Saptiva Code

AI-powered command-line workflow tool for developers

Installation • Quick Start • Features • Documentation • Contributing

Saptiva Code is a powerful command-line AI workflow tool adapted from Gemini CLI (details), It enhances your development workflow with advanced code understanding, automated tasks, and intelligent assistance.

Key Features

• Code Understanding & Editing - Query and edit large codebases beyond traditional context window limits
• Workflow Automation - Automate operational tasks like handling pull requests and complex rebases
• Enhanced Parser - Adapted parser specifically optimized for Saptiva Code models

Installation

Prerequisites

Ensure you have Node.js version 20 or higher installed.

curl -qL https://www.npmjs.com/install.sh | sh

Install from npm

npm install -g saptiva-code
saptiva --version

Install from source

Quick Start

# Start Saptiva Code
saptiva

# Example commands
> Explain this codebase structure
> Help me refactor this function
> Generate unit tests for this module

Session Management

Control your token usage with configurable session limits to optimize costs and performance.

Configure Session Token Limit

Create or edit .saptiva/settings.json in your home directory:

{
  "sessionTokenLimit": 32000
}

Session Commands

• /compress - Compress conversation history to continue within token limits
• /clear - Clear all conversation history and start fresh
• /stats - Check current token usage and limits

📝 Note: Session token limit applies to a single conversation, not cumulative API calls.

Authorization

Choose your preferred authentication method based on your needs:

1. Saptiva Auth

Use API keys for Saptiva Code:

Configuration Methods:

1. Environment Variables

   export SAPTIVA_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
   export SAPTIVA_BASE_URL="your_api_endpoint"
   export SAPTIVA_MODEL="your_model_choice"

2. Project .env File Create a .env file in your project root:

   SAPTIVA_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   SAPTIVA_BASE_URL=your_api_endpoint
   SAPTIVA_MODEL=your_model_choice
