Finkkle One Studio: AI Development in Your Environment

Finkkle One is currently undergoing a major overhaul. Studio, Dufus, and all other Finkkle One services are down or disabled until further notice. Finkkle Trends remains accessible. More details soon.

Finkkle One Studio is the AI development environment that puts Dufus — the Finkkle coding agent — directly inside the tools you already use. Work side-by-side with Dufus locally, hand off to the cloud when you step away, and review every change before it ships.

Where Studio runs

CLI

Install the CLI and run studio in any project directory. Dufus has full access to your local file system within the project.

IDE Extension

Install the Finkkle Studio extension for your IDE. Dufus appears as a persistent side panel — chat while you edit, with full project context.

Web Studio

Access Studio at one.finkkle.com without any local setup. Connect to a GitHub repo or work in the cloud sandbox.

GitHub

Connect a repository to Studio. Dufus can read the full tree, draft commits, create issues, and review pull requests.

Install the CLI

npm

npm i -g @finkkleone/studio

After installation, run studio from any project directory:

cd my-project
studio

The CLI opens a Dufus session with your current directory as context. The prompt shows your model, directory, and remaining context:

>_ Finkkle Studio (v0.93.0)
model: arctic-1.3  /model to change
directory: ~/my-project
Tip: Use /fork to branch current chat

100% context left  finkkleone://cli

CLI commands

Command	Description
`studio`	Start a Dufus session in the current directory
`/model <name>`	Switch the active model (e.g., `/model gpt-5.4`)
`/fork`	Branch the current conversation into a new thread
`/clear`	Start a fresh session
`/help`	List all available commands

The context meter shows how much of the model’s context window is remaining. When it fills, use /fork to continue in a branched thread without losing your work.

Example workflow

# Install Studio
npm i -g @finkkleone/studio

# Start a session in your project
cd my-api
studio

# Ask Dufus to implement a feature
> Hey Studio, add exponential backoff to the notifications API

# Dufus responds, edits files, and shows a diff
# Review, approve, and continue

Connecting GitHub

To connect a repository:

Open Studio at one.finkkle.com
Click Connect to GitHub
Select the repository you want to work with
Dufus gains read access to the file tree and can create branches, issues, and commits within approved scope

Grant only the permissions Studio needs for the task at hand. For read-only code review and explanation, grant read access only. Only grant write access when you intend to commit changes.

Model selection in Studio

Switch models at any point with the /model command or the model selector in the web UI:

Model	Best for
Arctic 1	Fast completions, short tasks
Arctic 1.3	Longer context, complex reasoning
GPT-5.4	Agents and professional-grade work
GPT-5.5	Highest intelligence for complex projects
GPT-5.4-mini	Fast pipelines, lightweight tasks

Start with Arctic 1.3 for most development tasks — it has strong reasoning and a large context window. Switch to GPT-5.4 or GPT-5.5 when you need higher capability for multi-step planning or large refactors.
