Terminal Agent
Amp
Sourcegraph's agentic coding tool that works from the terminal or an editor extension, built to hand off large, multi-step engineering tasks.
Amp is Sourcegraph’s take on an agentic coding tool: a single agent, unconstrained by a fixed model or hand-tuned prompt, that plans and executes multi-file changes from either the command line or a lightweight editor extension.
Why it stands out
- No manual prompt engineering knobs. Amp is deliberately opinionated about not exposing model choice or system prompt tweaks, betting on the agent itself getting better over time.
- Built by a code-search company, so it leans on Sourcegraph’s deep experience indexing and reasoning about large codebases.
- Works in the terminal or the editor, fitting into whichever workflow a team already has.
Good for
Teams already using Sourcegraph tooling who want an agent that handles large, multi-step changes with minimal configuration.
