forgecodecli 2.0.0

A minimal agentic CLI for forging code

ForgeCodeCLI

An agentic, file-aware command-line tool that lets you manage and modify your codebase using natural language — powered by LLMs.

It acts as a safe, deterministic AI agent that can read files, create/delete directories, and write code only through explicit tools, not raw hallucination.

Features

• ✅ Agentic workflow - LLM decides actions, CLI executes them safely
• ✅ File operations - Read, list, create, write, delete, move files & directories
• ✅ Undo support - Reverse the last file operation with undo
• ✅ Multi-provider LLMs - Gemini, OpenAI (GPT), Anthropic (Claude), Groq
• ✅ Model selection - Choose specific models for each provider
• ✅ Secure storage - API keys stored in system keyring (no env vars)
• ✅ Deterministic - Rule-based execution with validation
• ✅ Interactive CLI - Real-time agent feedback

Installation

Requires Python 3.9+

pip install forgecodecli

Optional: For Anthropic (Claude) support, install with the anthropic extra:

pip install forgecodecli[anthropic]

Or install later when prompted during setup.

Quick Start

Initialize (one-time setup)

forgecodecli init

You will be prompted to:

1. Select LLM Provider

   1) Google Gemini
   2) OpenAI
   3) Anthropic (Claude)
   4) Groq
   

2. Select Model (varies by provider)

   • Gemini: gemini-2.5-flash, gemini-2.0-flash, gemini-1.5-pro
   • OpenAI: gpt-4o, gpt-4-turbo, gpt-3.5-turbo
   • Claude: claude-3-5-sonnet, claude-3-opus, claude-3-haiku
   • Groq: llama-3.3-70b, mixtral-8x7b, gemma2-9b-it

3. Enter API Key (stored securely in system keyring)

Start the agent

forgecodecli

You are now in interactive agent mode. Example commands:

create a folder src/app with main.py that prints "Hello World"
read the config.py file
list all files in src
delete old_backup folder
move test.py to tests/test.py
undo

Type help for built-in commands, or press Ctrl + C to exit.

Reset Configuration

To remove all configuration and API keys:

forgecodecli reset

Security

• API keys are stored using the system keyring
• No API keys are written to config files or environment variables
• Config files contain only non-sensitive metadata

How It Works

1. You enter a natural language command
2. The LLM decides the next valid action
3. ForgeCodeCLI executes the action with validation
4. The agent receives feedback and responds
5. Process repeats until agent provides an answer

Safety mechanisms:

• Action limit of 2 per request (prevents infinite loops)
• Conversation context maintained for agent awareness
• All operations logged and reversible with undo
• Strict tool validation

Supported Actions

The agent can execute these operations:

File Operations:

Action	Description
read_file	Read and display file contents
list_files	List files in a directory
create_dir	Create new directories
write_file	Create and write files
delete_file	Delete files permanently
delete_dir	Delete directories
move_file	Move or rename files
move_dir	Move or rename directories
undo	Reverse the last operation

Git Operations:

Action	Description
git_init	Initialize git repository
git_add	Stage files for commit
git_commit	Commit staged changes
git_push	Push to remote repository
git_set_origin	Set remote repository URL
git_status	Show repository status
git_log	View commit history
git_branch	Manage branches
git_pull	Pull from remote
git_clone	Clone a repository

All actions are executed safely with validation and error handling.

What's Available

• File operations (read, list, create, write, delete, move)
• Undo functionality - Stack-based operation reversal
• Git operations - init, add, commit, push, pull, status, log, branch, clone, set_origin
• Multi-provider support - Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq
• Model selection - Choose specific models per provider
• Auto-install SDKs - Anthropic SDK installs on demand
• Proper conversation flow with max actions per request

Coming Soon

• Copy files/directories
• Full undo/redo history (not just last operation)
• File search capabilities
• Code generation templates
• Batch operations
• Backup/snapshot functionality
