Autohand Code CLI
VerifiedTerminal-native AI agent for planning and editing code directly in the CLI.
What is Autohand Code CLI?
Autohand Code CLI is a fast, terminal-based AI coding agent designed to handle planning, editing, testing, and automation tasks within your existing codebase. It operates directly from the command line, reading project context and executing changes only after user approval for safety.
The agent works through an interactive REPL that supports file mentions, slash commands, and keyboard shortcuts while integrating with Git for version control. It connects to various LLM providers including OpenAI, local models, and others, allowing flexible model switching during sessions.
This tool suits developers who prefer staying in the terminal without switching contexts, as well as teams automating repetitive engineering work in local setups or CI/CD pipelines.
