📦 Installation
Recommended: pipx
pipx install neocoder
Alternative: uv
uv tool install neocoder
Local development
# Clone and install
cd neoCoder
pip install -e .
# With development dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"
# With MCP server support
pip install -e ".[mcp]"
🚀 Quick Start
1️⃣ Initialize Configuration
neocoder \init-config # Create example configuration
2️⃣ Set API Key or SSO
🪟 Windows CMD
set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key
set ZENMUX_API_KEY=your-key
💠 Windows PowerShell
$env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key"
$env:ZENMUX_API_KEY="your-key"
🐧 Linux / macOS
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key
export ZENMUX_API_KEY=your-key
Enterprise SSO example:
neocoder sso login --url https://codemie.lab.epam.com
neoCoder will normalize this to the CodeMie API base and open the browser against /code-assistant-api/v1/auth/login/<port> automatically.
EPAM enterprise access is configured in a dedicated epam_sso settings section with its own URL, provider route, and model selection.
When epam_sso.enabled is true, neoCoder prompts for interactive SSO login on startup if no valid local session exists.
3️⃣ Run
# Interactive mode
neocoder
# Single task
neocoder "Create a Python hello world script"
# With options
neocoder --mode debug "Fix test_api.py"
neocoder --preset thorough "Refactor auth module"

✨ Professional Engineering Mode (Workflow Preset) ✨
The workflow preset is a production-grade, 8-stage development process with brainstorming, detailed planning, testing, and code review - designed for complex engineering tasks.
neocoder --preset workflow "your complex task"
8-Stage Engineering Pipeline:
| Stage | Description | Auto-Approve |
|---|---|---|
| 1️⃣ Problem Breakdown | Decomposes task into subtasks with dependencies | ❌ Requires approval |
| 2️⃣ Brainstorming | High-level approach, alternatives, trade-offs, risks | ❌ Requires approval |
| 3️⃣ Implementation Plan | Creates detailed step-by-step plan based on brainstorming | ❌ Requires approval |
| 4️⃣ Implementation | Executes the plan with file operations | ✅ Auto-proceeds |
| 5️⃣ Integration Testing | Runs automated tests with retry logic | ✅ Auto-proceeds |
| 6️⃣ Tech Stack Review | Validates against best practices | ✅ Auto-proceeds |
| 7️⃣ Code Review | Automated review using project rules | ✅ Auto-proceeds |
| 8️⃣ Merge Preparation | Generates commit-ready summary | ✅ Auto-proceeds |
Key Features:
- 🔄 Stateful execution - Resume interrupted workflows
- 📊 Extended context - 16K tokens, 250 iterations
- 🎯 Deterministic - Temperature 0.0 for consistency
- 🔍 Quality gates - Automatic testing and code review
- 📝 Conventional commits - Auto-generated commit messages
Example Usage:
# Start a complex feature
neocoder --preset workflow "Add OAuth2 authentication with JWT tokens"
# Resume if interrupted (state is saved)
neocoder --preset workflow "Add OAuth2 authentication with JWT tokens"
# Prompt: Continue from previous state? (y/n)
# Reset workflow state
neocoder workflow reset
Real Complex Example
neocoder "Design a full-stack web application for a cryptocurrency trading bot dashboard.
The application should allow users to monitor their bot's performance in real-time, including current holdings, profit/loss, open trades, and historical performance data visualized through interactive charts.
Users should be able to configure trading parameters, such as risk tolerance, stop-loss levels, and take-profit targets, through an intuitive interface.
The application should feature secure authentication and authorization, protecting user data and trading credentials.
The backend should be built using Node.js with Express.js, utilizing a PostgreSQL database for data persistence.
The frontend should be built using React, with a clean and modern design emphasizing data visualization and ease of use.
The application should include robust error handling and logging capabilities.
The deployment should be considered, suggesting a suitable cloud platform and deployment strategy.
Provide the complete codebase, including frontend, backend, and database schema, ready for deployment.
The application should be named 'LovableBotDashboard'"
When to use Workflow Preset:
- ✅ Complex features requiring multiple files
- ✅ Refactoring with extensive testing
- ✅ Production-critical changes
- ✅ Team projects with code review requirements
- ❌ Quick fixes or single-file changes (use default mode)
Standard Presets
# Fast mode - Quick iterations
neocoder --preset fast "Fix the login bug"
# Thorough mode - Extended analysis
neocoder --preset thorough "Refactor auth module"
Workflow Commands
neocoder --preset workflow "your task" # Run with workflow preset
neocoder workflow status # Check workflow status
neocoder workflow reset # Reset workflow state
System Commands

| 2️⃣ | Bottlenecks | N+1 queries, sync I/O in loops, inefficient operations |
| 3️⃣ | Best Practices | Missing docs/JSDoc, mutable defaults, proper comparisons |
| 4️⃣ | Pitfalls | Broad exception catching, empty catch blocks, assert misuse |
| 5️⃣ | Security | Deserialization, command injection, path traversal, insecure HTTP |
Additional Checks (all universal)
- 🔒 Security: Hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, eval/exec, insecure YAML, debug flags
- 🐛 Syntax: Parse errors (Python AST), brace/bracket balance (JS/TS)
- 📊 Complexity: Cyclomatic complexity, nesting depth
- 🎨 Style: Code duplication, dead code / unused imports
- 🏷️ Types: Missing type hints (Python),
anyusage (TypeScript)
Example Output:
✓ Code Review: Score 85/100, 2 issue(s)
[critical] No Anti-Patterns (line 45): God Object: Class 'UserManager' has 25 methods (>20)
→ Fix: Split into smaller, focused classes (Single Responsibility Principle)

"neocoder": {
"command": "python",
"args": [
"-m",
"neoCoder.mcp.server"
],
"env": {}
}
}
}
Or using the CLI:
