Aethr – local-first AI coding workflows with steering
Aethr is a command-line interface designed for managing AI coding workflows through YAML configuration. It allows users to plan, implement, review, and iterate on coding tasks in a structured manner. The tool is compatible with multiple operating systems and requires Python and git for operation.
- ▪Aethr enables programmable workflows for AI coding tasks using YAML files.
- ▪It supports various commands for initializing and running workflows, including review and implementation steps.
- ▪The tool is stateless and only creates a single project file, .aethr.yaml, for configuration.

Aethr A tiny CLI for running explicit AI coding workflows from YAML. Core Idea Coding with LLMs is not one-shot generation. Real development is: plan -> implement -> review -> iterate Aethr makes those workflows programmable. A run is just: task + workflow + explicit context + model routing Aethr is stateless. The only project file it creates is .aethr.yaml. Requirements Python 3.12+ (3.12 and 3.13 are tested; older versions are not supported) git available in your shell Platform: works on macOS, Linux, and Windows (including WSL) when the Python and git requirements are met Optional: opencode CLI for implementation steps that edit files Install pip install aethr For local development: pip install -e ".[dev]" Quick Start For a review-only workflow: aethr init review-existing-diff aethr…
