Code

Bahulam Code is the terminal coding agent. This section covers everything you can do from the CLI — the primary chat loop, slash commands, sub-agent delegation, model routing, approvals, remote sessions, skills, and CI/CD.

Where to start

• New to Bahulam? Read Getting Started first, then come back here.
• Just want the keystrokes? Jump to Commands.
• Building an autonomous workflow? Automation & CI/CD covers headless mode, streaming JSONL, and non-interactive approvals.

Topics

• Commands — slash commands, keyboard shortcuts, everything you can type at the REPL
• Agents & Sub-Agents — how the primary agent delegates to specialists like explore, plan, verify
• Choosing a Model — model tiers, per-role overrides, the reasoning-vs-fast tradeoff
• Approvals & Safety — HITL prompts, auto-approve mode, dangerous-tool policies
• Skills — install / view / remove SKILL.md bundles
• Attachments — feed the agent images, PDFs, CSVs, notebooks
• Automation & CI/CD — headless mode, JSONL stream, non-interactive workflows
• Remote Sessions — pull spend and sessions from other machines
• MCP (user config) — connect user-scoped MCP servers via ~/.bahulam/config.json
• Getting Good Results — prompt patterns, when to use which model, common pitfalls
