Codebuff

Codebuff is an AI-powered command-line coding agent that helps developers write, edit, and manage code through natural language conversations. Think of it as having a smart assistant living right in your terminal that can read and understand your entire project.

Unlike traditional coding tools that work in separate applications, Codebuff operates where developers already spend their time - the command line. It uses advanced AI models to analyze your codebase structure, dependencies, and patterns, then makes precise changes based on your requests. The tool automatically selects which files to read and modify, saving you time and reducing errors.

What makes Codebuff special is its deep understanding of context. It remembers previous conversations, learns your coding preferences, and stores this knowledge in readable markdown files. This means each interaction gets smarter and more personalized to your specific project needs.

Getting started with Codebuff is simple and requires just one command to install. First, make sure you have npm installed, then run npm install -g codebuff in your terminal. Once installed, navigate to any project directory and type codebuff to start chatting with your AI coding assistant.

The magic happens through natural language conversations. Instead of writing complex commands, you simply tell Codebuff what you want in plain English. For example, say "Add a dark mode toggle to my React app" or "Fix the authentication bug in the login component."

Here's how to get the best results:

• Be specific about what you want to accomplish

• Ask follow-up questions to refine the changes

• Let Codebuff run tests and install packages automatically

• Use the knowledge system to save project-specific information

• Review changes before accepting them

Codebuff automatically selects relevant files, makes changes, and can even run terminal commands like installing dependencies or running tests. The tool learns from each session, becoming more helpful over time.
