Introduction

Welcome to Codive

Codive is an AI-powered coding agent that works alongside you in your terminal. It understands your codebase, writes production-quality code, and helps you ship features faster.

Why Codive?

Modern software development is complex. You’re juggling multiple languages, frameworks, APIs, and best practices. Codive acts as your AI pair programmer, helping you:

• Write code faster - Describe what you need, and Codive generates production-ready code
• Debug smarter - Find and fix bugs with AI that understands your entire codebase
• Learn as you go - Get explanations and suggestions tailored to your project
• Stay in flow - Work entirely in your terminal, no context switching

Key Features

CLI First

Codive runs in your terminal. No browser tabs, no distractions—just you and your code.

Codebase Aware

Understands your project structure, dependencies, and patterns to generate contextual code.

Extensible Tools

Add custom tools to extend Codive’s capabilities for your specific workflows.

Multi-Provider

Works with Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT-4, and other LLM providers.

How It Works

1. You describe what you need - In plain English, tell Codive what you want to build or fix
2. Codive analyzes your codebase - It reads your project structure, understands patterns, and plans the implementation
3. Code is generated - Codive writes files, makes edits, and runs commands
4. You review and iterate - Accept changes, ask for modifications, or guide the AI in a different direction

Quick Example

$ codive "add a health check endpoint to the API"

Analyzing your codebase...
Found axum web server in src/main.rs

Planning implementation:
  1. Add health check handler
  2. Register route at /health
  3. Return JSON status response

Writing src/handlers/health.rs...
Updating src/main.rs...

Done! Health check endpoint available at GET /health
