# PaneVibe agent guide

PaneVibe is a terminal-first IDE for coding agents. Treat the PTY stream as the source of truth and the chat UI as a projection.

## Ground rules

- Prefer the user's installed CLI when one exists; PaneVibe intentionally does not replace its agent loop.
- Preserve user MCP servers by merging configuration rather than using a strict replacement config.
- Keep new capabilities in dedicated modules and bound slow I/O away from the async runtime.
- Do not add telemetry, crash beacons, license checks, or unrequested network paths.
