Engineered for prefix-cache stability, it allows developers to keep it running for extended periods, providing a consistent and reliable AI assistant for coding tasks. This versatile agent supports multiple interaction methods, including a command-line interface (CLI), a dedicated desktop application, browser access, and editor integration via the Agent Communication Protocol (ACP).\n\nKey features include:\n*   **Config-driven**: Providers, agents, tools, and plugins are all declared in `reasonix.toml`, supporting various models without hardcoding.\n*   **Multi-model & composable**: DeepSeek is a preset, but any OpenAI-compatible endpoint can be configured. It can optionally run two models together (executor + planner) in separate, cache-stable sessions.\n*   **Plugin-driven**: MCP servers contribute tools, prompts, and resources, while Extension Protocol v1 sidecars can intercept runtime events and provide structured UI.\n*   **Cache-aware context maintenance**: Optimizes context by injecting stable environment summaries and pruning stale tool output.\n*   **Zero-friction distribution**: Distributed as a single Go binary, cross-compilable to multiple targets, making installation straightforward.\n\n## Installation\n\nReasonix offers several installation paths depending on your preferred usage. The CLI/TUI, desktop app, and VS Code extension all utilize the same local Reasonix engine.\n\n### Path A: CLI / TUI\n\nInstall the native binary globally via npm or Homebrew on macOS:\n\nsh\nnpm i -g reasonix                  # any OS; pulls the prebuilt native binary\nbrew install esengine/reasonix/reasonix   # macOS\n\n\nPrebuilt archives for various platforms are also available on every [GitHub release](https://github.com/esengine/DeepSeek-Reasonix/releases \"GitHub Releases\" target=\"_blank\").\n\n### Path B: Desktop App\n\nFor the desktop application, visit the [official download page](https://reasonix.io/?download=desktop#start \"Reasonix Desktop App Download\" target=\"_blank\") to get the latest build for your platform (macOS, Windows, Linux).\n\n### Path C: VS Code Extension\n\nFirst, complete Path A to install the CLI. The VS Code extension enhances your development experience by starting your local `reasonix acp` backend, adding native chat, editor context, tool-call approvals, model selection, and workspace sessions.\n\n*   **VS Code**: [Install from Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SivanLiu.reasonix-agent \"VS Code Marketplace\" target=\"_blank\")\n*   **VSCodium / Eclipse Theia**: [Install from Open VSX Registry](https://open-vsx.org/extension/SivanLiu/reasonix-agent \"Open VSX Registry\" target=\"_blank\")\n\n### Path D: Build from Source\n\nTo build from source, clone the repository and follow the instructions:\n\nsh\ngit clone https://github.com/esengine/DeepSeek-Reasonix.git\ncd DeepSeek-Reasonix\n\n\nThe CLI build requires Go 1.25+. Use `make build` for the CLI or `make cross` for cross-compilation. Desktop builds require Node 24+, pnpm 10, and the Wails CLI.\n\n## Examples\n\nOnce installed, you can quickly get started with Reasonix using these commands for the CLI/TUI:\n\nsh\nreasonix setup                      # configure a provider and model\nreasonix                            # start an interactive session\nreasonix run \"implement the TODOs in main.go\"\n\n\nIn an interactive session, use `/init` to have Reasonix create project instructions. For the desktop app, simply launch it after installation and configure your provider and model within the application.\n\n## Why Use It\n\nDeepSeek-Reasonix stands out as a robust AI coding agent for several reasons:\n*   **Persistent Autonomy**: Its prefix-cache stability allows you to leave it running, providing continuous AI assistance without constant restarts.\n*   **Flexible Workflows**: Whether you prefer the terminal, a dedicated desktop app, or integration directly into your VS Code editor, Reasonix adapts to your development environment.\n*   **Advanced Control**: Features like plan mode, permissions, a workspace sandbox, and per-turn checkpoints give you fine-grained control over autonomous runs, allowing for review and undo capabilities.\n*   **Extensible and Customizable**: With its config-driven and plugin-driven architecture, you can easily integrate various models and extend its functionality to suit specific needs.\n*   **Simplified Deployment**: Distributed as a single, self-contained Go binary, it offers zero-friction distribution across different operating systems.\n*   **Community Support**: A vibrant bilingual Discord community is available for setup help, workflow showcases, and feature ideas.\n\n## Links\n\n*   **GitHub Repository**: <a href=\"https://github.com/esengine/DeepSeek-Reasonix\" target=\"_blank\">https://github.com/esengine/DeepSeek-Reasonix</a>\n*   **Official Website**: <a href=\"https://esengine.github.io/DeepSeek-Reasonix/\" target=\"_blank\">https://esengine.github.io/DeepSeek-Reasonix/</a>\n*   **Discord Community**: <a href=\"https://discord.gg/XF78rEME2D\" target=\"_blank\">https://discord.gg/XF78rEME2D</a>\n*   **VS Code Extension**: <a href=\"https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SivanLiu.reasonix-agent\" target=\"_blank\">https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SivanLiu.reasonix-agent</a>\n*   **Desktop App Download**: <a href=\"https://reasonix.io/?download=desktop#start\" target=\"_blank\">https://reasonix.io/?download=desktop#start</a>","metrics":{"detailViews":1,"githubClicks":1},"dates":{"published":null,"modified":"2026-08-26T16:14:38.000Z"}}
