Dufus: AI Coding Agent in Finkkle Igno and Studio
Dufus is the AI coding agent in Finkkle Igno. It writes, explains, refactors, and debugs code for local repos and cloud workspaces.
Dufus is the AI coding agent at the heart of Finkkle Igno and Finkkle One Studio. Whether you're writing a feature from scratch, debugging a tricky issue, explaining an unfamiliar codebase, or refactoring a module, Dufus works alongside you in your IDE, the CLI, or directly inside a Igno conversation.
What Dufus can do
Write code
Implement features, components, functions, and full modules from a plain-language description. Dufus includes ARIA labels, tests, and edge cases when asked.
Explain code
Paste any code snippet and ask Dufus to explain the logic, identify patterns, or walk through it step by step.
Debug and fix
Share an error message or failing test. Dufus diagnoses the issue, suggests a fix, and explains why it went wrong.
Refactor
Ask Dufus to improve structure, reduce duplication, apply a design pattern, or modernize syntax — with a diff for review.
Work with repos
Connect a GitHub repository and Dufus can navigate the file tree, understand project structure, draft issues, and review pull requests.
Add tests
Dufus writes unit and integration tests for existing code. Specify the framework (Jest, pytest, Vitest, etc.) and it handles the rest.
Use Dufus in Finkkle Igno
Switch any Igno conversation to Code mode to use Dufus:
1. Start a conversation at igno.finkkle.com 2. Select Code as the conversation mode 3. Describe your coding task or paste code into the composer 4. Attach files, a GitHub repo, or a local directory as context
Dufus outputs syntax-highlighted code artifacts that you can copy, save to your workspace, or continue iterating on in the same conversation.
Example prompts:
"Implement a sliding window rate limiter in TypeScript. Include unit tests with Vitest."
"Explain what this React component does and identify any accessibility issues."
"Refactor this Python function to use asyncio and add error handling."
"Review my PR and flag any potential performance issues."Use Dufus via Finkkle One Studio
Finkkle One Studio puts Dufus directly in your development environment:
Install the CLI
``bash theme={null} npm i -g @finkkleone/studio`Runstudio` from any project directory to start a Dufus session in your terminal.
IDE Extension
Install the Finkkle Studio extension for your IDE. Dufus appears as a side panel — chat with it while you edit files, with full project context.
Web Studio
Access Studio at one.finkkle.com. Work on cloud projects or connect to a GitHub repo without a local setup.
GitHub Integration
Connect your repository to Studio. Dufus can read the full file tree, create branches, and draft commits.
Studio CLI commands
Once the CLI is installed:
npm i -g @finkkleone/studio| Command | What it does | | -------- | --------------------------------------------------- | | studio | Opens a Dufus session in the current directory | | /model | Switch the active model (e.g., /model gpt-5.4) | | /fork | Branches the current conversation into a new thread | | /help | Lists all available commands |
The CLI shows your context window usage in real time — when context fills up, use /fork to branch or /clear to start fresh.
Supported languages
Dufus works across all major languages. It is especially well-tested with:
- JavaScript / TypeScript
- Python
- Go
- Rust
- C / C++
- Java
- SQL
- Bash / Shell
Best practices
/fork in the CLI when you want to explore a different approach without losing your current conversation. * Attach tests when asking Dufus to refactor — it will try to keep the tests passing.
