Commands for your Codebase
Bob's CLI (@bobsworkshop/cli) is the only AI coding tool built for developers who refuse to trade sovereignty for convenience. Installed globally via npm in seconds, Bob lives where your code lives in your terminal with full awareness of your project files, architecture, and dependencies. Unlike browser-based AI assistants that operate in isolation from your workflow, Bob automatically discovers relevant files through intelligent two-step retrieval, writes and edits code with your explicit approval, and persists every conversation to a searchable history tied to the specific project you were working in.
Bob's CLI operates on a dual-tier architecture that serves every developer from solo founders to enterprise engineering teams. Tier 1 is completely free your AI runs on your own hardware via Ollama, your source code never leaves your machine, and there is no per-token cost. Tier 3 connects to the Bob's Workshop platform for Anthropic's Claude via AWS Bedrock as the default model, and Google's Gemini as a fallback, full BYOK support for OpenAI, Grok, and custom providers, behavioral DNA profiling, autonomous code repair via MiniBob, deep dive sandboxes, conversation forking, and the UserBob digital twin simulation engine.
VaultBob™, is the only encrypted cloud backup system built specifically for AI-augmented development workflows. Built on AWS infrastructure, VaultBob encrypts your data on your machine before it ever leaves backing up your project context, your source code, individual files with surgical precision, or your entire engineering history across all projects in a single command. SovereignLink™ transforms any machine into a personal AI cloud, allowing developers to send commands including backups, code analysis, project indexing, and chat from any device in the world to their home machine running Bob's CLI. One developer's gaming desktop becomes an AI server for their entire team, their phone, or their school's 30-student computer lab.
