Follow these steps to start having AI-powered conversations about your codebase

1

Install Adist

Install the CLI tool globally using npm:
npm install -g adist
Verify the installation by running adist --version.
2

Configure your LLM provider

Choose your preferred AI provider and set up authentication:
adist llm-config
  • Anthropic Claude - Cloud-based, requires API key
  • OpenAI GPT - Cloud-based, requires API key
  • Ollama - Run locally, no API key needed
3

Initialize your project

Navigate to your project directory and run:
adist init my-project
This will index all supported files in your codebase and prepare them for semantic search.
4

Start asking questions

Now you can query your codebase, search for specific patterns, or start an interactive chat:
# Query your project
adist query "How does the authentication system work?"

# Search for specific code
adist get "database connection"

# Start a chat session
adist chat
