CodeWork Documentation
CodeWork is a coding agent you run from your terminal, inside your editor, or as a server. Bring any model, extend it with plugins, and run it on your machine or in a sandbox.
CodeWork reads your codebase, plans changes, edits files, and runs commands to check its work. You pick the model, from a ChatGPT or Copilot subscription, an API key, or a model running on your own machine.
Start Here
Quickstart
Install the CLI, connect a model, and make your first change.
Models & Pricing
Sign in with a subscription or bring your own API key.
Catalog & Prices
Every built-in model with its price, context window, and thinking levels.
How It Works
The agent
What happens in a run, from your prompt to the last tool call.
Tools
The built-in tools, and how to turn them on and off.
Sessions
Every run is saved, so you can continue it from anywhere.
Sandboxes
Run on your machine, in memory, or in a cloud sandbox.
Use It Where You Work
Terminal
codework run streams the answer to your terminal, and keeps every session to continue later.
Your editor
Use CodeWork as the agent in Zed, or any editor that speaks the Agent Client Protocol.
A server
Keep sessions and sandboxes running in codework serve and drive them from your own tools.

Make It Yours
Instructions
Give CodeWork your project’s rules with an AGENTS.md file.
Plugins
Add tools and system prompt sections from npm, git, or a file in your repo.
Settings
Set a default model, turn tools on and off, and tune retries per project.
Custom Models
Run a local model or route through your company’s gateway.
Work Safely
CodeWork has no permission prompts: it runs shell commands and edits files without asking. Run it in a git repository so you can review and undo its changes, and use a sandbox when you don’t want it touching your machine.
