Akili Code is a terminal-native AI coding assistant. It can read and write code, run commands, manage Git, and use a persistent memory system to keep a deep understanding of your project across sessions while continuously improving itself.

Akili Code supports connecting to any mainstream LLM provider API.

Quick Start

# Install via npm
npm install -g @akili-ai/akilicode

# Run
akili

The first launch guides you through configuration automatically. Supported options:

• Custom Provider — add any OpenAI-compatible API in the TUI
• Import from Claude Code — migrate existing authentication in one step

Core Features

• Multiple Agents — build (default), plan (read-only analysis), compose (specs-driven orchestration); press Tab to switch
• Persistent Memory — cross-session project knowledge, checkpoints, and task progress powered by SQLite FTS5
• Intelligent Context Management — automatic checkpoints, context reconstruction, and budgeted injection to stay within model limits
• Task Tracking — tree-shaped task system integrated with the checkpoint system
• Subagent System — parallel subagents with lifecycle tracking, cancellation, and background execution
• Goal / Stop Condition — judge model prevents premature stops during autonomous work
• Compose Mode — structured workflow for specs-driven development with built-in skills
• Dream & Distill — extract knowledge into memory (/dream) and discover reusable workflows (/distill)
