The AI coding agent in your terminal — one key for every model.
Sign in, create a Vinus key, and pick a plan with generous included usage — no per-token math. GPT, Claude, Gemini and more through one hosted Vinus endpoint, straight from the CLI.
Every frontier model. One key.
One Vinus key, with an automatic fallback chain.
Features
Not a chatbot. An operator.
Everything an engineer does in a shell, the agent does too — with your approval, at the level you choose.
Any model, one key
GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral… every frontier model through one hosted Vinus endpoint, with an automatic fallback chain when one is down.
Real tools, real work
Reads and writes files, runs shell commands, searches the web and GitHub, fetches URLs. Work happens in your repo, not in a sandbox.
Diffs before disk
Every change is previewed as a green/red visual diff before it touches your files. You stay in control, Claude-Code style.
Self-improving skills
Progressive-disclosure knowledge packs. 21 bundled — and the agent writes its own when something is worth remembering.
Your Vinus key
A Vinus account issues a vk- key for our OpenAI-compatible API — usage billed as fair-use credits, never per token. Paste it into the CLI with /login and you're connected.
Reverse engineering
First-class IDA Pro / Ghidra workflow: decompile, cross-reference, patch — straight from the conversation.
Demo
Watch it work.
A real VinusCLI session — it plans, edits with a diff, runs the build, and ships.
Operating modes
Autonomy is a dial, not a switch.
Switch at any time — the current mode is always visible in the prompt.
Plan
/planRead-only. Investigates your codebase and returns a numbered plan — never writes a file, never runs a command.
Manual
/manualActs, but asks. Every write, delete and shell command needs your explicit approval before it happens.
Auto
/autoFull autonomy. Ships end-to-end and only pauses when genuinely unsure about a destructive step.
Skills
An agent that remembers what it learns.
Skills are progressive-disclosure knowledge packs: a name and one line in the prompt, the full playbook loaded only when needed.
Progressive disclosure
Light in the prompt, deep on demand — skills keep the context window lean.
Self-authoring
When the agent solves something hard, it writes the skill so it never has to re-derive it.
One command away
/skills lists them, /skills install all pulls the official set on top of the 21 bundled ones.
Connectors
Plugged into your stack.
Connect external services on demand — their tools become the agent's tools.
GitHub
Repos, pull requests, issues.
Canva
Posters, CVs and slides from chat.
Notion
Pages and databases, agent-ready.
Linear
Issues and projects from the terminal.
IDA Pro
A loaded binary becomes a conversation.
Any MCP
Bring your own server with /mcp.
