A command-line toolkit for AI-assisted software development using a sci-fi -inspired interface.
Starship Agentic transforms the software development process into an engaging, sci-fi inspired journey. It combines:
- AI-powered development - Leverage LLMs to generate, test, and fix code automatically
- Guided workflow - Follow a structured process from project initialization to deployment
- Intuitive interface - Use familiar Star Trek terminology for development tasks
- Automated testing - Run BDD and unit tests with AI-assisted error correction
- Project management - Track progress and maintain code quality throughout development
Whether you're building a new application or maintaining existing code, Starship Agentic helps you navigate the development universe more efficiently.
pip install starshipagentic- Python 3.8 or higher
- Git
- Internet connection (for AI-assisted features)
- API keys for specific LLM services (optional)
Starship Agentic provides a suite of commands for managing your development workflow, organized into themed command groups.
starshipagentic <command-group> <command> [options]
Each command is also available as a direct alias:
<command-alias> [options]
You can also simply run:
starshipagentic
