README

CodeBrew

**Brew your code with AI.** A terminal AI coding agent that can read, explore, edit, and run your code — with permission modes that keep you in control.

CodeBrew wraps the [Anthropic Claude Agent SDK](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk) in a friendly, colorful CLI. Ask questions about a codebase, plan a change, or let it do the work — you decide how much freedom it gets.

Install

npm install -g @buildwithatul/codebrew

Requires **Node.js 18+** and an **Anthropic API key** ([get one here](https://console.anthropic.com/)).

The npm **package** is `@buildwithatul/codebrew`; the **command** you type is `codebrew`.

Quick Start

Set your API key. The simplest way is an environment variable (works from any directory):

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Alternatively, create a `.env` file **in the directory you run `codebrew` from** — CodeBrew reads `.env` from your current working directory, not from where the package is installed:

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Then launch the guided start — banner, environment check, and a mode picker:

codebrew wakeup

Or jump straight into a chat:

codebrew chat --mode agent

Commands

Command	Description
`codebrew wakeup`	Guided start: banner, preflight check, mode picker, then chat.
`codebrew chat [--mode ] [--verbose]`	Interactive streaming chat session with conversation memory.
`codebrew talk ""`	One-off single-shot prompt.
`codebrew doctor`	Verify Node.js 18+ and that your API key is set.
`codebrew hello`	Show the welcome banner.

Slash commands (inside a chat session)

Command	What it does
`/mode agent\|ask\|plan`	Switch permission mode live, no restart.
`/help`	Show the slash-command list.
`/context`	Show context-window usage for the session.
