Coder: a workspace for agent-assisted development

Why this project

It was on the weekly GitHub Trending page on 2026-09-25. The official README says Coder is for cloud development environments and AI coding agents, and describes bringing models through its agent workflow. We selected it because a workspace is a natural place to run a small AIWave helper without moving customer keys into the editor.

Run a small workspace helper

python -m pip install openai
export AIWAVE_API_KEY="your-aiwave-key"
python - <<'PY'
from openai import OpenAI
import os
client = OpenAI(base_url="https://aiwave.live/v1", api_key=os.environ["AIWAVE_API_KEY"])
r = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-v4-flash",
    messages=[{"role":"user","content":"Summarize the latest test failure in two bullets."}],
    max_tokens=120,
)
print(r.choices[0].message.content)
PY

Run this inside a Coder workspace after checking the workspace’s network policy. For native Coder model configuration, follow the project’s current AI Gateway documentation; do not assume a custom endpoint field exists in every release.

Guardrails

• Keep the key in the workspace secret store or environment, not a template.
• Send only the error excerpt needed for diagnosis.
• Use request recovery for API failures.
