CLI & Headless Mode
Drive Kernax directly from your terminal. Launch tasks, run automated code reviews, and integrate agentic pipelines into CI/CD.
CLI Installation & Auth
The Kernax CLI brings the full power of our AST context engine, multi-model cascade router, and autonomous agent loops directly to your terminal.
Install the standalone binary via curl or PowerShell:
terminal
# macOS & Linux
curl -fsSL https://kernax.com/install.sh | bash
# Windows (PowerShell Administrator)
irm https://kernax.com/install.ps1 | iex
# Authenticate with your closed beta credentials
kernax auth loginHeadless Agent Execution
Run one-off refactoring tasks or script complex repository migrations non-interactively using the -p (prompt) flag:
terminal
# Run autonomous security audit and patch vulnerabilities
kernax -p "Scan @src/routes/ for unescaped SQL queries and refactor to parameterized queries"
# Generate TypeScript types from PostgreSQL database schema
kernax -p "Inspect @schema.sql and generate matching Zod schemas in src/types/schema.ts"Model Overrides & Reasoning Flags
Pin a specific model or enable high-effort reasoning traces on command line:
terminal
# Use DeepSeek R1 with deep reasoning effort
kernax -p --model "deepseek-r1" --reasoning-effort high "Solve concurrent race condition in queue worker"
# Output pure unified diff without modifying files on disk
kernax -p --dry-run "Refactor AuthController to use dependency injection"CI/CD GitHub Actions & Automation
