Coding with Coding Agents & Nimbalyst

---

Nimbalyst integrates a UI for coding agents like Claude Code and Codex directly into your markdown workspace.

Nimbalyst's Two Modes

Chat Mode: AI sidebar for quick questions and targeted edits. Good for:

• Explaining code

• Small edits to the current document

• Quick lookups

Agent Mode: Full-screen autonomous coding. Good for:

• Multi-file refactors

• Implementing features from a plan

• Running tests and fixing failures iteratively

• Running multiple sessions in parallel

Code Editor with Diff Visualization

When the AI edits code or a a document, changes appear inline:

• Green background: Added content

• Red background: Removed content (with strikethrough)

Accept/Reject:

• Accept All: Keeps all changes

• Reject All: Reverts to original content

Changes remain visible until you accept or reject them.

Inline edit cards in the transcript

Both Claude Code's Edit tool and Codex's file_change tool render as red/green edit cards directly in the session transcript, so you can see exactly what the agent did to each file as the turn unfolds.

Edit cards work for:

• New files (rendered as a single-color "added" card)

• Existing files (red lines for removals, green for additions)

• Gitignored or never-snapshotted files

• Renamed and deleted files
