How to build a code-hosting app on Enroute with a coding agent with Enroute

Give a coding agent the Enroute skills and have it build a small code-viewing app chapter by chapter.

Remote script. The npx command installs skills from the enroute-sh/enroute repository into your coding agent, so review what the agent will run.

Who it is forA developer who wants to build a custom code-hosting or code-review app and would rather delegate the scaffolding to a coding agent.

The problemStarting a custom Git-based application means learning the Git protocol, the hooks and the API before anything shows on a page.

The outcomeA local project where an app shows code and diffs from repositories hosted on Enroute.

What you need first

  • Linux or macOS on Apple silicon, or Docker to run the published image
  • git installed on your machine
  • A terminal and, for hooks, a language you can write a small server in

Steps

  1. Run npx skills add enroute-sh/enroute in your project folder.
  2. Start a local node with enroute dev if one is not already running. (inferred, check the README)
  3. Ask your coding agent to follow docs/build/README.md from the enroute-sh/enroute repository, one chapter at a time.
  4. Push a test repository with git push http://127.0.0.1:8080/hello.git main and open the app to check that code and diffs appear. (inferred, check the README)

Prompt for your agent

Run `npx skills add enroute-sh/enroute` in <project-dir>, then follow docs/build/README.md from the enroute-sh/enroute repository to build a code-hosting app. Expected output: a local app that shows code and diffs from a repository pushed to http://127.0.0.1:8080. Verify by pushing a test branch and confirming it appears in the app.

Caveat. The README describes the build guide as a chapter-by-chapter path, but it does not promise a finished product, so expect to write the app code yourself.
