The owner didn't write this. This repo never submitted itself. The Cap'm found it on a truffle trawl and wrote its paperwork from what GitHub already shows. Picked by hand by the Cap'm on 2026-09-11: a multi-cursor code editor inspired by JetBrains IDEs, "Vibe-coded in Rust, using Amp Code.". 9 stars; MIT license. The owner did not submit this. Votes count; awards don't until the owner claims it.

I'm not calling your project slop! Geeze, it's a joke... Do you own this repo?

Log in with GitHub as HelgeSverre. There's no account to make: SlopScupper only asks GitHub who you are (read:user), never sees your code, and keeps just your id, login and avatar. Then you can:

  • Keep it, on your terms. Commit your own slopscore.md (spec) and press Refresh. Your paperwork replaces the Cap'm's, and you can submit it for Slop of the Day.
  • Take it down. One click on Remove. It stays gone; the trawl never brings it back.

The Cap'm's log

The Cap'm wrote this paperwork, not the owner. This repo never submitted itself to SlopScore. The Cap'm picked it by hand: a multi-cursor code editor inspired by JetBrains IDEs, "Vibe-coded in Rust, using Amp Code.". It carries the MIT license. The disclosures above are his best guess from what GitHub shows.

Is this yours? Commit a real slopscore.md and press Refresh to replace this, or remove the listing in one click. There's no account to make: you log in with GitHub.

README — the repo's own words, folded up so the grading fits on one screen

Multi-cursor, code editor inspired by JetBrains IDEs, Vibe-coded in Rust, using Amp Code.
The repository includes a reviewed archive of 171 Amp conversations that informed the project.

Installation

Pre-built Binaries

Download the latest release for your platform from token-editor.com or GitHub Releases.

Building from Source

Requires the Rust toolchain.

git clone https://github.com/HelgeSverre/token
cd token
just setup    # Install dependencies
just release  # Build optimized binary
just run      # Run the editor

For development:

just dev      # Run debug build (faster compile)
just watch    # Start bacon watch mode

Windows MSI packaging requires Windows, the Rust MSVC toolchain, PowerShell 7, and WiX Toolset 3.14 (candle.exe/light.exe on PATH, or the installation directory in WIX). Run just bundle-windows; the installer is written to target/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/release/bundle/msi/Token.msi. The CI-only smoke script installs and uninstalls the package, so run it only on a disposable Windows system.

Quick Start

  1. Open a file: token path/to/file.rs or use Cmd+O
  2. Open a folder: token path/to/project/ or use Cmd+Shift+O
  3. Command palette: Cmd+Shift+A for all available commands
  4. Toggle sidebar: Cmd+1 to show/hide the file tree

Command line

token returns to the shell right away and opens files in the editor that is already running; a folder always gets its own window.

Invocation Effect
token src/main.rs:42:7 Open at line 42, column 7 (--line/--column also work)
token -w notes.md Block until the tab is closed (or the editor exits)
token -w Block until the editor exits
token . Open the folder in its own window, reusing one already showing it
echo text | token - Open stdin in a new tab
token --new-window file.rs Start a separate editor instead of reusing the running one
token --foreground file.rs Run the editor in this process, logs on stderr
token automate instances List running editors; --instance <pid> targets one

Use it as a blocking editor with git config --global core.editor "token -w" or export EDITOR="token -w".

Configuration

Configuration files are stored in ~/.config/token-editor/:

File Purpose
keymap.yaml Custom keybindings
config.yaml Editor and UI preferences, including fonts
themes/<name>.yaml Custom themes

See the documentation for details:

  • Keybindings — Customize keyboard shortcuts
  • Themes — Create and customize themes

Commands

Run just help for the full command list.

Command Description
just build Build debug binary
just release Build optimized release binary
just run Run release build
just dev Run debug build (faster compile)
just test Run all tests
just fmt Format code
just lint Run clippy lints

The installed command is named token; desktop bundles and operating-system UI use the product name Token. On macOS, just app detects the host architecture, builds the native bundle and versioned archive, and opens Token.app.

Built with AI

Token was built primarily through conversations with AI coding assistants, demonstrating effective human-AI collaboration on complex software projects. The methodology and 171 referenced Amp conversations are preserved in this repository so the evidence does not depend on a third-party profile remaining public.
