uip coder

Syntax for `uip coder`, an autonomous AI coding agent (Pi) that drives the UiPath CLI — a Preview-build-only command.

Hinweis:

Preview build only. Unlike most Preview-labeled commands in this CLI (visible in --help, callable, just less stable), uip coder is registered only inside preview builds (previewOnly(...) in source) — it does not exist at all in a stable install. See Versioning and stability for the general Preview convention; this command is a stricter case, gated at build time rather than just labeled.

uip coder runs Pi, an autonomous coding agent, wired to drive uip itself through a UiPath LLM Gateway provider extension. Every argument is forwarded verbatim to Pi's own CLI — there is no uip-specific option surface to document beyond the forwarding behavior below. The tool stays preview-gated while UiPath works out the tool-permission posture for an agent that executes tool calls without per-call approval in customer environments.

Zusammenfassung

uip coder [args...]

No arguments opens Pi's interactive TUI. All flags are Pi's own — run uip coder --help (rendered by Pi, not by uip) for the full surface. A few worth knowing from Pi's own package-management subcommand set, which must be the first token and bypasses agent-session setup entirely: install, remove/uninstall, update, list, config.

Wie es funktioniert

• Forwarding, not a native command. uip coder has no options of its own — allowUnknownOption/allowExcessArguments/helpOption(false) are all set, and every argument is handed to Pi's main() entry point unmodified.
• UiPath system-prompt injection. Unless the first argument is one of Pi's package-management subcommands (install/remove/uninstall/update/list/config), the CLI prepends --append-system-prompt <guide> with a bundled guide on how to drive uip — so a prompt like uip coder -p "deploy this process" gets UiPath-specific context even though the command itself never parses -p.
• UiPath as a model provider. Pass --provider uipath --model <id> to route Pi's completions through the UiPath LLM Gateway instead of a directly-configured provider key.
• Session continuity. --continue resumes the previous session, matching Pi's own semantics.
• Exit-code passthrough. If Pi exits non-zero, uip coder surfaces it as a Failure with Message: "The coding agent exited with code <N>." and Instructions pointing at uip coder --help or uip login (in case the uipath provider is missing), then exits with that same code — the underlying detail is whatever Pi printed to its own output above the envelope, not something uip re-parses.

Beispiele

# Interactive TUI
uip coder

# One-shot prompt
uip coder -p "explain what uip solution deploy upgrade does"

# Route through the UiPath LLM Gateway
uip coder --provider uipath --model anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6 -p "list my orchestrator jobs"

# Resume the previous session
uip coder --continue

Fehlerverhalten

Any non-zero exit from Pi is wrapped in a Failure envelope with the exit code preserved; if the uipath LLM provider isn't configured, run uip login first.
