Drive Code Buddy (the `buddy` multi-provider AI coding-agent CLI) from the command line — run it headless on a single prompt, pin it to a free local Ollama model or a paid one, edit files autonomously, start the HTTP/fleet server, and run the autonomous fleet loop. Use when the user wants to invoke, test, script, or automate the `buddy` CLI; run Code Buddy headlessly or inside another agent; run it on local/free models; start the server or multi-AI fleet; run autonomous coding tasks; or when…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Using Code Buddy (`buddy`) Code Buddy is an agentic coding CLI: given a prompt it reads files, calls tools, edits code, runs commands, and can act fully autonomously. This skill is about **operating** that CLI correctly — the non-obvious parts are provider/model selection and headless flags. ## 1. Find the entrypoint There is no single `buddy` binary guaranteed on PATH. Resolve in this order: ```bash command -v buddy # global install (npm i -g @phuetz/code-buddy, or `npm link` in the repo) ./node_modules/.bin/tsx src/index.ts # dev, from the repo root (no build needed) ← default inside this repo node dist/index.js # built (after `npm run build`) ``` Inside this repo `buddy` is usually NOT linked — use `./node_modules/.bin/tsx src/index.ts`. ## 2. Headless one-shot (the default for scripting/agents) ```bash buddy -p "<prompt>" --output-format text # process one prompt and exit (alias: --print) buddy -p "<prompt>" --output-format json # machine-readable result ``` Headless mode auto-approves operations. Exit code reflects success/failure. `--output-format json` is best when another program parses the result. …

How to install
mdr add phuetz/code-buddy/code-buddy@sha256:aa7f9873983e6378The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.5168eeb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
