As of CLI/Core 1.17.0, XibeCode includes local-first coding, cloud (E2B) sandboxes, and always-on messaging.

Setup wizard: xibecode setup for providers, API keys, 24/7 daemon, and agent defaults.
30+ providers: Routing.run, zenllm.org, Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Gemini, Grok, Z.AI, Kimi, MiniMax, Fireworks, models.dev catalog, and more — see Providers.
Unlimited agent loops by default (maxIterations: 0); set -d N or config when you want a hard cap.
Xibe Daemon (24/7): Telegram / Discord / Slack with xibecode daemon (alias: xibecode gateway).
/cmd shell from Telegram — run shell in the chat workdir without the agent loop.
Mid-run steer (default): new messages inject into the current run; /queue for FIFO; /stop to free the chat.
Media delivery: screenshots and any workspace file via MEDIA:path (photo/document/video/audio).
Cron: xibecode cron scheduled agent jobs while the daemon runs.
Curated memory: durable saves with clear “Saved” feedback; frozen snapshot at session start.
Cloud Runtime: xc cloud, xc cloud resume <sandbox-id>, xc cloud pull, chat /cpull.
E2B runtime mode: /update yes installs latest CLI + restarts daemon (chat sessions kept).
Diagnostics: xibecode diagnostics redacted markdown bundle.
CLI update: xibecode update --check / --apply --yes (never silent).
