Launching Code: open-source coding CLI for browser control & multi-agent workflows

Hi devs! 👋

We've just open-sourced Code, a community-driven coding CLI that integrates directly with your browser and multiple AI agents. Code is a fork of OpenAI’s codex project and is built with developer ergonomics in mind.

Why we built it

Current coding assistants are mostly chatbots; they’re good at answering questions but clunky when you’re actually coding. We wanted a tool that feels native to your workflow, runs locally, and gives you control. Code uses Chrome’s DevTools Protocol to understand your browser, features a unified diff viewer, supports themes, and lets you orchestrate multiple agents from OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude) and Google (Gemini) with simple commands like /plan, /solve and /code.

Key features

• Browser control: introspect and manipulate DOM, network, storage, runtime and create tasks across tabs via the Chrome DevTools Protocol.

• Multi-agent workflows: spin up multiple models and have them collaborate; agent commands such as /plan, /solve and /code guide the process.

• Unified diff viewer: inspect code changes before applying them; integrated with Git for comfortable workflows.

• Reasoning control: set step-by-step goals, adjust safety modes (read-only or approvals) and apply memory/explain features.

• Themes & customisation: switch between light/dark modes and configure your environment.

Quick start

You can try Code in a minute:

# run with npx (no install)
npx -y @just-every/code

# or install globally
npm install -g @just-every/code
code  # run command (use 'coder' if 'code' is taken)

After launching, sign in with ChatGPT or set your OPENAI_API_KEY. You can also install additional CLIs to talk to other models:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
npm install -g @google/gemini-cli

Then you can use /agent claude.plan or /agent gemini.solve to switch models mid‑session.
