Automation

Run Kodezi CLI in non-interactive mode for scripting, CI/CD pipelines, and automated workflows.

Automation mode allows you to execute Kodezi CLI commands without starting interactive mode. This is useful when you need consistent, predictable results for:

CI/CD pipelines
Shell scripts
Batch file operations
Automated code reviews
Repeated scheduled tasks

It is the fastest way to run Kodezi for single shot instructions.

Run Command

Use kodezi run to execute a single instruction:

# One-off task
kodezi run "Generate a README for this project"

# Pipe input from another command
echo "Explain this code" | kodezi run

# Quiet mode for clean CI logs
kodezi run -q "Run tests and report results"

What These Do

One-off task: Executes exactly one instruction and exits.
Pipe input: Useful for automation scripts or when feeding external text.
Quiet mode: Removes animations/spinners so CI logs stay clean and readable.

Features

Automation mode offers:

Auto Approval Automatically approves permissions without prompting. Essential in CI environments.
Streaming Output Displays results instantly as they are generated.
Exit Codes Ensures pipelines can detect success or failure using standard exit codes.
Pipe Support Accepts input from stdin, enabling command chaining and scripting.

Use Cases

Continuous Integration

Integrate Kodezi directly into CI pipelines for automated code review, cleanup, or documentation tasks.

# GitHub Actions example
- name: Code Review
  run: |
    kodezi run "Review code changes and suggest improvements" \
      --yolo

This will automatically review code changes during the CI build process.

Shell Scripts

You can use Kodezi inside shell scripts to automate regular tasks.

# Daily code review script
cd /path/to/project
kodezi run -q "Check for code quality issues"

This script navigates to your project and runs a daily code quality check quietly.

Task Automation

Automate repetitive tasks, for example, updating all TypeScript files with JSDoc comments:

# Batch operations
for file in src/*.ts; do
  kodezi run "Add JSDoc comments to $file"
done

This loop processes every .ts file in the src folder automatically.
