Codebuff Codebuff
Codebuff is an open-source, terminal-based AI coding agent that orchestrates specialized sub-agents to perform multi-file edits, codebase refactors, and test verification. It prioritizes deep project understanding by analyzing the entire codebase structure and dependencies to execute complex tasks in a single natural-language request.
Launched the Freebuff ad-supported tier in 2026, expanded the multi-agent framework with an SDK, and introduced browser log analysis for web development debugging.

- Integrated terminal action loop (installs packages, runs tests/linters)
- Checkpoint system to undo/redo changes
- Open-source SDK for custom agent development
