Command Code is a terminal coding agent made by Ahmad Awais, from Multan. He built it for open models on purpose, so the people who cannot pay 200 dollars a month still get a real agent.
This is the setup, start to finish. Every command here was checked against the official docs and the live package on 22 September 2026.
# needs Node 22 or newer
npm i -g command-code@latest
Ahmad Awais. Born and raised in Multan. Thirteen electrical engineers from UET Lahore came before him in his own family, so he studied electrical engineering, finished the degree, and walked away from it to write software.
In 2020 he built a COVID tracker that ran in your terminal. It went everywhere. Sam Altman messaged him about it, and OpenAI offered him a VP job. He said no, because at the time they were a non profit and he could not see the point of the stock.
You need Node 22 or newer. Check with node -v before you start.
One global install. The command it gives you is cmd.
npm i -g command-code@latest
cmd --version
cmdc, commandcode and command-code if cmd clashes with something you already have.
This opens your browser. You can also paste an API key instead.
cmd login
~/.commandcode/auth.json.
Go into a real project folder, not an empty one. It reads your code to learn how you write.
cd your-project cmd
/ for the command menu, ! to run a bash command, and @ to point at a file.
This is the part the reel is about. List the models, then pick an open one.
cmd --list-models
cmd --model kimi-k2.5
/model slash command.
Every other agent forgets. You correct the same mistake on Monday and again on Friday. Command Code turns your accepts, rejects and edits into a profile it keeps, so it stops making that mistake.
Your taste lives in a file you can read, in your own project.

It is new. The company pivoted from Langbase to Command Code in mid 2026. It ships fast, which means it also breaks sometimes. If something is broken, /feedback inside a session reports it.
The ranking moves. In July 2026 Awais posted a screenshot of OpenRouter showing Command Code second in Top Coding Agents and first in the Trending tile. Rankings change week to week, so check the live page rather than trusting a number from a video, including mine.
He built this for the four hundred million people who are going to be writing code and will never afford two hundred dollars a month. His words, not mine.

I've been building things people pay for since I was 10. Online game servers first, then $250K+ earned in tech. Now I build with AI in public, and every free thing from my reels lands on a page like this.
