Package Exports

  • koincode

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (koincode) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

koincode

An open source local-first terminal coding agent. Peer programming with any frontier model or local/free models to run agentic development directly in your terminal with two modes — PLAN (read-only analysis) and BUILD (full file editing and bash execution).

No auth. No billing. Bring your own API keys.

Installation

One command, no dependencies — no Bun or Node runtime required at execution time:

# macOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KONY05/koincode/main/install.sh | sh
# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KONY05/koincode/main/install.ps1 | iex

Or install via npm — this pulls down a prebuilt native binary for your platform (no Bun needed):

npm i -g koincode

Also works with other package managers:

bun i -g koincode
pnpm i -g koincode
yarn global add koincode

Or download a binary directly from GitHub Releases.

Setup

Add your API keys directly from the command line:

koincode --anthropic-key <your-key>
koincode --openai-key <your-key>
koincode --gemini-key <your-key>
koincode --openrouter-key <your-key>

Or run koincode and use /setup from the in-app command menu to add keys interactively.

Usage

koincode

This opens the terminal UI. From there you can:

  • Start a new session or resume a previous one
  • Switch between PLAN mode (reads files, no writes) and BUILD mode (edits files, runs bash)
  • Stream responses from your chosen AI model in real time

Supported Models

  • Claude (Anthropic) — default: claude-sonnet-5
  • GPT (OpenAI)
  • Gemini (Google)
  • OpenRouter — including free models
  • Local models via Ollama

How It Works

koincode runs a local server in the background (port 37420 by default) that handles AI orchestration and session persistence. The terminal UI connects to it and executes any tool calls — file reads, writes, edits, bash — locally on your machine.

The server never touches your filesystem. All tool execution happens client-side.

Optional: Browser Tools

Browser tools (automated testing via Playwright) are opt-in:

koincode --enable-browser-tools   # Detects Chrome or prompts to download Chromium
koincode --disable-browser-tools

Or use /enable-browser-tools from the command menu inside a session.

Custom Port

koincode --port 8080

The server defaults to port 37420 if not specified.

Updating

koincode --update

Works regardless of how koincode was installed (curl, npm, or a package manager) — it detects the install method and updates in place.

All Flags

koincode --help

Prints the full list of flags (keys, port, browser tools, update, version).
