You will need an API Key to run it, which you can get here.

Summary of the Dev Kit

The Higher Level Dev Kit (HLDK) is a powerful tool that allows you to develop at a higher level using natural language. It offloads the actual coding to an LLM-powered Software Engineering Agent allowing you to focus on higher level problems.

Key Features:

• Node-based server and easy to use web UI
• Supports Anthropic Claude Sonnet 3.5 (and also OpenAI & Ollama)
• Audio transcription support (talk instead of type)
• Works with existing code bases or a clean slate
• Workspace management for multiple projects
• Git integration for version control
• Automatically runs and fixes tests

This video shows the Higher Level Dev Kit implementing some changes, getting some human feedback to make improvements and then running the tests (which fail) before iterating to fix the tests and commit the changes to git.

Getting Started:

1. Install required tools (Node.js 21+ and pnpm) and clone the repo
2. Set up audio transcription (optional)
3. Run the HLDK server
4. Enter your Dev Kit API Key which you can get here
5. Set up your Anthropic API key
6. Access the web UI and import your local git repo as a workspace
