Creai Code: Creai in your terminal

Open a folder, type creai, and say what to build. Creai Code links the folder to a Creation, runs the same agent as the app, and mirrors every file it writes into your folder, so you can work in your own editor and keep it in git.

Install in one line

One curl line on any Mac or Linux with Node 18 or newer, or install from npm with npm, Yarn, pnpm or Bun.

  • ✓curl -fsSL https://app.creai.dev/install | sh
  • ✓npm i -g @creaidev/code
  • ✓The command is creai

Sign in through your browser

The first run opens your browser to sign in with your usual Creai account. Every command goes through the same workspace permissions as the app.

Your folder stays in sync

Everything Creai builds lands in your folder after each turn. An app’s source can be edited in your own editor and goes back up before your next message.

  • ✓If you and Creai change the same file, yours stays put and Creai’s copy arrives beside it as .creai-new
  • ✓Link file .creai/creation.json is safe to commit

Commands developers already know

/shine (or /deploy) publishes, /restore (or /revert) goes back to a version, /kindle (or /fork) starts your own from a public Creation, and /pull and /push sync files.

  • ✓/build, /plan and /chat set how Creai answers; /fast and /best pick the model
  • ✓/chats lists past chats; /new starts a fresh one

One-off turns and scripts

creai "make the hero photo bigger" opens a session with that message. creai -p "list the pages" runs one turn, prints the reply and exits, so it fits in scripts.

Work keeps going if you leave

Press Ctrl+C while Creai is working and the work carries on; /pull brings it down later.

Questions

What do I need to run Creai Code?

Node.js 18 or newer on macOS or Linux, and a Creai account. The first run signs you in through your browser.

Can I edit the files myself?

An app’s source, yes: edit it in any editor and it goes back up before your next message. A site is made from its description, so for a site you tell Creai what to change.

Is Creai Code open source?

No. Creai Code is proprietary software from Activate LLC, free to install and used under the Creai Terms of Service.
