# Sketch

Sketch is an agentic coding tool focused on the Go programming language.
Sketch runs in your terminal, has a web UI, understands your code, and helps you get work done.
To keep your environment pristine, sketch starts a docker container and outputs
its work onto a branch in your host git repository.

To get started:

```sh
go install sketch.dev/cmd/sketch@latest
sketch
```

## Requirements

Currently sketch runs on macOS and linux.
It uses docker for containers.

macOS: `brew install colima` (or an equivalent, like Docker Desktop or Orbstack)
linux: `apt install docker.io` (or equivalent for your distro)
WSL2:  install Docker Desktop for Windows (docker entirely inside WSL2 is tricky)

The [sketch.dev](https://sketch.dev) service is used to provide access
to an LLM service and give you a way to access the web UI from anywhere.

## Development

## Open Source

Sketch is open source.
It is right here in this repository!
Have a look around and mod away.

If you want to run sketch entirely without the sketch.dev service, you can
set the flag -skaband-addr="" and then provide an `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`
environment variable. (More LLM services coming soon!)
