Quake Code

Quake Code is a terminal-first coding assistant for reading files, editing code, running shell commands, managing sessions, and working across multiple model providers from one CLI.

Why Quake Code

• Built for terminal-native coding workflows
• Fast interactive UI with sessions, resume, and export
• Built-in file and shell tools for real repo work
• Supports themes, extensions, prompts, and skills
• Uses its own config directory: ~/.quake-code/agent

Install

npm install -g @mrquake/quakecode-cli

Start it with either command:

quake

or:

quake-code

Update

quake update

OpenRouter: use any model you want

Set your OpenRouter API key:

export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=...

PowerShell:

$env:OPENROUTER_API_KEY="..."

Then launch Quake Code with any OpenRouter model ID:

quake --provider openrouter --model qwen/qwen3.6-plus:free

Other examples:

quake --provider openrouter --model qwen/qwen3-coder:free
quake --provider openrouter --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
quake --provider openrouter --model openai/gpt-4o

If a model exists on OpenRouter but is not yet bundled in Quake's known model list, Quake can still fall back to that custom model ID.

First Run

Inside Quake Code, common starting commands are:

• /login — authenticate with a provider
• /model — choose a model
• /settings — open settings
• /resume — resume a previous session
• /init — generate an AGENTS.md template for the current project

Core Features

• Interactive terminal UI
• Session save, resume, fork, compact, and export
• Built-in file tools: read, bash, edit, write, grep, find, ls
• Bundled browser automation tools and bundled web_search
• Bundled Quake skills and subagents support
• Skills, prompts, themes, and extensions
• Project instructions via AGENTS.md
• Multiple providers and model switching

Quick Examples

quake
quake "Review the current project"
quake -p "Summarize this repository"
quake --tools read,grep,find,ls -p "Review this codebase"

Config Paths

Quake Code uses its own runtime state and configuration paths:

• Config root: ~/.quake-code/agent
• Settings: ~/.quake-code/agent/settings.json
• Auth: ~/.quake-code/agent/auth.json
• Sessions: ~/.quake-code/agent/sessions
• Extensions: ~/.quake-code/agent/extensions
• Skills: ~/.quake-code/agent/skills
• Prompts: ~/.quake-code/agent/prompts
• Themes: ~/.quake-code/agent/themes

Environment Variables

• QUAKE_CODE_CODING_AGENT_DIR
• QUAKE_CODE_PACKAGE_DIR
• QUAKE_CODE_OFFLINE
• QUAKE_CODE_SHARE_VIEWER_URL
• QUAKE_CODE_AI_ANTIGRAVITY_VERSION

Provider-specific environment variables still apply, for example:

• ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
• OPENAI_API_KEY
• GEMINI_API_KEY
• OPENROUTER_API_KEY
• AWS_PROFILE

Packaging Notes
