How to run a coding agent on a real project from one desktop app with Pinvou Agent

Bring Codex, Claude Code, or Kimi into a project through ACP and review its plans and file changes.

Who it is forA developer who wants a coding agent to edit a real repository while keeping plans, commands, and file changes visible in one window.

The problemCoding agents often run in separate terminals, so it is hard to see their plans, permission requests, and file edits in one place.

The outcomeA coding session bound to a project folder, with plans, tool steps, permission requests, and file changes shown in the workspace and kept after an app restart.

What you need first

  • Git with submodule support
  • Node.js and npm
  • A current Rust toolchain
  • Tauri 2 system dependencies for your platform (see https://v2.tauri.app/start/prerequisites/)
  • An accessible OpenAI-compatible model endpoint, such as local vLLM

Steps

  1. git clone --recursive https://github.com/Pinvou/pinvou-agent.git
  2. cd pinvou-agent/pinvou3-app
  3. npm ci
  4. cd ..
  5. ./pinvou3-app/run-dev.sh

Prompt for your agent

Using the Pinvou/pinvou-agent repo, start the desktop app with run-dev.sh, open Code mode, and attach the project at <project-path> to a Codex or Claude Code session over ACP. Expected output: a session bound to that folder that shows a plan and at least one file change. Verify that the session still appears after restarting the app.

Caveat. The README names Codex, Claude Code, and Kimi as ACP agents but does not say how to install or sign in to them, so you must set those up separately.
