What it does

Dao-code is a TypeScript terminal coding agent that provides ultra-cheap cache pricing for startup founders with 1M context support and deep integration with DeepSeek-V4

When to use it
  • •When you need a coding agent that can handle large context sizes and provide cost-effective cache pricing
  • •When you want to leverage the strong price-performance of DeepSeek-V4 in your coding workflow
  • •When you require a self-correction layer and cross-session memory in your coding agent
Ready-to-paste prompt
Run the agent with a prompt like `dao-code --context-size 1000000 --deepseek-v4-config path/to/config.json --code-prompt 'Fix the syntax error in this JavaScript code: ...'`
Heads up: Ensure you have a compatible version of Node.js and TypeScript installed, and that you have properly configured your DeepSeek-V4 setup to work with dao-code, as specified in the README
