Codebuddy Code, inside Glueprint.

Tencent Cloud's official intelligent coding tool. Glueprint runs Codebuddy Code over the Agent Client Protocol it already speaks — adding live sessions on every device, approvals from your phone, parallel worktrees, schedules, and memory.

What is Codebuddy Code?

CodeBuddy Code is the command-line coding agent in Tencent Cloud's CodeBuddy lineup, a terminal-form tool aimed at professional engineers. It runs complex tasks from natural-language commands, with a Craft mode that autonomously edits files, runs terminal commands, executes tests, and manages dependencies, plus a Chat mode for codebase questions. It uses agentic semantic search across the whole codebase for context-aware work, and a 2.0 release added a Skills feature, plan mode, and ACP compatibility.

  • Built by Tencent Cloud as a terminal CLI agent
  • Craft mode for autonomous tasks, Chat mode for questions
  • Agentic semantic search over the full codebase
  • Sub-agents stored in .codebuddy/agents with custom tools
  • Skills, plan mode, and ACP support

Best for Professional engineers wanting an autonomous terminal coding agent with deep codebase awareness.

How Glueprint runs Codebuddy Code

Codebuddy Code connects over the open Agent Client Protocol — one generic adapter implements the protocol's client side, so Codebuddy Code gets the same surfaces as every other harness:

01

Glueprint spawns Codebuddy Code, not a fork

Glueprint finds the Codebuddy Code binary you installed and spawns it, then speaks the Agent Client Protocol — JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio — to drive it. Same CLI, same authentication; Glueprint just wraps the session.

02

Output streams as structure

Message chunks, tool calls, and tool-call updates from Codebuddy Code arrive as protocol notifications and render as the same live, typed timeline every Glueprint session gets — watchable from desktop, browser, or phone.

03

Permission requests become approval cards

When Codebuddy Code asks to write a file or run a command, the protocol's permission request surfaces as an inline approval card on whatever device you're holding. Approve, deny, or auto-allow per tool.

04

One adapter, the whole fleet

Because Codebuddy Code speaks ACP, adding it is a catalog entry, not an engineering project — the same adapter runs every other agent in the registry, so you can tile them side by side.

What Codebuddy Code gains inside Glueprint

Everything below works with the Codebuddy Code CLI you have today — no migration, no new account for the model, no lock-in. Uninstall Glueprint and your terminal workflow is exactly as it was.

Live sessions on every surface

Watch every Codebuddy Code prompt, tool call, and diff stream in real time — desktop, web portal, iOS and Android. The session runs on your machine; the view follows you.

Approve from your phone

Permission prompts arrive as approval cards wherever you are. Kick off a refactor at your desk, approve the file writes from the couch.

Parallel sessions across worktrees

Run several Codebuddy Code sessions side by side, each in its own git worktree, with diffs, history, and a three-pane conflict resolver alongside.

Mix harnesses in one mosaic

Tile Codebuddy Code next to Claude Code, Codex, and the rest of the ACP fleet in the Command Center. The protocol differs; the surface doesn't.

Codebuddy Code as a persistent assistant

Promote it to an assistant: persona, constitution, long-term memory, and a daily journal on disk, loaded into every wake.

Routines on a schedule

Wake it on cron: triage the inbox every 30 minutes, sweep PRs at 9am, run the nightly cleanup. Quiet hours and watermarks prevent re-fires.

Analytics per harness

Messages, sessions, and output tokens computed from session logs — compare Codebuddy Code against Claude Code, Codex, and your other ACP agents.

Encrypted to the relay

Remote viewing rides AES-256-GCM envelope encryption. The relay routes; it cannot read.

Codebuddy Code + Glueprint, asked plainly

Can I run Codebuddy Code with Glueprint?

Yes. Codebuddy Code is registered in the official Agent Client Protocol registry, and Glueprint implements the protocol's client side. It spawns the Codebuddy Code CLI you already installed and drives it over JSON-RPC 2.0 — adding live sessions, inline approvals, worktrees, and remote control.

Do I need a separate Codebuddy Code subscription or API key?

No. Glueprint doesn't resell model access. Codebuddy Code authenticates exactly the way its vendor designed — its own login, subscription, or API key. Glueprint spawns the binary and speaks the protocol; it doesn't sit between you and the model provider.

Can I run Codebuddy Code from my phone?

Sessions always run on your machines — a laptop, a desktop, or a server with the headless daemon. The iOS and Android app streams Codebuddy Code sessions live, lets you send follow-ups, and handles permission approvals from anywhere.

Can I run Codebuddy Code next to Claude Code and Codex?

Yes — that's the point. Each harness is an adapter; sessions from all of them tile into the same Command Center, share the same task boards, and roll up in the same per-harness analytics.

Is my session content private?

Yes. Remote viewing routes AES-256-GCM-encrypted envelopes through the relay, which stores a wrapped key it cannot open — decryption happens on your devices. On the free local tier, session content never leaves your machine at all. See security.
