Next-generation modding.
We are building EDGE, a next-generation agentic modding platform. You and an AI agent work on the same mod, with the same tools, from the first idea to a running game. Creating, testing, deploying and running a mod all happen in one open platform, instead of a dozen separate tools and manual steps.
01What EDGE gives you
EDGE is early and moving fast. Each benefit below is labelled honestly with where it stands today.
| Benefit | What it means for you | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Native engine, bare-metal performanceREDnode · REDbridge | No emulation layer. REDnode is a native RED4ext plugin that draws with the game's own Direct3D 12 device, and simple rules run inside the game's hooks with no round trip. REDbridge runs WolvenKit's compiled C# engine directly. | In progress |
| Mod isolation and crash protectionREDnode | Mods and overlay apps run in their own process, outside the game. If one crashes, your game keeps running. Code that must run inside the game will be sandboxed and time-limited. | Working |
| HTML overlay apps with a UI kitREDnode | Build in-game windows and HUD widgets with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, styled with a ready-made UI kit. Use any web framework, browser dev tools and npm packages instead of Lua and ImGui. | Working |
| Integrated Claude agent toolingREDagent · REDnode · REDcode · REDdeck | REDagent, powered by Claude, writes, runs and fixes mods with you in a chat inside the game. REDnode, REDcode and REDdeck each offer an MCP server, so Claude Code on your PC can read mod logs, see overlay windows, call the game, edit game files and manage your mods. | Working |
| Real-time hot-loading and live debuggingREDnode · REDcode | Change a mod and see it in the running game without a restart; hot reload works today. Next: breakpoints and evaluating code against the live game from VS Code's debugger. | In progress |
| You approve every changeREDagent · REDdeck | REDagent shows each file change as a diff and waits for Allow. Every change it makes, and every deploy REDdeck makes, has an Undo. | Working |
| Full VS Code and extension ecosystemREDcode · REDdeck | EDGE lives in VS Code, so you keep its editor, Git, themes, AI assistants and thousands of extensions, including the existing redscript tooling. | Working |
| WolvenKit compatibleREDcode · REDbridge | Opens and builds WolvenKit projects. Game files convert to JSON and back byte for byte, using WolvenKit's own engine. Move between tools freely. | Working |
| Game API built for agentsREDnode · REDagent | A typed API that can call any game function, generated from the game's own type system, with a published reference. REDagent looks functions up and calls the running game, asking you first before anything that could change it. | Working |
| Safe, undoable deploymentREDdeck | Mods deploy with a manifest of every file placed. One click undoes it. Conflicts are shown even inside mod archives, with who wins and why. | Working |
| Open source, community firstAll toolkits | MIT where we can, GPL-3.0 where WolvenKit requires it. EDGE works alongside RED4ext, Cyber Engine Tweaks, redscript, ArchiveXL and TweakXL. | Working |
02The toolkits
EDGE is five open-source toolkits. Each works alone; together they cover the whole life of a mod.

REDnode
live in game03Ask REDagent
An assistant inside Cyberpunk 2077 that writes, runs, checks and fixes REDnode mods with you, while you play. You talk to it in a chat window drawn over the game.
- Ask for a mod in plain words; REDagent writes it and REDnode loads it at once
- Reads mod logs, overlay windows and the running game to check its work
- Every file change shown as a diff first: Allow, Allow all, or Deny
- Undo for every change, with backups kept on your PC
- Opus for building mods, Sonnet for quick questions; each answer shows its cost
04Create with REDcode
A Cyberpunk 2077 modding IDE built on VS Code. It brings WolvenKit's workflows into the editor, where your AI agent already works.
- Browse the game's archives folder by folder
- Open any game file as readable JSON, edit it, save it back
- Texture viewer and TweakXL language support
- Opens and packs WolvenKit projects
- Your agent sees the same project you do
05Deploy with REDdeck
A mod manager that lives inside VS Code. One list of mods and four verbs: add, on/off, deploy, remove.
- Add mods from zip, 7z, rar, folders or Nexus links
- Recognises RED4ext, CET, redscript, ArchiveXL, TweakXL and REDmod
- Hardlink deploys with a manifest; undo removes exactly what it placed
- Shows conflicts inside mod archives, with a "let this one win" button
- Loadouts, Vortex import, a command line and an MCP server for agents
06Build with REDbridge
The engine room. REDbridge runs WolvenKit's proven C# libraries as a local service, so EDGE never has to reinvent the game's file formats.
- Indexes a game install and searches its archives in seconds
- Converts game files to JSON and back, byte for byte
- Decodes textures, resolves hashes, reads mod archives without the game
- One API for the editor, REDdeck and AI agents (through
redcode-mcp)
07Run with REDnode
The runtime that puts mods in the game, and the one REDagent writes for. Script Cyberpunk 2077 in TypeScript and JavaScript with npm, and draw HTML apps on top of the game.
- Node mods with hot reload, beside HTML overlay apps and HUD widgets
- A UI kit in the HUD style, plus the game's own UI sounds
- Overlay host runs outside the game, so a crash can't take it down
- A typed game API that calls any game function, with a published reference
- An MCP server that lets AI agents read logs, see windows and call the game
- Coming: live debugging from VS Code
