Use cases

litecode focuses on coding and security. It also helps with writing, study, and everyday questions, because the same local models do those tasks well.

Coding (main focus)#

• Fix bugs: "test_cart.py fails, find the root cause and fix it."
• Add features with tests: "add a --json flag and update the tests."
• Refactor safely: "rename get_usr to get_user in every file." litecode runs the tests before and after.
• Explain code: "explain @parser.py step by step."
• Test-fix loop: /test runs your tests, reads the failure, fixes the code, and runs them again.
• Commit messages: /commit writes a message from the diff.
• Autocomplete in your editor: litecode fim.

Security (main focus)#

• Static scan with zero model tokens: /scan.
• Review with a verdict per finding: /review src/.
• Fix common classes: SQL injection, XSS, command injection, path traversal, unsafe deserialization, hardcoded secrets.
• Authorized pentest and CTF practice with an official security model (Foundation-Sec-8B or WhiteRabbitNeo).

See Security.

Writing#

• Emails and messages: "write email.txt telling the team the update moves to Friday 18:00, max 80 words."
• Summaries: "summarize notes.txt in 3 bullet points with the budget and the deadline."
• Documentation: "write API.md for every public function in lib.py."
• README files, release notes, reports.

Answers use plain, short sentences (ASD-STE100 rules). Text is easy to read for second-language English speakers.

Study and questions#

• Ask about a concept: "what is a race condition? give a 5-line Python example."
• Learn a codebase: "which function in the app package is never called?"
• Practice offline: no internet and no data charges after setup.

Data tasks#

• CSV and JSON reports: "write report.py that prints total sales per region."
• Log analysis: "count status codes and the top IP in access.log."
• Config edits: "set debug to false in settings.json."

Proof#

Every use case above is a challenge in the litecode test suite. See which models pass which tasks on the Benchmarks page.
