Terminal coding agent
The Condukt CLI combines the portable agent loop with local workspace tools and an interactive conversation in the terminal.
Interactive mode#
Run condukt without a subcommand from the project you want to work on:
condukt
The slash menu exposes the same primary workflows as the command line:
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
/connect |
Connect an OpenRouter account or key |
/files |
List files at the workspace root |
/read <path> |
Read a workspace file |
/help |
Show available commands |
/quit |
Exit Condukt |
The coding agent can ask for two model tools:
readreads text from a path and truncates very large results.bashruns a shell command in the workspace with a bounded timeout.
Tool activity appears in the transcript so the user can see how an answer was produced.
Give Condukt useful context#
Start Condukt at the project root so file and command tools use the expected workspace. Describe the desired outcome, relevant constraints, and how the result should be validated.
For example:
Find the failing test, explain the root cause, and propose the smallest safe fix.
Continue elsewhere#
Use editor integration when another application should present the conversation. Use automation when you need one non-interactive task.
See the command-line reference for every terminal option.
