CodeBot AI

Autonomous AI coding agent with built-in governance. Any LLM. Runs locally. MIT licensed.

Quick Start

npm install -g codebot-ai
codebot --setup                    # auto-detects local and cloud LLMs
codebot "refactor auth to use JWT" # run a task
codebot --dashboard                # web UI at localhost:3120

Key Features

• Governance-first — every tool call passes through a constitutional safety engine (CORD) that risk-scores actions across 14 dimensions before execution
• Any LLM, anywhere — 8 providers: run fully local with Ollama/LM Studio/vLLM, or connect to Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral, xAI
• 32 built-in tools — code editing, shell, Chrome automation, Git, Docker, databases, web search, deep research, scheduled routines, and more
• Cryptographic audit trail — SHA-256 hash-chained logs with SARIF export for CI integration
• Zero external dependencies — entire runtime built on Node.js built-ins; no Express, no Axios, no ORM

Extend

import { Agent, AnthropicProvider } from 'codebot-ai';

const agent = new Agent({
  provider: new AnthropicProvider({
    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
    model: 'claude-sonnet-4-6',
  }),
  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-6',
  autoApprove: true,
});

for await (const event of agent.run('list all TypeScript files')) {
  if (event.type === 'text') process.stdout.write(event.text || '');
}
