• To regenerate the JavaScript SDK, run ./packages/sdk/js/script/build.ts.
• The default branch in this repo is main.

Commits and PR Titles

Use conventional commit-style messages and PR titles: type(scope): summary.

Valid types are feat, fix, docs, chore, refactor, and test. Scopes are optional; use the affected package or area when helpful, e.g. core, tinycode, tui, app, desktop, sdk, or plugin.

Examples: fix(tui): simplify thinking toggle styling, docs: update contributing guide, chore(sdk): regenerate types.

Style Guide

General Principles

• Keep things in one function unless composable or reusable
• Do not extract single-use helpers preemptively. Inline the logic at the call site unless the helper is reused, hides a genuinely complex boundary, or has a clear independent name that improves the caller.
• Avoid try/catch where possible
• Avoid using the any type
• Use Bun APIs when possible, like Bun.file()
• Rely on type inference when possible; avoid explicit type annotations or interfaces unless necessary for exports or clarity
• Prefer functional array methods (flatMap, filter, map) over for loops; use type guards on filter to maintain type inference downstream
• In src/config, follow the existing self-export pattern at the top of the file (for example export * as ConfigAgent from "./agent") when adding a new config module.

Reduce total variable count by inlining when a value is only used once.

// Good
const journal = await Bun.file(path.join(dir, "journal.json")).json()

// Bad
const journalPath = path.join(dir, "journal.json")
const journal = await Bun.file(journalPath).json()

Destructuring

Avoid unnecessary destructuring. Use dot notation to preserve context.

// Good
obj.a
obj.b

// Bad
const { a, b } = obj

Variables

Prefer const over let. Use ternaries or early returns instead of reassignment.

// Good
const foo = condition ? 1 : 2

// Bad
let foo
if (condition) foo = 1
else foo = 2
