Aitools

aitools

Batch-process your code with AI CLI editors.

aitools is a PowerShell module that wraps AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Aider, Gemini CLI, and GitHub Copilot CLI. It automates code refactoring, migrations, and documentation tasks by making these AI tools scriptable through PowerShell.

What is aitools?

aitools wraps *agentic CLI tools* - AI assistants that actually read, understand, and rewrite your code - and makes them scriptable through PowerShell. Every run starts fresh with no conversation drift, just consistent output.

In 30 seconds:

aitools handles the AI coordination, file I/O, and change tracking while giving you PowerShell's predictability.

Why I built this

Each AI CLI has different flags, installation steps, and quirks. Processing 100 files means clicking through each one in an IDE or writing shell scripts that break when the CLI changes. I built a wrapper and figured I'd share it.

What it does:

- One consistent interface across multiple AI CLIs
- Simple batch operations: pipe files in, get results out
- Handles installation, updates, and configuration
- Tracks changes for review before committing

Each file is processed in a fresh session, which means consistent output without conversation drift. Parallel processing, automatic retry logic, and the ability to skip already-modified files make it practical for large-scale operations.
