✨ What is DevPilot?

DevPilot is a native desktop AI coding agent that puts you in control.
Connect to any major LLM provider, spin up a full agentic coding loop with tool execution and context management, and work with your code — all inside a single polished app.

🚀 Key Features

🤖 Multi-Provider LLM Support

Connect to the model that works best for you — and fail over automatically if one goes down.

Provider		Provider
OpenAI	✅	DeepSeek	✅
Anthropic	✅	Qwen	✅
Google Gemini	✅	GLM / ZhiPu	✅
Kimi	✅	MiniMax	✅
VolcEngine	✅	OpenRouter	✅
LiteLLM	✅

Automatic failover keeps your workflow moving when a provider has issues.

🔁 Full Agent Loop

• Tool execution — the agent can run tools, read/write files, and shell commands
• Context compaction — smart summarization to keep conversations within token limits
• Checkpoint & rewind — snapshot your session and roll back at any time

🖥️ Built-In Developer Environment

• Integrated terminal — powered by xterm.js + portable-pty
• Monaco editor — the same editor that powers VS Code
• File tree — browse and navigate your project at a glance
• Split view — see code and chat side by side

🔍 Code Intelligence

• Symbol index powered by tree-sitter
• Languages supported: Rust, TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go
• Jump to definitions, search symbols, and explore code structure

🧠 Persona & Memory System

Define who your agent is and what it remembers:

File	Purpose
SOUL.md	Agent personality and behavior rules
USER.md	Your preferences and context
MEMORY.md	Persistent knowledge store
AGENTS.md	Multi-agent configuration

🛠️ Skills System

Extend DevPilot with reusable skill definitions using the SKILL.md parser.
Create, share, and compose skills for common development workflows.

💬 Interaction Modes

Mode	Description
Code	Full agent — execute tools, edit files, run commands
Plan	Think before you act — agent creates a plan for your review
Ask	Quick Q&A with no side effects

📦 Data Portability

• Export / import your sessions, settings, and memory
• Claude Code session import — bring your existing conversations into DevPilot

🌐 Internationalization

Full support for English and Chinese (简体中文).

⌨️ Keyboard-First

Extensive keyboard shortcuts for power users. Stay in the flow.

🔄 Auto-Update

DevPilot checks for updates automatically so you always have the latest features.
