Overview
Codebuff is an open-source, multi-agent AI coding assistant that analyzes project structure, plans edits, applies precise code changes, and runs verification tests. Its agent-based design (File Explorer, Planner, Editor, Reviewer) enables richer context understanding and safer automated modifications compared to single-model approaches.
Key Features
- Multi-agent architecture for modular, auditable code changes.
- CLI and SDK (TypeScript) for local and CI integration.
- Custom agent definitions and a marketplace of reusable agents.
- Automated testing and semantic commit generation after changes.
Use Cases
- Automated bug fixes and security patches validated by tests.
- Large-scale refactors or migrations (dependency updates, API changes).
- CI integration to automate code changes and review workflows.
- Building reusable code-generation or repair agents for teams.
Technical Highlights
- Primarily implemented in TypeScript with cross-language analysis capabilities.
- Supports multiple model backends via OpenRouter and similar providers.
- SDK and generators for composing complex agent workflows and tools.
