elysium

This package lets you automatically apply AI-generated changes as you code. Call M-x elysium-query and request a set of changes. They will automatically be merged into your code buffer.

You can make queries on a region without leaving the the code buffer

Installation

Elysium is now on Melpa!

(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/") t)

(use-package elysium)

Customization

(use-package elysium
  :custom
  ;; Below are the default values
  (elysium-window-size 0.33) ; The elysium buffer will be 1/3 your screen
  (elysium-window-style 'vertical)) ; Can be customized to horizontal

(use-package gptel
  :custom
  (gptel-model 'claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620)
  :config
  (defun read-file-contents (file-path)
    "Read the contents of FILE-PATH and return it as a string."
    (with-temp-buffer
      (insert-file-contents file-path)
      (buffer-string)))
  (defun gptel-api-key ()
    (read-file-contents "~/secrets/claude_key"))
  (setq
   gptel-backend (gptel-make-anthropic "Claude"
                   :stream t
                   :key #'gptel-api-key)))

Use smerge-mode to then merge in the changes

(use-package smerge-mode
  :ensure nil
  :hook
  (prog-mode . smerge-mode))

Notes

elysium uses gptel as a backend. It supports any of the models supported by gptel, but currently (9/24) Claude 3-5 Sonnet seems to be the best for generating code.

If there is a region active, then elysium will send only that region to the LLM. Otherwise, the entire code buffer will be sent. If you're using Claude, then I recommend only ever sending a region to avoid getting rate-limited.

Planned Features

• Implementing Prompt Caching with Anthropic to let us send more queries before getting rate-limited
