First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.\n\nSource: OpenCLI\n"},"fit":{"bestFor":"coding agent, codebase edits, and agentic development from the terminal.","useThisIf":"You want AI models and inference that runs entirely on your machine.","skipIf":"You're not comfortable with a tool that can write to production.","whatHappensNext":"Run `amp --help` to see it in action."},"capabilities":{"agentFriendly":true,"supportsJsonOutput":false,"supportsNonInteractive":false,"supportsDryRun":false,"requiresAuth":true,"requiresNetwork":true,"ciFriendly":false,"localFirst":true,"destructivePotential":"high"},"taxonomy":{"useCases":["Coding agent","Codebase edits","Agentic development"],"aliases":["ampcode","sourcegraph amp"],"keywords":["agent","coding","sourcegraph","amp"],"tags":["agent","coding-agent"]},"links":{"website":"https://ampcode.com","github":"https://github.com/sourcegraph/amp","docs":"https://ampcode.com/manual","opencli":"https://opencli.co/cli/amp","markdown":"https://opencli.co/cli/amp/agent.md","json":"https://opencli.co/cli/amp.json"},"metrics":{"githubStars":null,"latestRelease":null,"license":null,"metricLabel":"npm weekly downloads","metricValue":20559,"metricSource":"npm","metricAsOf":"2026-06-08T11:01:12.998Z"}}
