Welcome to ScryCLI

ScryCLI is an AI-powered command-line interface that brings intelligent code analysis and manipulation directly to your terminal. Built with React and Ink, it provides a modern, interactive experience for developers who want to leverage AI for code operations without leaving their workflow.

​
What is ScryCLI?

ScryCLI is designed as “Cursor for Terminal” - a natural language interface for your codebase. Instead of manually editing files, you can describe what you want in plain English, and the AI engine will generate the appropriate file operations.

Natural language commands

Ask questions or give instructions in plain English. ScryCLI understands your intent and translates it into file operations.

Beautiful terminal UI

Built with React and Ink for a modern CLI experience with interactive prompts, spinners, and real-time feedback.

Multiple AI providers

Choose from OpenAI, Mistral, Qwen, ArceeAI, StepFun, and Zai models to power your code operations.

File operations

Create, read, update, and delete files using natural language commands powered by AI.

​
