How does Vesper Code actually work?

Vesper Code runs multiple agents, each tuned for a specific task.

The Orchestrator

The main agent ("Vesper") reads your prompt, gathers context, and spawns subagents. Publicly, the CLI has one normal working mode and a /plan toggle for planning-only sessions.

  • Normal - reads code, edits files, runs commands, and reviews changes
  • Plan - gathers context and returns a plan without file writes

Subagents

  • File Picker — finds relevant files
  • Code Searcher — grep-style pattern matching
  • Researcher — web and docs lookup
  • Thinker — works through hard problems
  • Editor — writes and modifies code
  • Reviewer — catches bugs and style issues
  • Commander — runs terminal commands

The Pipeline

  1. Tree-sitter scans your repo and builds a code map
  2. File pickers and searchers find relevant code
  3. Thinkers analyze the problem if needed
  4. Editors generate changes
  5. Reviewers check for issues; commanders run tests

The server is stateless. It streams requests to the active model provider over encrypted connections. Your code stays local; only relevant context is sent.
