Deep Code CLI

Vibe coding for the deepseek-v4 model, in your terminal.

Install

npm install -g @vegamo/deepcode-cli

Then run deepcode inside any project directory.

Configure

Create ~/.deepcode/settings.json:

{
  "env": {
    "MODEL": "deepseek-v4-pro",
    "BASE_URL": "https://api.deepseek.com",
    "API_KEY": "sk-..."
  },
  "thinkingEnabled": true,
  "reasoningEffort": "max"
}

The same settings file is shared with the Deep Code VSCode extension.

Skills

Skills live in:

• ~/.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (user-level)
• ./.deepcode/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (project-level)

Inside the TUI press / to open the skill picker, or type the skill name directly (e.g. /skill-writer).

Shift+Enter	Insert a newline (also Ctrl+J)
Ctrl+V	Paste an image from the clipboard
Esc	Interrupt the current model turn
