Everything you need to run Openkody locally — from install to plugging in your own model.
Openkody is an open-source AI coding assistant that runs on your machine. The CLI is the primary interface; editor extensions for VS Code, Zed, and Neovim wrap the same engine. Source code never leaves your environment — the only outbound network hop is the model endpoint you choose.
Quickstart
Install the CLI, run your first command, and index a repo in about two minutes.
Bring your own model
Wire up Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
What Openkody is
A local-first pair programmer. Run openkody ask to query your codebase in natural language, openkody fix to apply patches with a diff preview, and openkody review to get a second pair of eyes on a change. You bring the model; Openkody handles indexing, retrieval, and the edit loop.
Interfaces
- CLI — the source of truth. Everything Openkody can do is a command.
- Editor extensions — VS Code, Zed, and Neovim wrappers that drive the same engine.
