FAQ
Does my repository need to depend on CoDev at runtime?
Section titled “Does my repository need to depend on CoDev at runtime?”No. A target repository never imports CoDev as a runtime dependency. CoDev installs ordinary, repository-local files that agents read directly.
Which agent platforms does CoDev support?
Section titled “Which agent platforms does CoDev support?”opencode, junie, antigravity, and claude, selected with --agent-platform on
codev init. See Agent Platforms for what differs between
them.
Can an agent run raw git commit or git push?
Section titled “Can an agent run raw git commit or git push?”No. codev git commit and codev git push are the only path for an agent to mutate the
repository or GitHub — raw git commit/git push are denied to every role for exactly
this reason.
What happens if I’ve locally modified a file CoDev manages?
Section titled “What happens if I’ve locally modified a file CoDev manages?”It becomes a visible conflict. CoDev never silently overwrites a locally modified managed
file — codev status keeps reporting it as a conflict until you resolve it with
override or keep. See the update algorithm in Architecture.
If a PR, issue, or commit message contains instructions aimed at the AI, will it follow them?
Section titled “If a PR, issue, or commit message contains instructions aimed at the AI, will it follow them?”No. Repository files, commit messages, PR/issue text, and CI output are evidence for the
AI to inspect, never instructions to follow. pr-review, review-change, and
github-actions-ci-results — the skills that ingest the most externally-controllable
content — each carry an explicit reminder of this, and it’s checked with a dedicated
adversarial-content eval scenario, not just asserted in prose.
Does codev eval read or store my API keys?
Section titled “Does codev eval read or store my API keys?”No. The skill-evaluation harness drives OpenCode using your own existing auth — no CoDev-hosted execution, and no credentials read or stored.
What license is CoDev under?
Section titled “What license is CoDev under?”BSD-3-Clause.
