Description: Fox CLI - interactive AI coding assistant in the terminal
Author: foxcli
Latest version: 2.1.92

# Foxcli

Foxcli is an interactive AI coding assistant in the terminal, built upon the leaked code of [Claude Code](https://github.com/claude-code-best/claude-code).
Therefore, the way to use Foxcli is exactly the same as that of standard Claude Code. Even more exciting is that Foxcli is deeply integrated with [LangRouter](https://langrouter.ai/),
allowing you to friendly use and switch between mainstream LLM models (including claude opus 4.6, claude sonnet 4.6, kimi k2.5, minimax M2.5, deepseek v3.2, etc.) within an ongoing session as needed, without interrupting your context.

Why not integrate with OpenRouter? OpenRouter's API for Claude models is too expensive! Moreover, OpenRouter's Anthropic API interface is not as compatible with the official Claude Code API interface.

## Quick Start

### Requirements

- [Bun](https://bun.sh/) >= 1.3.11
- Go to [LangRouter](https://langrouter.ai/) register an account, save your api-key, and ensure your account has sufficient balance (you can deposit $2 for testing)

### Installation

```bash
bun install
```

### Running

```bash
# Development mode
bun run dev

# Build and run
bun run build && bun dist/cli.js
```

The build uses code splitting with multiple files (`build.ts`), outputting to the `dist/` directory (entry point `dist/cli.js` + ~450 chunk files).

The built version can be started with both bun and node. You can publish to a private registry and start directly.

If you encounter any bugs, please open an issue and we will prioritize fixing them.

## Technical Notes

### Runtime Polyfill

The entry file `src/entrypoints/cli.tsx` injects necessary polyfills at the top:

- `feature()` — All feature flags return `false`, skipping unimplemented branches
- `globalThis.MACRO` — Simulates build-time macro injection (VERSION, etc.)

### Monorepo

The project uses Bun workspaces to manage internal packages. Stubs that were manually placed in `node_modules/` have been migrated to `packages/`, resolved via `workspace:*`.

## Feature Flags Explained

The original Claude Code uses `feature()` from `bun:bundle` to inject feature flags at build time, controlled by A/B testing platforms like GrowthBook for gradual rollout. In this project, `feature()` is polyfilled to always return `false`, so all 30 flags below are disabled.

### Autonomous Agents

| Flag | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `KAIROS` | Assistant mode — Long-running autonomous agent (includes brief, push notifications, file sending) |
| `KAIROS_BRIEF` | Kairos Brief — Send briefing summaries to users |
| `KAIROS_CHANNELS` | Kairos Channels — Multi-channel communication |
| `KAIROS_GITHUB_WEBHOOKS` | GitHub Webhook subscription — Real-time PR events pushed to Agent |
| `PROACTIVE` | Proactive mode — Agent actively executes tasks, includes SleepTool scheduled wakeup |
| `COORDINATOR_MODE` | Coordinator mode — Multi-agent orchestration and scheduling |
| `BUDDY` | Buddy pair programming feature |
| `FORK_SUBAGENT` | Fork sub-agent — Spawn independent sub-agent from current session |

### Remote / Distributed

| Flag | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `BRIDGE_MODE` | Remote control bridge — Allows external clients to remotely control Claude Code |
| `DAEMON` | Daemon — Background persistent service, supports worker and supervisor |
| `BG_SESSIONS` | Background sessions — Background process management like `ps`/`logs`/`attach`/`kill`/`--bg` |
| `SSH_REMOTE` | SSH remote — `claude ssh <host>` to connect to remote host |
| `DIRECT_CONNECT` | Direct connect mode — `cc://` URL protocol, `server` command, `open` command |
| `CCR_REMOTE_SETUP` | Web-based remote setup — Configure Claude Code via browser |
| `CCR_MIRROR` | Claude Code Runtime mirror — Session state sync/replication |

### Communication

| Flag | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `UDS_INBOX` | Unix Domain Socket inbox — Local agent-to-agent communication (`/peers`) |

| `HARD_FAIL` | Hard fail mode — Abort on errors instead of graceful degradation |
| `TRANSCRIPT_CLASSIFIER` | Transcript classifier — `auto-mode` command, automatically analyzes and classifies conversation records |
| `UPLOAD_USER_SETTINGS` | Settings sync upload — Sync local configuration to cloud |
