Crow

A lean, hackable AI agent for your terminal.

Teach it new tricks with skills, extensions, themes, and prompt templates — or drop in a package someone else built.

Installation

npm install -g @crow-agent/coding-agent

Requires Node.js 22.19 or newer.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pooraddyy/crow/main/install.sh | sh

crow --version   # verify

Usage

cd /path/to/project
crow

Run /login inside Crow to connect an AI provider, then describe what you need.

Modes

| | Command | Description | |---|---|---| | Interactive | crow | Full terminal UI — chat, tools, file editing | | Print | crow -p "explain this" | Single answer, no UI | | JSON | crow -p --output-format json "..." | Machine-readable output for scripts | | RPC | crow --rpc | Programmatic control over JSON-RPC |

Capabilities

Agentic coding — read, write, edit, search files and run shell commands directly in your project.

Skills & extensions — package reusable behaviors as npm packages and share them.

Prompt templates — slash commands for repeatable workflows (/commit, /review).

Themes — restyle the terminal interface.

MCP servers — extend with Model Context Protocol tools.

Headless & SDK — automate via print/JSON/RPC modes or build on @crow-agent/agent-core.
