Credentials. The API key for your provider must be supplied to Clux Mate, so store it in your CI secret store and not in the repository.
Who it is forA developer or CI maintainer who wants an agent to fix a small, well-defined problem in a repository without opening an interactive session.
The problemRoutine fixes such as a failing test or a small refactor take time to set up interactively, and scripts need a non-interactive way to call an agent.
The outcomeThe agent runs one prompt, edits the files it decides to change, and reports a result that you can review as a diff.
What you need first
- A CluxMate install (install steps are not in the README excerpt provided, so follow the README's install section)
- An OpenAI-compatible API endpoint, its base_url, and an API key
- A git repository for the project you want the agent to work on
Steps
- Install Clux Mate by following the install section of the README.
- Point Clux Mate at your provider by setting its base_url to an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, as the README describes.
- Run
cluxmate -p "Fix the failing unit tests in <path> and summarize what you changed"from the repository root. (inferred, check the README) - Run
git diffand read every changed file before you commit anything. (inferred, check the README)
Prompt for your agent
Use the CluxMate repo (r1c7/CluxMate) to run the headless command cluxmate -p with a prompt that targets <path>. Expected output: a short summary from the agent and a set of changed files. Verify with git diff that only files inside <path> changed and that the tests named in the prompt now pass.
Caveat. The README excerpt does not show the config file format or install commands, so confirm those in the full README before the first run.
