Uses `npx` (confidence: low): ```json "mcpServers": { "koda": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y","koda"] } } ``` ## Documentation & README Koda # Koda **Verification and memory for coding-agent workflows.** Install once, verify the changes that matter, remember what keeps breaking. ![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/koda-verify) ![npm downloads](https://img.shields.io/npm/dt/koda-verify) ![Open VSX downloads](https://img.shields.io/open-vsx/dt/koda-dev/koda) ![license](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-green) > **1,000+ downloads on Open VSX** — Koda is already watching commits in editors around the world. --- | | | |---|---| | **npm** | `npm install -g koda-verify` ([npmjs.com](https://www.npmjs.com/package/koda-verify)) | | **IDE** | [Open VSX](https://open-vsx.org/extension/koda-dev/koda) — works in VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium | | **MCP** | [Registry](https://mcp.modelcontextprotocol.io/servers/io.github.aabxtract/koda) | | **Landing** | [aabxtract.github.io/koda](https://aabxtract.github.io/koda/) | ## Why Koda exists Coding agents write features in minutes — but who verifies every commit? Full test suites are too slow to run per commit, so most verification happens late (or never). Koda closes that gap: **on every commit it verifies only what changed**, in seconds-to-minutes, and remembers what keeps breaking so your agent stops reintroducing old bugs. Koda never writes code. It orchestrates verification, remembers patterns, and reports — to both the human and the agent. ## The three surfaces | Surface | Responsibility | Activation | |---|---|---| | **Core + CLI** | Verification, reports, memory, git hooks, CI generation | `koda init`, `koda run` | | **MCP server** | Agents call `koda_verify` / `koda_report` / `koda_memory` / `koda_setup_cicd` | MCP client configuration | | **IDE extension** | Ambient status bar, report viewer, one-click enable, Git watching | User clicks Enable | ## How it works — the pipeline ``` git commit │ ▼ pre-commit ── secret guard (blocks committed API keys / private keys) │ ▼ post-commit ── koda run (background, never blocks you) │ ▼ 1. Read diff ──────────── classify files: api / page / component / lib / config / test 2. Impact analysis ────── agent-supplied (MCP) → Groq fallback → deterministic heuristics 3. Kane browser flows ─── headless, scoped to changed UI only (page/component changes) 4. Endpoint checks ────── GET / HEAD / OPTIONS only; regressions flagged (200 → 500) 5. Integration tests ──── Jest / Vitest / Mocha / node:test, matched to changed files 6. Report ─────────────── JSON (agent-readable) + Markdown (human-readable) 7. Memory ─────────────── recurring patterns, resolution history, time-to-fix ``` Most commits never launch a browser: API/config/test-only changes verify with endpoints + tests in **seconds**. Browser flows fire only when UI files change. --- ## Quick start ```bash npm install -g koda-verify cd your-project koda init # creates .koda/, installs git hooks, detects your app's port koda doctor # verifies: git, config, Kane CLI, target URL, directories ``` Then just keep committing — verification runs in the background on every commit. ### One-time browser setup (optional, per user) Browser flows are powered by the [Kane CLI](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@testmuai/kane). The **IDE extension onboards it for you**: click *Enable* and Koda offers to install Kane and connect your account. Or do it manually: ```bash npm install -g @testmuai/kane-cli kane-cli login --oauth # opens your browser — use (or create) YOUR OWN Kane account ``` ### About Kane accounts — yours, not ours Koda ships **zero credentials**. Every Koda user authenticates their **own** Kane account: - The extension's OAuth flow opens the Kane login in *your* browser; new users register there - Your session lives locally in `~/.testmuai/` on your machine — never synced, never proxied - Browser-flow credits come from *your* Kane account, not the developer's - In CI, each repo configures its own `KANE_USERNAME` / `KODA_ACCESS_KEY`-style secrets **No Kane? No problem.** Koda runs in degraded mode: endpoint checks, integration tests, memory, and reports all work; browser flows are honestly marked `SKIPPED` — never faked. --- ## Target URLs — localhost, LAN, or hosted Koda verifies whatever your app points at. The default is auto-detected at `koda init` (probes common dev ports: 3000, 5173, 8080, 8000, 4200, 5000…). Override it three ways: ```bash koda target https://myapp.vercel.app # permanent — hosted URL, https auto-detected koda target 192.168.1.5:8080 # LAN IP, http auto-detected koda run --target https://preview-123.example.com # one-off run KODA_TARGET=https://staging.example.com # per-session / CI via env ``` Precedence: `--target` flag → `KODA_TARGET` env → `.koda/config.json` → auto-detected default. ## CLI reference | Command | What it does | |---|---| | `koda init [--force]` | Create `.koda/`, install non-destructive git hooks, detect target | | `koda run [--project ] [--commit ] [--target ] [--max-flows ]` | Verify a commit now | | `koda report` | Show the latest report | | `koda memory` | Dump project memory (patterns, history, fixes) | | `koda target ` | Validate, save, and health-check a new target URL | | `koda cicd [--force]` | Generate a validated GitHub Actions workflow (refuses overwrite) | | `koda doctor [--kane]` | Environment check; `--kane` empirically probes the Kane schema | | `koda mcp` | Start the MCP server (stdio) | ## Agent integration (MCP) ```bash claude mcp add koda -- npx koda-verify mcp ``` Works with any MCP client: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Zed. In a development checkout: `claude mcp add koda node /absolute/path/to/koda/mcp/server.js`. ### MCP tools | Tool | Purpose | |---|---| | `koda_verify` | Run focused verification. The agent **supplies its own impact analysis** (`flows`, `endpoints`, `target`, `commit`, `max_flows`) — it already read your code, so no LLM cost and no guessing. Groq is only a fallback for non-MCP runs | | `koda_report` | Latest full JSON report — verdicts, coverage, evidence paths | | `koda_memory` | Project memory — recurring failures, fix confidence, time-to-fix | | `koda_setup_cicd` | Generate a validated GitHub Actions workflow | ### The agent loop ``` agent edits code → commits → hook fires koda run → report written → agent calls koda_verify (its own flows) / koda_report via MCP → reads the verdict → fixes what failed → commits again → memory marks the failure RESOLVED (with time-to-fix recorded) ``` Reports record `analysis_source: 'agent'` when the agent supplied flows — verifiable proof the loop is agent-driven. --- ## Reports Every run writes a timestamped pair to `.koda/reports/`: ``` .koda/reports/2026-08-30T14-35-28-909Z-9416b29.json ← agent-readable .koda/reports/2026-08-30T14-35-28-909Z-9416b29.md ← human-readable ``` The JSON includes: commit metadata, `analysis_source` (`agent` / `llm-fallback` / `fallback`), risk level, per-check results with evidence file paths, memory context (similar failures, patterns, fix confidence), and `action_required` with priority and suggested focus. Markdown renders PASS / FAIL / SKIPPED distinctly with coverage status. Raw Kane session events are preserved per-flow under `.koda/evidence/`. ## Memory — remembers what keeps breaking - Every failed check gets a **stable key**; failures that recur 2+ times become **patterns** - When a fix lands and the check passes, the failure is marked **resolved** with `time_to_fix_ms` - Coverage-gap findings ("no tests cover `app/page.js`") resolve automatically once a passing test covers those files - Skipped checks (app offline) never pollute memory - Writes are atomic; corrupt memory files are quarantined, not deleted ## Safety guarantees - **Non-destructive hooks** — existing pre-commit/post-commit/pre-push hooks are backed up before appending; Husky respected; idempotent via marker - **Read-only HTTP by default** — only GET / HEAD / OPTIONS; mutating methods require explicit opt-in (`allow_mutating_methods: true`) plus agent-declared endpoints - **Honest results** — if the app is down, checks are `SKIPPED`, never reported as failures; skipped checks never enter memory - **No secrets shipped** — the package contains zero credentials; the pre-commit guard blocks accidentally committed keys ## CI/CD ```bash koda cicd ``` Generates `.github/workflows/koda.yml` from a validated template: Node setup, `npm ci`, build-if-present, Kane CLI install + auth via GitHub secrets (`KANE_USERNAME`, `KANE_ACCESS_KEY`), app start, wait-on target, `koda run --commit ${{ github.sha }}`. Template-first — no LLM-generated YAML. Refuses to overwrite without `--force`. --- ## Configuration reference (`.koda/config.json`) ```json { "kane": { "target": "http://localhost:3000", "headless": true, "max_steps": 30, "timeout_ms": 300000 }, "tests": { "browser_flows": true, "endpoint_tests": true, "integration_tests": true, "allow_mutating_methods": false, "expected_statuses": { "GET /api/health": [200] } }, "notify": { "telegram": false, "discord": false } } ``` ## Environment variables Optional — Koda works without any of these. Loaded from the project `.env`, falling back to `~/.koda/.env` (configure once, use everywhere): ```bash GROQ_API_KEY= # Groq fallback impact analysis (agent runs skip this entirely) KODA_TARGET= # override target URL (flag > env > config) KODA_TEST_TOKEN= # bearer token for authenticated endpoint checks KODA_PROJECT= # default project path for CLI/MCP TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN= # notifications TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID= DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL= ``` ## Development ```bash npm install npm run check # syntax-check all sources npm test # node:test suite npm link # local koda binary for development ``` See [koda-v3-build-guide.md](https://github.com/aabxtract/koda/blob/HEAD/koda-v3-build-guide.md) for the full implementation contract. ## License MIT
