Codebuff
Codebuff is an open-source terminal coding agent that analyzes repositories, edits files, runs commands, and reviews code.

In inglese
Codebuff runs from a terminal and coordinates specialized agents for file discovery, planning, coding, research, terminal commands, and code review. It can write features, tests, and scripts, modify build configuration, and answer questions about a repository.
Developers install it with npm and run it in a project directory. Usage is billed per credit or through monthly Strong subscriptions; the pricing page does not list a free tier. The product also provides an API key and an SDK for programmatic agent workflows.
