Codey 🦫

Codey is a versatile CLI and Node.js toolkit for leveraging LLMs to help with computer programming tasks.

Basic Idea

The basic idea of Codey is to put LLMs on the command line, like this:

codey prompt "What is 1 + 1?"

Output

1 + 1 is 2.

Read on for more details.

Installation

Install globally using npm:

npm install -g @codeybeaver/codey

This provides one global command:

• codey  —  Main entry point for Codey

Usage

Help

For full usage instructions, run:

codey --help

Command List

A brief overview of available commands:

• prompt  —  Send a prompt to the LLM and get a response
• save  —  Save a prompt and response to a markdown file
• buffer  —  Buffer input for later processing
• format  —  Format markdown output for better readability
• color  —  Colorize markdown output for better visibility
• models  —  List available LLM models
• providers  —  List available LLM providers

Example Workflows

# Simple math prompt
codey prompt "What is 2 plus 2?"

# Code generation
codey prompt "Generate a JavaScript function that reverses an array"

# Save the prompt and response to a markdown file
codey save --file codey.md "Generate a Python function to calculate factorial"

# If you don't specify the file name, it will default to `codey.md`
codey save "Generate a Python function to calculate Fibonacci sequence"
# ^ This will create or overwrite `codey.md`

# Pipe input as prompt
cat my-instructions.txt | codey prompt

# Generate, buffer, format, and colorize Markdown output
codey prompt "Show me a Python bubble sort function with comments in Markdown." | codey buffer | codey format | codey color

# Buffer and format direct Markdown input
echo "# Quick Note\n\nThis is a short note with a code block:\n\n\`\`\`bash\necho 'Hello, World!'\n\`\`\`" | codey buffer | codey format

# Format and colorize without buffering
codey prompt "Write a short Markdown note." | codey format | codey color
