Your AI coding agent. Any model. Any provider.
31 tools. 15 skills. Full MCP support. Run xAI Grok at 1/15th the cost of Claude Code, or bring any provider you want. Open source, built for professionals.
Everything you need
A complete AI coding agent with the tools, skills, and intelligence to handle real-world development tasks.
Multi-Provider
6 providers: xAI Grok, Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Ollama (local), Groq, DeepSeek. Auto-failover with exponential backoff.
31 Built-in Tools
Glob, Grep, Read, Edit, Write, Bash, PowerShell, and 24 more. Every tool an agent needs to navigate, understand, and modify your codebase.
MCP Support
Connect to any Model Context Protocol server. Extend your agent with databases, APIs, browser automation, and custom tools.
15 Skills
From commit workflows to security audits. Skills are composable, multi-step capabilities that chain tools together intelligently.
Plan Mode
Think before acting. Plan mode lets the agent reason through complex tasks, outline steps, and get your approval before executing.
Smart Context
Automatic 3-tier context compression with 2M token windows on Grok. Provider-aware limits, auto-compaction, and visual context bar.
Autopilot
Autonomous codebase scanner. Scan for issues, build a work queue, then let the agent fix, test, PR, and merge — fully hands-off.
Image Support
Drag-and-drop images directly into the terminal. Smart paste collapses large payloads automatically to preserve context.
Watch it work
A real AshlrCode session. The agent reads your codebase, plans edits, and executes — all from one prompt.
Up and running in 60 seconds
Three steps. No accounts, no subscriptions, no vendor lock-in.
