RLM Code v0.1.12: Experimental Native Coding Agent
RLM Code v0.1.12
This release introduces an experimental native coding-agent workflow for working directly on a repository
from the command line.
Give the agent a coding task and it can inspect the project, update files, run tests, and show its progress
as it works.
Highlights
- Start repository coding tasks with
rlm-code agent run - Maintain Python variables and working context between model turns
- Search, read, and update files under the configured approval policy
- Run project commands and tests through the selected sandbox
- See live Python activity, actions, approvals, usage, and final results
- Cancel work or constrain it with turn and time limits
- Resume saved root-agent sessions and supported Python state
- Continue using the existing research, benchmark, replay, and TUI workflows
Quick start
rlm-code agent run "fix the failing tests and add a regression test" \
--repository . \
--sandbox docker \
--approval confirm-high
Pass --model provider/model to choose a model explicitly, or omit it to use your configured default.
Resume a session using the ID displayed by the previous run:
rlm-code agent run "continue the task and rerun verification"
--repository .
--sandbox docker
--resume
Sandbox guidance
Docker is the recommended execution sandbox. Apple Container is also suitable when configured.
The local runtime is intended for development in trusted environments and does not provide a container
isolation boundary. Use --approval confirm-high or --approval confirm-all when working with repositories
you do not fully trust.
Current limitations
The native coding agent is experimental and currently operates as a single root agent. This release does
not yet include:
- Concurrent child agents
- Parent/child communication
- A live agent-tree view
- Replay or resume of a complete multi-agent hierarchy
