Run Codebuff in Agentastic
Codebuff's terminal coding agent, launched with a task prompt and support for continued sessions.
What Agentastic adds
Give every task its own worktree, branch, or container.
Keep Codebuff's real CLI and your existing configuration.
Inspect the diff, run code review, test, and open a pull request.
Launch Codebuff
- Install the official CLI and sign in with your existing provider account.
- Open a repository in Agentastic. The connection is discovered from your PATH.
- Open Agent Home, choose Codebuff, describe the task, and select worktree, local, container, cloud, or remote mode.
Every run gets its own git worktree, so three tasks can share a repository without sharing a branch or a build directory.
What Codebuff supports
- Launch from a task description: supported
Type the task in Agent Home and Agentastic hands it to codebuff at launch, so the run starts from your prompt instead of an empty session.
- Unattended runs: not supported
Codebuff confirms its actions as it goes, so plan on watching the run rather than scheduling it.
- Plan before editing: not supported
Agentastic keeps plan mode out of the picker for Codebuff rather than emulating it, so runs begin with edits.
- Resume a session: supported
Reopen the last Codebuff session for a worktree and keep its history — useful when reviewing the diff turns up one more change.
- Structured chat: not supported
Codebuff runs in its own terminal UI inside Agentastic; it does not expose a protocol Agentastic can render as a structured chat.
- Code review: not supported
Codebuff writes the change; pair it with a review-capable agent for the pass before merge.
Agentastic reads these from Codebuff's own CLI rather than emulating them, and modes it does not support stay out of the picker. The provider reference lists the exact flags for each launch, and how to compare coding agents covers what changes when you switch harnesses.
Codebuff questions
Is there a GUI for Codebuff?
Yes. Agentastic runs the real Codebuff CLI (codebuff) in a native Mac workspace with a git worktree, terminal, diff view, and code review for each task.
How do I run multiple Codebuff sessions in parallel?
Start each task from Agent Home in worktree mode. Agentastic gives every run its own git worktree and terminal, so several Codebuff sessions can work in one repository without editing the same files.
How do I install Codebuff?
Run npm install -g codebuff, then sign in the way Codebuff's documentation describes. Agentastic finds the codebuff command on your PATH when you open a repository.
Does Agentastic charge for Codebuff?
No. Agentastic is free and does not proxy model calls. It launches Codebuff with the credentials and plan you already use, so any usage is billed by your provider, not by Agentastic.
