Today we've launched the Amp TypeScript SDK. It allows you to programmatically use the Amp agent in your TypeScript programs.

Here is a program, for example, that instructs the Amp agent to find and list specific files in a folder using a custom toolbox tool:

import { AmpOptions, execute } from '@sourcegraph/amp-sdk'
import path from 'path'

const prompt = `
	What files use authentication in this directory?
	Go through all the files and folders.
	Use the format_file_tree tool to format results.
	Only output the file tree.
`

const options: AmpOptions = {
	cwd: path.join(process.cwd(), 'src'), // Run in `./src` folder
	dangerouslyAllowAll: true, // Allow all tools, trust in Amp
	toolbox: path.join(process.cwd(), 'toolbox'), // Location of custom toolbox
}

// execute starts the agent and streams messages
const messages = execute({ prompt, options })

for await (const message of messages) {
	// A system message contains information about the current session
	if (message.type === 'system') {
		console.log(`Started thread: ${message.session_id}`)

		// For example, the custom tools that were found in the toolbox
		console.log(
			'Available tools in Toolbox: ',
			message.tools.filter((tool) => tool.startsWith('tb__')).join(', '),
		)
	} else if (message.type === 'assistant') {
		// An assistant message contains the assistants text replies
		// or tool uses
		console.log('Assistant:', message)
	} else if (message.type === 'result') {
		// A result message contains the last message of the assistant
		console.log('Files using authentication:', message.result)
	}
}

You only need to install one package to get started:

$ npm install @sourcegraph/amp-sdk

Since you can invoke Amp in any TypeScript program, there are very few limits to what you can build. Here are some ideas and examples of things we've built internally:

• Code Review Agent: Automated pull request analysis and feedback
• Documentation Generator: Create and maintain project documentation
• Test Automation: Generate and execute test suites
• Migration Assistant: Help upgrade codebases and refactor legacy code
• CI/CD Integration: Smart build and deployment pipelines
• Issue Triage: Automatically categorize and prioritize bug reports
