Plandex is an open-source, terminal-based AI coding agent that plans and executes large, multi-step coding tasks across many files in real-world projects. It supports large context windows, tree-sitter project maps for indexing big codebases, and a diff review sandbox that keeps AI changes isolated until approved.

Use cases

• refactor code across dozens of files with an AI agent
• have an AI plan and implement a multi-step feature in my repo
• review AI-generated diffs before applying them to my project
• work on a large codebase with an AI coding assistant in the terminal
• self-host an AI coding agent for my team
• let an AI fix bugs across a real-world project

When to choose

• you need an AI agent that handles large, multi-file tasks with big context windows
• you prefer a terminal-based workflow with git integration
• you want AI changes sandboxed and reviewed before applying
• you want a self-hostable, MIT-licensed coding agent

When to avoid

• you only need simple single-file autocomplete or inline completions
• you want a GUI or IDE plugin experience
• you don't want to rely on LLM API access or costs
