Local AI-powered Coding Environment with Automatic Versioning

Vibe enables natural “conversation-driven coding” entirely on your own machine. A Flutter mobile app connects to your development environment over SSH, runs Gemini CLI interactively, and automatically checkpoints every code change using Vibegit, a lightweight Git-based patch system.

You get the same control and interactability as Gemini CLI — but portable, remote, and version-tracked.

Purpose: Maintain lightweight, human-readable “checkpoints” of project state as Git patches.

Google’s official command-line tool for Gemini models. Runs inside the SSH session, providing full interactive REPL (multi-turn chat, diff previews, edits).

Role in System: All AI code editing happens here. No API integration required. Any file modifications Gemini makes are visible to vibe watch.

Responsibilities:

• Read .vibes/tracked.json (marked directories).

• Use fsnotify to monitor file changes recursively.

• When changes occur:

  • Wait for a quiet period (debounce ~5 seconds).
  • Trigger handleSave() with message "Auto-save: Gemini edit".

Behavior Example:

[INFO] Change detected in ~/projects/app1/lib/main.dart
[INFO] Waiting for changes to settle...
[INFO] Auto-saving as new vibe...
Vibe [1730814502] saved: Auto-save: Gemini edit

Libraries:

• dartssh2 — persistent SSH connection
• xterm.dart — terminal emulator widget
• get or riverpod — lightweight state management
• Optional: flutter_ansi — colorized terminal text rendering

Responsibilities:

• Establish SSH connection automatically at startup.

• Launch an interactive PTY session (bash).

• Auto-run:

  vibe watch &
  gemini

• Render Gemini output live with full colors.

• Parse [VIBE]-tagged messages from stdout to show:

  • Auto-save notifications
  • Vibe history feed
  • Connection and daemon logs

UI Concept:

┌──────────────────────────────┐
│ Gemini CLI (live stream)     │
│ > Implement login with Supabase ...│
│ ...                          │
│ [VIBE] Vibe [1730814502] saved │
├──────────────────────────────┤
│  Connected: ~/projects/app1  │
│  Auto-saves: Enabled         │
└──────────────────────────────┘

1. You mark a project:

   vibe mark ~/projects/myapp
   

2. Launch the Flutter app. It connects via SSH → runs vibe watch & gemini.

3. You start prompting Gemini normally:

   Add a responsive navbar with search field
   

4. Gemini edits project files in ~/projects/myapp.

5. vibe watch detects file changes, waits a few seconds, and executes:

   vibe save "Auto-save: Gemini edit"
   

6. The Flutter app displays:

   [VIBE] Auto-saved vibe: "Auto-save: Gemini edit"
   

7. You continue chatting with Gemini; every file change is versioned locally.

.vibes/tracked.json

{
  "projects": [
    "/home/ishaan/projects/myapp",
    "/home/ishaan/projects/portfolio"
  ]
}

.vibes/log.json

[
  {
    "id": 1730814502,
    "message": "Auto-save: Gemini edit",
    "timestamp": "2025-11-05T19:20:00"
  }
]

You get a local-first AI coding assistant with:

• True Gemini CLI interactivity
• Continuous local version tracking
• Seamless remote mobile interface

A minimal, elegant “AI-paired terminal” that feels like Copilot + Time Machine for your own codebase.
