Use and deploy SCIF Code.

Operator guidance for working with the coding agent, configuring local workflows, and deploying the complete customer-hosted stack.

Work with SCIF Code.

Start the agent from a repository, describe the outcome you want, and stay in control as it inspects, proposes, edits, and validates.

1. Authenticate and launch

scifcode login --control-plane https://scifcode.customer.example
cd /path/to/your/repository
scifcode

Authentication creates a revocable session with the customer-hosted control plane. SCIF Code uses the current directory as its working boundary and keeps the model endpoint and infrastructure credentials off the workstation.

2. Ask for an outcome

Explain how authentication works in this repository.

Add validation to the account form and run the relevant tests.

Review the current diff for security and correctness.

Include the intended result, important constraints, and how the change should be verified. SCIF Code inspects the repository before editing and asks for approval before file changes or shell commands.

3. Add focused context

  • Type @ to search for and attach a file to your message.
  • Start a message with ! to run a shell command and add its output to the session, subject to approval.
  • Type / to open built-in and custom commands.
  • Press Tab to switch between the Build and Plan agents.

4. Manage the session

/new        Start a clean session
/sessions   Resume an earlier session
/compact    Summarize a long session
/undo       Revert the last message and its file changes
/redo       Restore the last undone message and changes

/undo and /redo use Git to manage changes and therefore require the project to be a Git repository.
