Overview

Zencoder CLI is the native agent that powers Zencoder’s AI coding capabilities. It runs behind the scenes in both IDE plugins and Zenflow, handling code generation, refactoring, testing, and multi-repo search.

Installation

Via Zenflow

Zenflow manages the CLI installation and updates. No manual setup required.

Features

Search across all connected repositories simultaneously. The agent uses indexed repository data to find relevant code, definitions, and patterns across your entire codebase.

Zen Rules

Apply consistent coding standards by placing rule files in .zencoder/rules/. The agent picks up these rules automatically and applies them to all code generation and review tasks.

Skills

Reusable prompt templates for common workflows (code review, refactoring, testing). Skills are available in the chat panel and can be customized per project.

Model Selection

The Zencoder CLI supports all models available on your plan. Select the model in the chat panel dropdown before starting a conversation. See Models for the full list and cost multipliers.

Pricing

Included with all Zencoder subscription plans. Usage is metered in Premium LLM calls. See Plans for details.
