A E X - C O D E

AEX Code is a CLI application that functions as an advanced coding agent similar to Claude Code. It is optimized for free-tier usage via OpenRouter models and provides a clean UI with both interactive and command-based workflows. This project was developed by Md. Abid Hasan Rafi and powered by AI Extension.

Features

• Code Generation and Explanation: Interactive terminal sessions within your workspace.
• File Management: Create, review, and edit files with context-aware AI assistance.
• Safe Shell Commands: Execute shell commands with controlled output handling.
• Multi-file Context Processing: Build rich context from your codebase across multiple files.
• Configurable Models: Use OpenRouter API keys to select preferred models. Defaults to qwen/qwen3-coder:free.

Requirements

• Node.js >= 16

Setup and Configuration

1. Install globally:

   npm install -g aex-code

2. Configure your OpenRouter API key:
