Quickstart

Download Vyre IDE. Open the app and sign in. Then pick a folder and start with a small task.

curl -fsSL https://vyre.dev/keys | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/vyre.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install vyre

After you pick a folder, open Agent with Cmd I. Ask Vyre to explain the codebase and point out the main areas to read first.

"Explain this codebase. Point me to the main entry points, key modules, and anything I should read before making changes."

Vyre will search your repo, read relevant files, and summarize how the project fits together. This is one of the fastest ways to get oriented in an unfamiliar codebase.

Once you understand the project, ask Vyre to suggest a few safe improvements. Pick one and ask it to make the change.

"Suggest three small, safe improvements in this codebase. Explain the tradeoffs and wait for me to choose one."

Good first tasks are low risk, like improving some copywriting or fixing small UI issues.

Now you can watch Vyre work. The diff view shows changes made by the agent.

When it finishes, review the diff and ask Vyre to run the checks your project already uses. That can mean tests, the type checker, linting, or a local build.

Now that you know the basics, use Plan Mode for bigger changes. It works well when the task spans multiple files, needs research, or needs approval before coding.

Press Shift+Tab in the agent input to toggle Plan Mode. Instead of writing code right away, Vyre will:

1. Research your codebase to find relevant files
2. Ask clarifying questions about your requirements
3. Create a detailed implementation plan
4. Wait for your approval before building
