Emp Code
saintdevzz · Agent
Brings a coding agent to your terminal through a full-screen interface built on Ink. Its tools list, search, read, write and edit files, run shell commands, use git, launch subagents, search and fetch web pages and drive a built-in browser. A plan mode blocks changes until you approve, you can click a tool chip to expand its output, and messages typed while it works are queued. It works with 18 LLM providers, several with free tiers, through API keys you add, and its setup wizard asks for NVIDIA NIM and OpenCode Zen keys.

Why it's useful
You get a terminal coding agent that asks before touching paths outside the workspace and can hold back changes in plan mode.
What you could do with it
- Ask it to create a hello.py and run it, then read the output in the terminal.
- Switch to plan mode so it only reads files until you approve its plan, then toggle back to build mode.
- Run several subagents in the background in parallel and wait for their results before it carries on.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured
- Command execution is bounded
- inventory
- node child_process (lib/bg.js:3)
- node child_process (lib/bg.js:44)
- synchronous shell execution (lib/bg.js:44)
- node child_process (lib/diagnostics.js:5)
- An inventory of where the code starts another program, not a verdict on this row: whether each one runs a fixed program or whatever it is handed takes a reading by hand.
- Licence and provenance
- finding
- no LICENCE file at the root (.)
Published because it was found. A finding is information about where the limits are, not a verdict that the software is unsafe.
What this does not cover
- Everything. Treat it as you would software from anywhere else.

In its maker's words
EMP CLI - coding agent with full-screen TUI (ink, clickable tool output, mouse, plan mode, markdown, vision) and 18 providers. Runs great on any light PC / weak CPU / old motherboard. Sessions, context, effort, web search, background tasks, revert.

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 0.5.26, the file with digest sha512-DAlLeg4g6b0kJg1gmBNmooJxjY4X7JK7Dyn6UjXlnUKNLxwY9P/Vs8kX57exuIgowUsUNBC8RKmoN7c1vrI8Wg==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.
Adding it
Run it with:
npx -y emp-code@0.5.26Pinned to 0.5.26, which is the version the findings above were found in. Drop the version to take whatever is newest, and the report on this page stops describing what you installed.

No build provenance published. The repository above is the one the publisher declared, and nothing links it to the package you would install. That is not a mark against this listing, since most packages are published this way, but it is a check nobody can run.
The badge, if this is your listing
It renders the current rung (static scanned) and links back here, where what that does and does not establish is one click away. It updates itself as the evidence deepens.
