All text below is quoted directly from the project README.
>Open source AI coding agent. Designed for large projects and real world tasks.
Smart context management that works in big projects:
- 2M token effective context window with default model pack. Plandex loads only what's needed for each step.
- Reliable in large projects and files. Easily generate, review, revise, and apply changes spanning dozens of files.
- Fast project map generation and syntax validation with tree-sitter. Supports 30+ languages.
- Context caching is used across the board for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google models, reducing costs and latency.
- Configurable autonomy: go from full auto mode to fine-grained control depending on the task.
- Automated debugging of terminal commands (like builds, linters, tests, deployments, and scripts).
- Full-fledged version control for every update to the plan, including branches for exploring multiple paths or comparing different models.
- Git integration with commit message generation and optional automatic commits.
