iFlow CLI
A free terminal AI agent by Xinliu AI that helps developers and general users accomplish coding, office, and system operation tasks via command line.
Tool overview
iFlow CLI is an AI agent that runs directly in the terminal, capable of understanding codebases, interpreting natural language instructions, and automatically performing file operations, script writing, environment configuration, code review, and test case generation. It includes built-in services like WebSearch and WebFetch, enabling external information retrieval to boost efficiency.
Its main advantages are free access to multiple Chinese large language models (GLM-5, MiniMax M2.5, Kimi K2.5) without the need for special network setups, and benchmark results showing superior performance compared to Claude Code and Codex when using domestic models. Advanced features such as hooks, workflows, and an SDK are supported, along with deep IDE integration and a bilingual interface.
However, there are notable drawbacks: basic command-line proficiency is required; output quality heavily depends on prompt design, and AI-generated test assertions still need human validation. The most critical risk is that the project’s official GitHub repository states it will be shut down on April 17, 2026, making it unsuitable for long-term planning.
Installation requires Node.
