What is this?

RexCLI is a thin layer on top of your existing CLI agents. It doesn't replace them—it makes them work better together.

Four things it adds:

  1. Memory that survives restarts - Your project context comes back automatically after you close and reopen the terminal, and syncs across devices for the same project.
  2. Browser automation - Control Chrome via MCP without manually clicking around.
  3. Superpowers - Smart planning: auto-decompose requirements, parallel task distribution, automatic verification.
  4. Privacy Guard - Automatically redacts secrets before they leak into prompts or logs.

Who is this for?

  • You already use codex, claude, gemini, or opencode regularly
  • You want your workflows to survive terminal restarts
  • You need browser automation without switching tools
  • You want automation skills that enforce best practices

Quick Start

curl -fsSL https://github.com/rexleimo/rex-cli/releases/latest/download/aios-install.sh | bash
source ~/.zshrc
aios

The command above is the stable release install path. If you want unreleased main behavior, use the dev-friendly git clone flow from Quick Start instead.

Launch aios to open the full-screen setup TUI, choose Setup, and run Doctor before you leave. Windows PowerShell commands are listed on the Quick Start page.

FAQ

Is RexCLI a memory system for coding agents?

Yes. ContextDB persists and rehydrates project memory across CLI sessions and across agent clients in the same repository.

Does RexCLI support Hermes-like orchestration workflows?

Yes. Use team and orchestrate flows for staged planning, execution routing, and verification gates.

Can it auto-plan subagents for multi-step tasks?

Yes. RexCLI includes route-aware planning (single/subagent/team) and execution guardrails.
