Geoff Code is a general-purpose terminal agent. You describe a goal in natural language; it reads the relevant code, plans, edits, runs commands, and verifies the result — pausing for your approval on anything that touches your files or shell. Below are the patterns it handles best.

​
Implement a new feature

Geoff Code follows a Read → Edit → Verify loop: it explores the relevant code, understands the structure, makes the change, then runs your tests or build to confirm it works.
Refine iteratively by pointing at a reference:

​
Fix a bug

Give Geoff Code a description, an error log, or a command that reproduces the problem. It locates the root cause, applies a fix, and re-runs the reproduction to confirm.

​
Understand a codebase

Drop into an unfamiliar repo and ask architectural questions. Geoff Code traces implementations, explains file purposes, and maps data flow without changing anything.
Run /init once on a new repo to generate an AGENTS.md summary that speeds up every later run.

​
Automate small coding tasks

Repetitive edits across many files are a sweet spot — exactly the kind of work that’s tedious by hand.

​
Automate general tasks

Geoff Code isn’t limited to code. Because it has shell access, it can handle research, log analysis, and batch file work.

​
Run it in scripts and CI

For unattended work, use non-interactive mode. Combine -p with -y (auto-approve) so the agent doesn’t block waiting for confirmation:
For machine-readable output in a pipeline, request streaming JSON:
-y (yolo) auto-approves every action including file writes and shell commands. Only use it in trusted, sandboxed, or disposable environments.

​
Keep going

Sessions

Resume long-running work and manage conversation context.

Skills

Teach Geoff Code your team’s conventions and workflows.

Hooks

Auto-format, validate, and gate the agent’s actions.

Agents

Delegate to specialized subagents with isolated context.
