Introduction
Coding Agent Template by Vercel is an open-source starter for building AI-powered coding agent platforms. It combines sandboxed code execution, AI Gateway integration and persistent task management to enable automated, auditable code changes driven by agents.
Key Features
- Multi-agent support: choose Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, Cursor CLI or opencode to run coding tasks.
- Vercel Sandbox: run code safely in isolated environments.
- AI Gateway integration: model routing and observability with Vercel AI Gateway.
- Automated branch and commit: AI-generated descriptive branch names with automated commits.
Use Cases
- Automated code refactoring and fixes: submit change requests and let agents apply updates.
- Documentation and example generation: quickly produce or refresh API docs and samples.
- CI-assist tasks: run changes in sandboxes and commit upon success.
Technical Highlights
- Tech stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS; Neon Postgres with Drizzle ORM for persistence.
- Extensible agent architecture: plugin-style agents to support different execution backends.
- Configurable environment: environment variables and migration scripts for database and credentials management.
