A predictable, terminal-native coding agent for Next.js, Nest.js, Prisma and Node.js projects.

@ariacode/cli

A predictable, terminal-native coding agent for Next.js, Nest.js, Prisma and Node.js projects.

Aria reads your repository, generates safe diffs with preview, understands your Prisma schema, upgrades dependencies with risk analysis, and tracks every mutation in a local SQLite history — no surprises.

Requirements

• Node.js 20+
• git (for review command)
• ripgrep (for search_code tool — fast code search)

Installation

npm install -g @ariacode/cli

After installation the aria binary is available globally.

aria plan "Add rate limiting to the API routes"

# Preview a patch before applying
aria patch "Rename GeoPage to LandingPage" --dry-run

# Apply a patch with confirmation prompt
aria patch "Add error boundary to the root layout"

# Review staged git changes
