DevMando/MandoCode — reverse-engineered prompt
Reverse engineered prompt
Build me a terminal based AI coding assistant I can run on my own machine, with a clean interactive console experience and a guided first run setup. I want it to work with Ollama locally, and also let me connect to cloud models if I want, without making API keys a requirement. It should be able to understand a whole codebase, read and search files, suggest and apply edits, browse the web when needed, and help with planning bigger tasks instead of only answering chat prompts.
The big thing is safety. Any file change or delete should show me a clear diff first so I can approve or reject it before anything is written. I also want an easy way to reference files in chat with something like typing @ and picking files from the project.
Please make it work well for different file types, have a doctor or diagnostics command, and include setup help for model selection and context settings so local models do not get cut off. If you need details, check the current docs online too.
