CLI agent

The whole engine, from your shell.

The CLI is not a lite version - it is the same agentic core as the IDE with a terminal policy profile. Same sessions, same checkpoints, same skills, same safety rules.

nexcoder - agent mode
The NexCoder CLI startup splash and an agent run: typing a task, the session panel, then plan, permission prompt, and a verified result.

Everyday commands

Interactive by default: the agent asks before each command, and [a]lways adds it to the project allowlist.

Interactive

Prompts before each command; [a]lways adds it to the allowlist.

nexcoder --project C:\MyApp "fix the failing test"

Full auto

No command prompts; risky commands are still denied.

nexcoder --auto --project C:\MyApp "build a landing page"

Mode profiles

agent | ask | edit | debug | review | scan

nexcoder --mode review --project C:\MyApp "review the auth module"

Skills

Invoke a skill inline or by flag.

nexcoder "/commit group and commit my changes"

Machine-readable events

JSONL event stream for tooling and CI.

nexcoder --jsonl --project C:\MyApp "scan the project"

Built for automation

Full-auto mode drops the prompts but still denies risky commands. The JSONL flag turns every run into a machine-readable event stream.

--auto

No command prompts for unattended runs. The risky-command denylist stays active no matter what.

--mode

agent, ask, edit, debug, review, or scan - pick the policy profile that fits the job, including read-only profiles for CI review gates.

--jsonl

Compact JSONL events for every step of a run - plans, edits, commands, verification - ready to pipe into your tooling.
