Deep Code CLI is an open-source terminal-based AI coding assistant optimized for DeepSeek-V4 models, supporting deep thinking mode, reasoning effort control, Agent Skills, and MCP integration. It provides a persistent, project-scoped coding loop with file read/write/modify/execute capabilities and shares configuration with a companion VS Code extension.

Use cases

• ai coding assistant in the terminal for deepseek models
• understand an unfamiliar codebase and explain its flow
• add unit tests and fix failing tests automatically
• enable thinking mode and reasoning effort control for deepseek-v4
• extend the assistant with custom agent skills and mcp tools
• resume persistent coding sessions per project
• use an openai-compatible model endpoint for coding tasks

When to choose

• you primarily use DeepSeek models and want a CLI coding agent tuned for them, including thinking mode and KV-cache cost savings
• you want an agentic terminal workflow with persistent sessions, file operations, command execution, and /undo
• you need extensibility via Agent Skills and MCP servers

When to avoid

• you need a GUI-first coding assistant rather than a terminal tool
• you rely on multimodal input, since deepseek-v4 lacks vision support
• you want a model-agnostic agent with first-class support for non-OpenAI-compatible providers
