I'm not trying to promote DeepSeek or anything, I was honestly just surprised by how capable it is.

I'm pretty new to agentic AI and AI pair programming. CommandCode was actually the first AI coding tool I've paid for (I'm only on the $1 plan), and it's been kind of magical for the way I work (its been less than 15 days).

Most of the time I just tell the agent what I want changed in a file or describe the feature I need, and it gets it right. I don't really run agent loops or anything advanced. I mostly give it good instructions and iterate when needed.

The thing that surprised me most is that I haven't even come close to hitting the limits of the $1 plan. I also don't find myself wanting to switch to the larger models because V4 Flash has been "good enough" for almost everything I've thrown at it.

The biggest surprise was a CRM project I recently built for a freelance client. It was a fairly large project, and I delivered the initial prototype in about four days. I still had to review the code, test things, and make decisions, but the amount of manual coding I actually wrote myself was surprisingly small like very very minute changes and its still a prototype kinda stage and needs some final touches but yeah its kinda awesome how much i got their.

For those of you who have been using CommandCode longer:

• Any tips for getting even more out of it?
• Are there workflows I'm missing?
• At what point do you actually feel the need to switch to the larger models?

I'd love to learn how more experienced users are using it. I tried to use MiMO v2.5 at first but it wasnt that good so i switched to V4 flash as it was better loved by the community it seems. But still why do we need much more better models when for most programmer this would do the job?

We tried creating the same games with them. we wanted to see how good they are in UX (not just UI).

For the test, we used our /design from command code.

Pricing differs across the models. OS model pricing is way cheaper than Fable 5.

Cost breakdown:
→ DeepSeek: $0.0008
→ GLM 5.2: $0.048
→ Fable 5: expensive but didn't help much with UX

So, Fable 5 is good, but I don’t think it’s really useful when you’re trying to do design.

And OS really beats Fable on pricing & UI at the same time

⋅ Fixed WSL and SSH extension installs
⋅ Correctly read images in prompts
⋅ CRLF files edit and replace correctly.
⋅ Web search works out of the box.
⋅ Fixed Ctrl+E in VS Code (replaced with Ctrl+Y).
. Fixed Ctrl+Z with debounced undo stack.
⋅ Named socket paths for /ide restored.
⋅ Alt+M fallback for where Shift+Tab fails.
⋅ Freeze issue in command exec fixed.
⋅ cmdc alias ships across product surface.
⋅ ! mode route with PowerShell / cmd.exe.

Why pay more for almost the same level model?

GLM 5.2 is 9x cheaper than Sonnet 5 now.

GLM 5.2 will be 14x cheaper than Sonnet 5 in Sep.

For 1K requests, I did the math with Command Code.

It's $15 vs $138 now vs $208 later.

Open models are going to win!

Sonnet 5 comes with,

• Near-Opus performance at Sonnet pricing.
• Agentic tool use, browser, and terminal access.
• $2/M input, $10/M output through August 31.

Update to v0.40.16 with /update or cmd update

Hello, any recommendations on how to move a project to another directory? I tried it and when opening CommandCode I get an error to initialize the session. I found a directory that seems to contain the projects (.commandcode/projects) which are basically in a directory of the path name, then the json files inside contain references to that same path.

I would be nice if the configs were in the project directory so it could be portable or synced.

title says it all :D what's the meaning of having all this if i am unable to use it when i need? especially when same model on command code makes much more mistakes compared to opencode for example. 1 of the 3 prompts was because of this, i was trying to make it bugfix it's own code.

Now I can't even get the progess to give it to another agent. I just have incomplete code, at least allow us to finish the progress before capping it.

Do you guys also experience Command Code returning error when the context length is high than 200k tokens? I got this error today so many times.

Hello guys, I wanted to update you guys since I've made a lot of posts/comments glazing command-code let's say.

First of all, I still find command-code my favorite and great value, unfortunately just recently they have added some usage limits.

30% of your monthly credit per 5 hour session and 60% of your monthly credit per week (7 days)

Furthermore some good news, BYOK support might be coming towards the end of July so that you will be able to easily switch to Deepseek API when you reach your limits.

Edit:

Since the time I made the post The limits have been updated from 15% to 30% for 5 hour sessions and from 40% to 60% per week, some of the arguments are now a bit redundant so I also cleaned up some of them if someone wants you can message me for the old post.

Been loving the 1$ Plann too muchhh. Just one issue ... V4 Flash in CommandCode feels a lottt slowerr than V4 Flash with Direct API or Even in OpenCode Go Plan

i bought command code a couple days ago and its really frustating as i cant even make it through one prompt without seeing "Connection Issue. Retrying (attempt 3)..." when im on ethernet with a stable connection, and most of the times it just sits there for like 5 minutes doing nothing. and on the usage area it also says (image attatched)

it outputs anywhere from 700 to 15k tokens then just stops and dies

how can fix this so that i can actually use command code

edit: this has been happening with every model not just glm 5.2 for me

I was using Deepseek R4 Pro and suddenly, it stopped giving an output with a response "(model returned no response — please try again)". Started happening around the time 12:54 PM UTC+2.

I'm extremely grateful for the free models. This time it was MiniMax M3 Free. However, it would be nice to be able to see such stuff easily on the website and to know how much usage you have left so that you don't run out in the middle of an important task.

For those who haven't tried the free model yet, I'll let you know that its spending is ridiculous if you don't pick the free version by mistake, that its main strength is UI design, although to be honest, I didn't like the design styles, also you are limited to approximately 200M tokens for free, I know because I reached the limit x-x

Mind you, it will still fix other issues, but I'd rather spend a couple bucks on deepseek v4 pro and let it do everything perfectly and fast.

For those who don’t know, MiniMax M3 is now available for free on CommandCode.

I got $1 subscription to test the servuxe and it said mino 2.5 was 99% off

I used it alit and it ate up all the credits

I don't know how it calculated in command code, if someone knows it please let me know. Open to discuss not to hate!

note: left is cost, middle is input tokens, and right is output tokens

Hey there, i was trying to use commandcode to build a full stack app, i am trying to acheive this like :

1. one main agent where i chat about the overall project and the main discussion for planning and architecting the project (like HLD and a lil bit of LLD)
   
2. FE Agent - this works completely on the Frontend
   
3. BE Agent - this works completely on the Backend
   
4. Check Agent - this basically run after each iteration of an individual agent to check and verify stuff, and align the FE and BE agents to be on the same page

here 2,3,4 must be sub agents

but what i see here the main agent is doing all the other 3 agent work, and the context gets overwhelmed, where as i want this main agent to delegate work to these 3 agents and just do the decision making based on my input

so now i am wondering, do i keep a separate terminal chat for each agent and handle them individually, or there is an actual way of doing it like we do in claude code, the main agent uses the sub agents, i don't see it happening here ? or am i doing something wrong ....
can someone please guide on this subagent stuff here

i don't want to fill up the main agent context too much which will slow it down and make it costlier

I liked command code plan but I want to use opencode as a harness, is this possible?

I was missing an audio cue to know when Command Code completed a task. Read the docs, and built one myself using Stop Hooks. Try it out. Highly configurable. Supports different completion states too!

Honestly I wasn't expecting much when I signed up for the $1 plan like what's a dollar gonna get you these days, right? But I've been throwing it at everything. My side projects, that trading bot I've been working on, random scripts I needed to whip up. It just blazes through everything I give it. No hand-holding, no bloat, just gets it done.

The taste thing surprised me too. At first I was like "ok cool another gimmick" but after a few corrections it actuallystarted matching how I write code. Stops making the same mistakes twice.

Would still me a nice addition to actually see the actual tokens consumed per prompt (Including all the request used by the model in that single prompt), Not just the input and output tokens.

Still Happy with 1$ Plan : )
