Coding Agent Template is an AI-driven coding agent project that automates programming tasks in code repositories. It supports task execution using various AI agents such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, Cursor CLI, and Opencode, leveraging Vercel Sandbox to provide a secure, isolated code execution environment.
The template integrates Vercel AI Gateway for model routing and observability, automatically generates descriptive Git branch names, and features task management, real-time progress updates, and persistent storage based on PostgreSQL. All these capabilities are presented through a modern user interface built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS, streamlining the AI‑powered development workflow.

Coding Agent Template Deployment Steps
Click the "Deploy with Vercel" button to complete the deployment. The following operations are performed automatically during deployment:
- Automatic Database Configuration: A Neon Postgres database is created and linked to the project.
- Environment Configuration: You will be prompted to fill in necessary environment variables (Vercel credentials and encryption keys).
- OAuth Setup: After deployment, configure at least one OAuth provider (GitHub or Vercel) in the project settings for user authentication.
Core Features of Coding Agent Template
- Multi-Agent Support: Choose from various tools like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex CLI to execute coding tasks.
- User Authentication: Secure login via GitHub or Vercel OAuth.
- Multi-User Support: Each user has their own tasks, API keys, and GitHub connections.
- Secure Sandboxing: Code runs in an isolated environment powered by Vercel Sandbox.
- AI Gateway Integration: Seamless integration with Vercel AI Gateway for model routing and observability.
- Intelligent Branch Naming: Automatically generates descriptive Git branch names using AI SDK 5 + AI Gateway.
- Task Management: Real-time task progress updates for easy tracking.
- Persistent Storage: Task data is stored in a Neon Postgres database.
- Git Integration: Automatically creates branches and commits changes.
- Modern Interface: A responsive interface built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS.
- MCP Server Support: Connect MCP servers to extend Claude Code's capabilities (Claude only).
You can opencode with Vercel Sandbox to automatically execute coding tasks on your repositories.
