Installing CodeSpeak

⚠️ CodeSpeak is in Alpha Preview: many things are rough around the edges. Please use at your own risk and report any issues to our Discord. Thank you!

Prerequisites

Install uv

CodeSpeak uses uv as its Python package manager.

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Restart your terminal (or run source ~/.bashrc / source ~/.zshrc), then verify:

uv --version

Get an Anthropic API key

CodeSpeak is BYOK (Bring Your Own Key). Get an API key at platform.claude.com/settings/keys.

You can provide the key in two ways:

  • Paste it when CodeSpeak prompts you (this creates an .env.local file in your project directory)
  • Set the environment variable: export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<your-key>

Install CodeSpeak

uv tool install codespeak-cli

Verify the installation:

codespeak --version
