Setup

Before using Lyra, you need to configure your API key:

lyra config

This will prompt you to enter your Anthropic API key and other settings.

Usage

Starting a Conversation

lyra
# or
lyra start

This opens an interactive session with Lyra where you can ask coding questions, get help with errors, or collaborate on building new features.

Creating a New Project

lyra new my-project

Options:

• -t, --template <template>: Project template (next, react, node, empty)
• -p, --path <path>: Custom project path
• -g, --git: Initialize git repository
• -i, --install: Install dependencies

Example:

lyra new my-next-app -t next -g -i

Configuration

lyra config

This allows you to set or update:

• Anthropic API Key
• OpenAI API Key (for future integrations)
• Log Level
• Other settings

Example Prompts

Here are some example prompts you can use with Lyra:

• "Create a simple Express API with user authentication"
• "Build a React todo app with Tailwind CSS"
• "Create a Next.js landing page with a contact form"
• "Help me debug this React component" (then paste your code)
• "Refactor this function to be more efficient" (then paste your code)
• "Explain how promises work in JavaScript"
• "Create a SQL query to find all users who signed up last month"

Testing Autonomous Features

You can test Lyra's autonomous features by running:

npm run test:autonomy

This will verify Lyra's ability to:

• Create files and directories automatically
• Open browser windows
• Run commands in new terminal windows
