Claude Code & Codex
tratto has no AI of its own and no account of its own. It uses the command line tools you install and sign in to: Claude Code, Codex, and optionally cswap to switch between Claude accounts. It talks to them through a helper program, tratto-ai, that ships with the app.
Install and sign in
| Tool | Install | Sign in |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh \| bash | claude auth login |
| Codex | npm install -g @openai/codex | codex login |
| cswap (optional) | uv tool install claude-swap | cswap add |
Then turn each tool on in Settings › Integration › AI tools, where you can also choose its model and effort. tratto checks each tool's version, whether you are signed in and which models it offers.
What tratto uses them for
- Commit messages and explanations in the commit box: see Explain changes & commit messages.
- Pull request descriptions, written from the commits of the branch: see Pull requests.
- The copilot on Home: see Copilot.
- Talking to an agent that is already running, from the Agents module: see Agents.
- Your usage, in the status bar: see Usage & cost.
What it never does
The AI never writes to your repository on its own. A proposed message waits for your yes before it replaces what you typed, and the copilot can read the project but not change its files.
