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
- Tree-sitter scans your repo and builds a code map
- File pickers and searchers find relevant code
- Thinkers analyze the problem if needed
- Editors generate changes
- 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.
