Five steps from scan to roadmap

The inkode CLI runs locally against your repo. No source code leaves your machine — only file paths, git metadata, and code metrics are uploaded.

1

Install the CLI

One command on macOS or Linux. No accounts, no sign-ups, no API keys for scanning. Prefer to inspect first? Download the binary manually ↗

# macOS and Linux — one line $ curl -fsSL https://inkode.co/install.sh | sh Downloading ik v1.2.0 (darwin/arm64)... Extracting... ik v1.2.0 installed to /usr/local/bin/ik $ ik version ik v1.2.0 (commit a3f8c21, built 2026-04-01T10:00:00Z)
2

Initialize your project

The wizard auto-detects languages, git history, and tech stack. It generates a .ik.yaml config in under 30 seconds.

$ cd my-startup-app && ik init inkode setup Detected: Go, TypeScript · 842 commits · 3 contributors Project name: my-startup-app Email: founder@startup.io Company: Startup Inc Data uploaded: file paths, git metadata, code metrics (not source code) Upload consent: Yes Wrote .ik.yaml Added .ik/ to .gitignore

Run the scan

20 checks run concurrently across 5 risk categories. The CLI produces a health score (0-100, grade A-F), renders a Brief locally, and uploads the analysis.

Identify risks at a glance

Your Brief gives you a high-level snapshot of your codebase health. It highlights key risks, category scores, and the most problematic files — enough to understand where you stand and start conversations with your CTO, investors, or team, without getting lost in low-level details.
