krave-cli

library2.1.1jsnpmunverified

A terminal-native AI coding assistant CLI that connects to proprietary AI models (Krave 4.1 and Krave 4.2) for real-time code generation, debugging, file management, and system automation. Currently at version 2.1.1, released on npm with a focus on CLI-based development. It operates directly in the shell, providing real system access through tools like bash, writefile, spawn, webSearch, and webFetch. Key differentiators: dual-model architecture, autonomous subagents, persistent session management with auto-save/resume, and zero runtime dependencies. Requires Node.js >=18.0.0 and a terminal with Unicode/ANSI color support.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import krave from 'krave-cli'

✗ var krave = require('krave-cli')

ESM-only since v2. CommonJS require throws ERR_REQUIRE_ESM.

krave

✓ krave()

✗ new krave()

Function call, not constructor. No named exports.

type KraveOptions

✓ import type { KraveOptions } from 'krave-cli'

✗ import { KraveOptions } from 'krave-cli'

KraveOptions is a TypeScript type, not a value. Use import type.

Demonstrates ESM import of Krave CLI, configuration with API key, model selection, session path, and tool enabling.

#!/usr/bin/env node import krave from 'krave-cli'; const options = { apiKey: process.env.KRAVE_API_KEY ?? '', model: 'krave-4.2', sessionPath: './my-session.json', tools: ['bash', 'writefile', 'spawn'] }; krave(options).then(() => { console.log('Session ended.'); }).catch(err => { console.error('Krave error:', err.message); process.exit(1); });

Debug

Known issues

breakingESM-only package — require() will throw ERR_REQUIRE_ESM

fix

Use import statement instead of require(). If using CommonJS, use dynamic import: import('krave-cli').then(m => m.default(...)).

affects: >=2.0.0

breakingNode.js >=18 required — older versions will fail to start

fix

Update Node.js to version 18 or later.

affects: >=2.0.0

deprecatedkrave-4.0 model is deprecated and may be removed in a future version

fix

Switch to krave-4.1 or krave-4.2.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaAPI key must be set via environment variable KRAVE_API_KEY or passed in options; otherwise CLI will exit with an authentication error.

fix

Set KRAVE_API_KEY environment variable before running krave.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ERR_REQUIRE_ESM: require() of ES Module not supported

Using CommonJS require() to import krave-cli, which is ESM-only since v2.

fix

Replace require('krave-cli') with dynamic import: const { default: krave } = await import('krave-cli');

Error: KRAVE_API_KEY is not set

Missing API key environment variable.

fix

Set KRAVE_API_KEY in your shell: export KRAVE_API_KEY='your-api-key'

Error: Node version must be >=18.0.0

Running krave-cli on an older Node.js version.

fix

Upgrade Node.js to version 18 or later using nvm or your package manager.
