Chad Bridge

Connect your local machine to Chad AI — give Chad access to your filesystem, terminal, and git.

Quick Start

npx chad-bridge --key dc_your_api_key

Or install globally:

npm install -g chad-bridge
chad-bridge --key dc_your_api_key --dir /path/to/project

What it does

Chad Bridge creates a secure WebSocket connection between your local machine and Chad AI. This lets Chad:

• Read your code — understand your project structure and file contents
• Write files — create and edit code directly on your machine
• Run commands — execute terminal commands (with your approval)
• Git operations — status, diff, commit, push (writes require approval)

Approval Model

| Action | Auto-Approved | |--------|:---:| | Read files | ✅ | | List directories | ✅ | | Search files | ✅ | | Git status/diff/log | ✅ | | Write/edit files | ❌ | | Delete files | ❌ | | Run commands | ❌ | | Git commit/push | ❌ | | Install dependencies | ❌ |

Write operations show a prompt in your browser and terminal. You must approve before they execute.

Options

-k, --key <key>       API key from disclosedcapitol.com/account (required)
-d, --dir <directory>  Working directory (default: current directory)
--auto-approve         Auto-approve all commands (use with caution)
-v, --verbose          Verbose logging

Get your API key

1. Go to disclosedcapitol.com/account
2. Create an API key
3. Use it with --key

Security

• All communication is encrypted (WSS)
• Write operations require explicit approval
• Bridge only accesses the directory you specify
• No data is stored on our servers — commands execute on your machine
• You can disconnect at any time with Ctrl+C
