Readme
Kody is a command-line tool for generating artifact files, powered by both classic and AI code generation techniques. It can be used by both technical and non-technical users to generate files across a wide range of technologies.
The code generation feature in Kody relies on OpenAI GPT, a language model that uses deep learning to generate human-like text, and ChatGPT to provide natural language processing capabilities.

Getting Started
Open the project you are willing to work on using vscode or your prefered editor.
Generate artifacts using AI
In case you want to exclusivly rely on AI to generate your artifacts. I don't need to install any additional kodies. Run the kody ai [prompt]
command and follow the prompts.
kody ai create a Laravel Controller named SampleController under API/V1. Add a comment on top saying Hello Kodyfire!
You can use the experimental Speech-to-Text option to pass your prompt using your voice.
kody ai -r
The transcription relies on Whisper and requires SoX installed and available in your $PATH. for the audio recording.
For Linux
sudo apt-get install sox libsox-fmt-all
For MacOS
brew install sox
For Windows
Generate your artifact using the classical method
Search and install a kody
Based on your project, search availables kodies and select the one that fits your need..
To search availables kodies by keyword runthe following command. if you don't specify a keyword all available kodies will be listed.
kody search [keyword]
Install your kody of choice. For example, if you want to install the react kody
kody install react
or
npm install -s react-kodyfire
Please note you can install as many kodies in the same project as you wish.
Generate your artifact
There are 2 methods you can generate your artifacts with:
- The
generate
command - The
run
command
Method 1: Generator mode kody generate
The recommended way of using kody is using the generate
command. The command will assist you creating your artifact based on the chosen concept
. For example, a react component
is considered a concept
.
In order to generate your artifacts, run the generate
command. The syntax is kody g|generate [kody] [concept]
. the assistant will prompt you to select the missing arguments. As an example, run the following command from your terminal:
kody generate react component
Method 2: Runner mode kody run
The run
command is similar to the generate
command. The run
requires a definition file which is simply a json file containing all the concept definitions you have created using the ride
command. The generate
command on the other hand creates one or more concept definition on the run and process them on one run. Every command has its use cases.
Initialize kody
In order to start using kody, you need to initialize your project.
kody init
This will add the definition files required for kody runs. Important: Please run the command only once. The command will override existing definition files. We will disable overriding in a future version.
Ride your kody
In order to update your definition, use the kody ride command to assist you populate the required fields
kody ride
Launch a kody run
Once you are satisified with your definition file, execute the run command to generate your artifacts.
kody run -s laravel-kody.json
To run all kodies defined within your project, run the following command:
kody batch
Create your own kody
In most cases you might need a custom kody to suit your needs
Scaffold a new kody
Create a basic kody using the scaffold command. Follow the prompts to setup your kody
kody scaffold
This will create a folder containing the basic structure for a kody. You can start using right away within your project.
Setup your kody
Install npm dependencies
npm i
Build your kody
npm run build
Add your concepts and related templates
//TODO This will build your kody and export the basic templates files.
Add your kody as an NPM dependency to a test project
In order to be able to use it within your test project run the following command
npm i -s ./yourkody-kodyfire
Publish your kody
Please remember that Kody is still in exploration phase and things will change frequently. Contribution is always highly requested.
Prepare your kody
Add the required kodyfire metadata to your package.json
{
// A command for handling this part will be added in a future version
"kodyfire": {
"id": "your-id", // must be unique.
"type": "kodyfire", // Example of valid technology names: laravel, express, react, angular, flutter, html, css. Default: kodyfire
"version": "0.0.1"
}
}
