A fast, self-improving terminal-native AI coding agent for planning, reflecting, remembering, editing, testing, and automating work across your codebase.

Autohand Code CLI is a fast, terminal-native AI coding agent that lives where you already work. It reads project context, plans changes, edits files, runs tools, and asks for approval before risky operations.

The interface is built for focused interactive sessions: minimal chrome, smooth Ink rendering, file mentions, slash commands, skills, permissions, provider switching, and session history all available from one prompt.

Install it, run autohand, and describe the outcome you want in natural language. Use Autohand Code CLI locally, with your editor, or in CI/CD to automate repetitive engineering work without giving up control.

Features

• Planning + Tools: Combines reasoning, file edits, shell commands, and web context in one loop
• Interactive REPL: Smooth terminal experience with file mentions, slash commands, and keyboard shortcuts

Installation

Quick Install (Recommended)

curl -fsSL https://autohand.ai/install.sh | bash

Homebrew

brew install autohandai/code/autohand-code

The fully qualified command installs and trusts only the Autohand formula. Every supported installation exposes the same CLI as autohand, autohand-code, and agent; autohand remains the canonical name. The standalone Unix and Windows installers refresh all aliases in the selected installation directory, replacing an existing agent entry there.
