystem & Editing Tools (internal/tools/...)

  • Filesystem Operations: read, write, append, delete, rename, list, create, info, and exists.
  • Precision Code Editing: replace_text, replace_range, delete_range, read_context, insert_text, and search_text.
  • Designed with explicit LLM usage instructions to prioritize precise, targeted range/text replacements over destructive full-file overwrites.

• ⚡ Native Gemini API Integration (internal/providers/gemini)

  • Full schema translation converting Go tool definitions (ai.ToolDefinition) directly into Gemini v1beta OpenAPI OBJECT schemas.
  • Accurate mapping of user prompts, model FunctionCall turn requests, and FunctionResponse execution outputs.

• 🎨 Dual CLI & Custom Terminal UI (cmd/windmist & internal/chat)

  • Interactive TUI: Run windmist directly for a custom Bubble Tea + Lip Gloss interface with streaming responses and markdown syntax highlighting.
  • Command-line Mode: Run windmist chat "<prompt>" for instant, non-interactive multi-turn task resolution.
