LearningCode — the coding agent that respects students

Quota

Every token, on screen.

Every turn spends quota and takes a seat — so the footer shows the price instead of hiding it. The only agent that tells a student what things cost.

Weekly budget meter

50% · 125k / 250k

Unlimited and no-cap states are shown honestly, never as /0K.

Session spend

sess 3k ≈$0.03

Priced per turn from the model catalogue. No rates? Tokens alone, never a made-up price.

Plan mode

Read first. Touch later.

Shift+Tab flips between research-only planning and full building. The model can read everything, but nothing changes until you approve.

1
Plan

Research only. Writers are hidden, and edits are refused with a reason.
2
Approve

Read the numbered steps, then /approve when you agree.
3
Build

Full access returns. Steps tick off as they finish.

What Plan mode allows

✓ Read files, search, list folders
✓ Read-only commands like git status and ls
✕ Edit or write files
✕ Install packages, commit, or delete

Refused actions say why, so you know exactly what to approve.

Helpers

Big jobs, a fresh mind.

Reading a dozen files to answer one small question fills the assistant's memory and makes it vaguer as it goes. A helper is a fresh copy of the assistant with its own clean memory — it does the reading, answers in a few lines, and forgets the rest.

One assistant. Every helper is a fresh copy with clean memory — it reads, works, and answers in a few lines, so the assistant's own memory stays short.

What you see

Which helper ran, and a one-line result — Ctrl+O opens the full answer
Several helpers at once, or one helper's answer chained into the next
Anything a helper changes is covered by /undo, like the assistant's own edits

Helpers need a model that can run more than one answer at a time, so they stay off on TLC-Spark. Switch with /model to use them.

Remote

Start on the laptop. Finish on the phone.

Run learningcode remote --resume in your project folder and scan the code. The agent keeps running on your computer, with its files, shell and Git. The phone picks up the same conversation.

Providers

Spark by default. Your own keys when you want them.

Spark is the built-in model. LearningCode also runs on the providers below, set up with learningcode --login. Switch models any time with /model.

model: TLC-Spark

TokenHarbor

Keys stay on your computer. Pricing for each model is read from its provider's catalogue, and the footer shows what the session costs.

First run

A tour, not a manual.

A 5-minute guided tour with its token price disclosed upfront. Type skip anytime, replay with /intro, opt out forever with --no-intro.

Keep working from your phone

Pick up any session from a phone or Termux. Plan, approve and track your checklist without a laptop.
