Code Cognition — Your Local AI-Powered Code Assistant
A powerful CLI tool that brings AI-powered code cognition to your terminal.
Review code, generate functions, search semantically, refactor projects, and interact with an AI code agent—all running locally with Ollama.
Everything you need to supercharge your development workflow, running entirely on your local machine.
Analyze code for bugs, security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and style problems. Get actionable suggestions with severity levels.
Generate functions, classes, scripts, and unit tests from natural language descriptions. Includes type hints and docstrings.
Search your codebase using natural language queries. Powered by RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) for intelligent results.
Edit files with natural language instructions. Preview changes before applying, with automatic backup support.
Refactor across multiple files at once. Add docstrings, convert patterns, or apply consistent changes project-wide.
Rename functions, classes, and variables across your entire project. Smart detection ensures all references are updated.
Have conversations with AI about your code. Ask questions, get explanations, and receive suggestions interactively.
Create a searchable semantic index of your codebase. Enables fast, intelligent code discovery and context retrieval.
Interactive agent that understands your intent. Generate, review, edit, explain, and refactor code with natural language commands.
Smart intent detection automatically routes your requests to the right handler—generate, review, edit, explain, or refactor.
Get up and running in minutes with these simple steps.
