Koder CLI 0.5.21: features and tutorials
Install using the platform guide, configure a model with koder setup, then run koder. Installation and background activation do not open chat automatically. Enter tasks only at the koder > prompt.
| Workflow | Entry point | Guide and limits |
|---|---|---|
| Code, writing and file delivery | koder, koder run |
Task results: check actual files and verification receipts. |
| Website planning, design and preview | Describe the website in chat | Website delivery: applicable design stages load by default; a local preview is not deployment. |
| Models, reasoning and context | Setup, koder model, koder context |
User guide, context controls: only configured models and supported settings are used. |
| Independent chats and live input | Separate terminals; steer, queue or cancel | Multiple windows: queued text does not approve actions. |
| Skills and local learning | koder skills, koder learning status |
Learning: one canonical resource per capability, with persistent off controls. |
| Apps, MCP and installed software | koder apps, koder mcp |
App use: connected tools first, then authorized browser or desktop tools. A launch request is not proof of GUI completion. |
| Disk, memory, settings and antivirus | koder care status |
Computer care: bounded inspection, reversible file plans and user confirmation; no automatic malware removal. |
| Mail and GitHub | Setup, koder mail doctor --json, koder github |
User guide: private credential input, actual account permissions and explicit write confirmation. |
| Background work and reminders | koder activate, koder notifications status |
Always-on guide: quiet hours, limits and off controls; submitted notifications are not display verification. |
| OCR, indexing and application resources | koder ocr, koder pageindex, koder llm-apps |
User guide: resource availability and successful execution are separate evidence. |
| Migration, headless work and telemetry | koder migrate, koder run --json, Setup |
User guide: exact artifact contracts; local telemetry is on by default and can be disabled. Cloud log upload is not enabled. |
| Installation and updates | koder update, koder update auto status |
Installation: official GitHub fallback, checksums and specific failure reasons. |
Use Start here for a first task. The English course has 30 lessons; the Chinese course has 1,800 lessons. Both offer hands-on and developer material. Run koder learn, or print a lesson with koder learn 3 --print --os linux --lang en. Select --track hands-on or --track developer. The complete guides link the eight current-version terminal exports.
The release notes and ACCEPTANCE-RESULTS.json distinguish source tests, archive checks and device/account verification. Windows physical testing remains beta-owned. Signed macOS locked-screen operation remains an unsigned candidate. Platform-specific archives retain applicable features while excluding other-platform binaries.
For a restored session blocked by an old unconfirmed operation, follow session recovery. /reconcile retains evidence and never replays the old action.
For opt-in repairs to Koder itself, use koder self-repair on and describe a reproducible error in a local task. Local repair covers seven feature modules, typed reproduction tests, next-start activation and rollback. It does not replace core control modules or train model weights.
Local failure reports (0.5.21)
Failed or unverified tasks provide a report ID, specific codes and execution state. Use /error copy in chat or koder logs report --json in a terminal. Reports stay local, exclude content and credentials, and honor the Setup telemetry switch. Guide · 中文教程.
