3 use cases

  • Edit a large codebase in a fast native editor

    Open a big project in a native, Rust-built editor that stays responsive on large views.

    View prompt
    Using the dstrml/wu repo, install Wu on this machine and open <project-path> in it. Expected output: the project tree visible in the Wu editor. Verify that a large file in the project opens without visible delay.

  • Hand a coding task to a built-in coding agent

    Use Wu's agent workspace with Claude Code or Codex to draft changes inside your project.

    View prompt
    In the dstrml/wu repo context, open <project-path> in Wu and use the built-in Claude Code or Codex agent to make this change: <task>. Expected output: a proposed edit to <file-path>. Verify by reading every changed line before saving.

  • Check Wu's memory use against your current editor

    Read the memory benchmark and measure your own setup before moving a machine to Wu.

    View prompt
    Clone the dstrml/wu repo and read docs/memory-benchmark.md. Expected output: a short summary of how the benchmark measured memory and which editors it compared. Verify that the summary names each editor compared.
