Supported Agents

roborev supports multiple AI coding agents and auto-detects which ones are installed.

Supported Agents

Agent	CLI Command	Install
Codex	codex	npm install -g @openai/codex
Claude Code	claude	npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
Gemini	gemini	npm install -g @google/gemini-cli
Copilot	copilot	npm install -g @github/copilot
Cursor	agent	See cursor.com/cli
OpenCode	opencode	npm install -g opencode-ai
Droid	droid	See factory.ai
Kilo	kilo	npm install -g @kilocode/cli
Kiro	kiro-cli	See kiro.dev
Pi	pi	npm install -g @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent

Auto-Detection

roborev auto-detects installed agents and falls back in this order:

1. Codex
2. Claude Code
3. Gemini
4. Copilot
5. Cursor
6. OpenCode
7. Droid
8. Kilo
9. Kiro
10. Pi

The first available agent is used unless you specify one explicitly.

Specifying an Agent

Per-Command

roborev review --agent claude-code <sha>
roborev run --agent codex "Explain this code"
roborev refine --agent gemini

Per-Repository

.roborev.toml

agent = "claude-code"

Global Default

~/.roborev/config.toml

default_agent = "codex"

Model Selection

You can override the default model for any agent using the --model / -m flag:

roborev review --model gpt-4.1 <sha>
roborev refine --model claude-sonnet-4-20250514

Model Format by Agent

Agent	Model Format	Example
Codex	OpenAI model name	gpt-4.1, o3-mini
Claude Code	Anthropic model name	claude-sonnet-4-20250514, claude-opus-4-20250514
Gemini	Google model name	gemini-2.5-pro, gemini-2.5-flash
Copilot	OpenAI model name	gpt-4.1
Cursor	Model name	claude-sonnet-4-20250514, gpt-4.1
OpenCode	provider/model	anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514, openai/gpt-4.1
Droid	Factory model name	(see Factory.ai docs)
Kilo	provider/model	anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514, openai/gpt-4.1
Kiro	Model name	(see Kiro docs)
Pi	Model name	claude-sonnet-4-20250514, gpt-4.1

Configuration

Set a default model globally or per-repository:

~/.roborev/config.toml

default_model = "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"

.roborev.toml

model = "gpt-4.1"  # Override for this repo

Model resolution priority: CLI flag > per-repo config > global config > agent default.

Routing Claude Code to a Proxy

The claude-code agent accepts a model spec of the form <model>@<base_url>. When <base_url> starts with http:// or https://, roborev points Claude Code at that endpoint and pins all tier aliases (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, subagent) to the given model. This lets you use local runtimes (Ollama, LM Studio) or gateways (LiteLLM, OpenRouter) that expose an Anthropic-compatible API.

# .roborev.toml: local Ollama for reviews, real Anthropic for fixes
agent = "claude-code"
review_model = "glm-5.1:cloud@http://127.0.0.1:11434"
fix_model    = "sonnet"

Or per invocation:

roborev review --model 'glm-5.1:cloud@http://127.0.0.1:11434'

A bare proxy spec (@http://... with no model) is rejected with an error. The full URL (including any path or query string) is forwarded as-is to ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, so include the path your gateway expects. For example, LiteLLM typically wants a trailing /v1, while Ollama wants no path.

Proxy Authentication

Set ROBOREV_CLAUDE_PROXY_TOKEN in your environment to forward a bearer token to the proxy as ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN. If unset, roborev sends a placeholder token, which is sufficient for gateways that do not validate the header (such as Ollama).

roborev does not forward anthropic_api_key (or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) to proxy endpoints. Doing so would leak a real Anthropic credential to arbitrary third parties.

URL Restrictions

• Proxy URLs must not embed user:pass@ credentials. Use ROBOREV_CLAUDE_PROXY_TOKEN instead.
• http:// is only accepted for loopback hosts (127.0.0.1, ::1, localhost), so plaintext tokens can’t be sent over the wire. Use https:// for remote proxies.

Environment Behavior

Caution

As of 0.52, the claude-code agent always strips the following variables from the child process environment: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL, ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL, ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL, and CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL. If you previously routed Claude Code by exporting these in your shell, switch to the <model>@<base_url> spec, or configure anthropic_api_key in ~/.roborev/config.toml for native (non-proxy) mode. roborev re-injects the configured key rather than inheriting from the operator’s shell.

Agentic Support

Different agents have different levels of support for agentic mode (file edits and commands):

Agent	Agentic Support
Codex	Full (uses --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox)
Claude Code	Full (uses --dangerously-skip-permissions)
Gemini	Full (uses --yolo and --allowed-tools)
Copilot	Limited (requires manual approval for actions)
Cursor	Full (uses --yolo flag)
OpenCode	Full (auto-approves in non-interactive mode)
Droid	Full (runs autonomously)
Kilo	Full (runs autonomously)
Kiro	Full (uses --trust-all-tools)
Pi	Full (tools execute without confirmation)

See Custom Tasks & Agentic Mode for details on review vs agentic modes.

ACP (Agent Client Protocol)

ACP lets you integrate any agent that speaks the Agent Client Protocol, even if roborev doesn’t have a built-in adapter for it. Configure an ACP agent in the [acp] section of ~/.roborev/config.toml:

[acp]
name = "codex-acp"
command = "codex-acp"

Once configured, the ACP agent can be selected with --agent <name>.

See the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) guide for setup examples, the full configuration reference, mode negotiation, and troubleshooting.
