ade code (terminal)

ADE, terminal-native. The same lanes, chats, and PRs in a fast TUI you can drive over SSH.

ade code is ADE in your terminal — the same lanes, chats, and PRs as the desktop app, rendered as a fast TUI. It attaches to the same machine, so a chat you start in the terminal shows up on the desktop and your phone, and vice versa. Start in the shell, finish anywhere.

Launch it

ade code

That attaches to your machine’s ADE runtime and opens the workspace. From there you get a lane and chat drawer, a chat pane, and a side pane for PR details, lane info, the model picker, and Linear status.

What you can do

Run agents

Start and steer chats with any provider, watch tool calls stream, and approve diffs.

Manage lanes

Create, switch, and inspect lanes without leaving the keyboard.

Ship PRs

Commit, push, and open PRs with slash commands; check CI from the side pane.

Work over SSH

Run it on a remote box and drive ADE entirely from a terminal session.

Slash commands

Most actions have a slash command. A few of the common ones:

Common slash commands

Command	Does
/new lane	Create a new lane
/model	Open the provider and model picker
/commit	Stage and commit the lane’s changes
/push	Push the lane’s branch
/pr	Open a pull request from the lane
/linear	Attach or update a Linear issue
/info	Show plan steps, token usage, and PR status

Type / in the composer to see the full list for the current session.

ade code is a client of the same runtime as the desktop app — it isn’t a separate copy of your project. Both read and write the same lanes, transcripts, and PR state.

Agent chat

How chats, providers, and tool calls work.

Remote machines

Point ADE at a repository that lives on another box.
