01 / EDIT

Stay in flow.

Vim-inspired modes, motions, text objects, splits, and pickers feel immediately familiar. Tree-sitter highlighting and asynchronous language tools keep pace as projects grow.

agent workflow

Let the agent help.
Keep the final say.

Red can give an agent the context it needs, including unsaved buffers, while staging every suggested write in an isolated proposal filesystem. Review the diff, then accept or reject it explicitly.

every agent edit is a proposal —
nothing touches your files until you accept it
