Sourcegraph's frontier coding agent across CLI and IDE, with an autonomous deep-research mode.
Description. Sourcegraph's coding agent available as both a CLI and IDE integration. Headline feature is a 'Deep mode' autonomous research/problem-solving mode using extended reasoning; also ships a code-review agent, an image tool, a walkthrough skill and plugin extensibility. Pay-as-you-go pricing.
Agent loop shape. A tool-using coding loop with subagents; Deep mode switches into an extended-reasoning autonomous research/solve loop for hard tasks before returning to implementation.
Primary use cases
- agentic coding across CLI and IDE
- autonomous deep research/problem-solving on complex tasks
- automated code review within the agent
Key concepts
- Deep mode → extended-thinking (docs) — Autonomous research/problem-solving with extended reasoning.
- Code-review agent → agent-as-judge — A separate agent reviews generated code.
Patterns this app implements —
- ★★ReAct
Amp is the frontier coding agent for your terminal and editor.
- ★Subagent Isolation
Amp will sometimes spawn subagents for complex tasks that benefit from independent execution.
- ★★Extended Thinking
deep: Deep reasoning with GPT-5.5 for extended thinking on complex problems.
- ★Agent-as-a-Judge
Amp can review your code for bugs, security issues, performance problems, and style violations.
