CodeBrew

Quick start

Install, set your key, and start your first session.

The fastest path from nothing installed to a working session.

1. Install

npm install -g @buildwithatul/codebrew

2. Set your API key

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_key

3. Start with the guided flow

wakeup shows the banner, runs a preflight check, lets you pick a mode, then drops you into chat.

codebrew wakeup
The codebrew wakeup guided flow in the terminal: a preflight check confirming Node.js and the API key, followed by a mode picker showing agent, ask, and plan as selectable cards.
codebrew wakeup — preflight check, then pick a mode

Or skip the picker and jump straight into a specific mode:

codebrew chat --mode agent

Or ask a single question without starting a session:

codebrew talk "what does this project do?"
