Commands

vg models

Code Modes (Spark / Flow / Forge) plus the local model fleet — Ollama, LM Studio, and gguf files. Fit-aware pack install for VG Code; install and pull run when you invoke them (pass --dry-run to preview).

Overview

vg models manages Code Modes (Spark / Flow / Forge) for VG Code and discovers your local model fleet (Ollama, LM Studio, and on-disk gguf files). The default view is outcome-oriented: which mode fits this machine and repo, which pack backs it, and whether it is ready — not a wall of raw model names.

Named install commands run by default (same polarity as the rest of vg: the command does what it says). Pass --dry-run to print the plan only. Status and resolve never download. install / pull install the provider dependency closure (runtime deps + weights); third-party apps like Ollama are never auto-installed. Destructive uninstall confirms on a TTY unless --yes is set.


Usage

vg models                 # Code Modes status + fleet summary
vg models --raw           # local models only
vg models status          # explicit Code Modes status
vg models mode [spark|flow|forge]
vg models resolve [mode]  # pack + model + fit (no download)
vg models install [mode]  # install the pack (--dry-run to preview)
vg models pin <packId>
vg models unpin <mode>
vg models packs
vg models pull <name>     # download (--dry-run to preview)
vg models uninstall <name> # uninstall (TTY confirm; --yes for CI; --dry-run to preview)
vg models host-bench      # Approach B measurement arms (default: simulate, no GPU)
vg models coding-metrics  # host-bench + Fusion FCS/ZNS report (coding-metrics/0)
vg models catalog

Code Modes

ModeIntent
SparkFast, small footprint — quick edits and tight memory
FlowBalanced default for day-to-day coding
ForgeHeavier pack when you have headroom and want more capacity

vg models mode flow sets a fixed default. vg models mode --auto clears it so the next resolve auto-fits from live memory and repo signals. vg models mode --apply-recommend pins the hardware-recommended mode when no default is set (from free RAM/VRAM and repo size). vg doctor surfaces the same recommendation under local inference.

vg models install resolves the best mode for this machine and installs the pack; pass --dry-run to print the plan only.

Pin a reproducible pack with vg models pin flow@2026.07.1 (ids come from status/packs). Clear with vg models unpin flow.


Local fleet and catalog

SubcommandDescription
pull <name>Download via your local runtime (default Ollama). --dry-run prints the plan only.
uninstall <name>Uninstall a local model (TTY confirm; --yes non-interactively; --dry-run plan only).
catalogLive hosted model catalog (OpenRouter) — key-free, cached; not used under --local.
--rawSkip Code Modes and list discovered local models only.

Host bench and coding metrics

SubcommandDescription
host-benchApproach B measurement arms (TTFT / grammar / KV / sampler). Default simulate (no GPU); --mock for registry shells only; --live --model-path <gguf> on operator hardware. Add --gate to evaluate release gates (exit code 2 on hard failure).
coding-metricsUnified host-bench + Fusion FCS/ZNS report (coding-metrics/0). Same host modes; optional --out, --gate, --version.

Options (shared)

FlagDescription
--rawLocal fleet only (top-level)
--jsonMachine-readable JSON on stdout
--localNever touch the network
--dry-runOn install / pull / uninstall / host-bench: print the plan only
--yesSkip interactive confirms (required for non-interactive uninstall)

Top Priority Actions

1. Upgrade EOL runtime in node-turborepo
End-of-life runtimes no longer receive security patches and block ecosystem upgrades.
./.
>=18.0.0 → 24.0.0 (6 majors behind)
Impact: −10 drift points (runtime & EOL)
 
2. Fix security posture: no lockfile found
Without a lockfile, installs are non-deterministic. Run the install command to generate one and commit it.
./
Missing: package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, or yarn.lock
 
3. Upgrade Vite 5.4.21 → 8.2.2 in @repo/admin (+2 more)
3 major versions behind. Major framework drift increases breaking change risk and blocks access to security fixes and performance improvements.
./apps/admin
Vite: 5.4.21 → 8.2.2 (3 majors behind)
./apps/api
Vitest: 1.6.1 → 4.1.11 (3 majors behind)
./packages/utils
Vitest: 1.6.1 → 4.1.11 (3 majors behind)
Impact: −5–15 drift points
 
4. Reduce dependency rot in @repo/types (100% severely outdated)
1 of 1 dependencies are 2+ majors behind. Run `npm outdated` and prioritise packages with known CVEs or breaking API changes.
./packages/types
typescript: 5.9.3 → 7.0.2 (2 majors behind)
Impact: −5–10 drift points
 
5. Reduce dependency rot in @repo/database (75% severely outdated)
3 of 4 dependencies are 2+ majors behind. Run `npm outdated` and prioritise packages with known CVEs or breaking API changes.
./packages/database
@prisma/client: 5.22.0 → 7.10.0 (2 majors behind)
