# Bullet Bullet is a coding agent that routes tasks, searches repository files, and runs independent tool calls in parallel. It works from the command line on macOS, Linux, and Windows, with free access and no key required to start. - Findings24: - Website: - Pricing: Freemium - Categories: AI Code Assistant, AI Developer Tools ## What is Bullet? Bullet is a command-line coding agent designed to shorten the cycle between a developer’s request and repository changes or results. It uses a routing layer to send straightforward work to fast models and escalate harder tasks when needed, while its search and file-reading workflow focuses on relevant repository context rather than embedding the entire codebase. The agent follows a model-to-tools-to-results loop and can run independent operations simultaneously. Bullet is available through a CLI installation and is presented for macOS, Linux, and Windows; the site specifically documents Node 18+ for its macOS and Linux CLI instructions. ## What can Bullet do? ### Task routing and escalation Routes straightforward tasks to fast models and escalates more complex work when the task requires deeper reasoning. ### Targeted repository search Searches for relevant code and reads selected files instead of processing the whole repository as context. ### Parallel tool execution Runs independent search, read, and verification operations simultaneously rather than queuing them sequentially. ### Loop and duplicate-call interception Detects duplicate calls and stuck loops before they consume additional execution time. ### Command-line workflow Provides the same agent loop, router, and tools through a shell-based CLI rather than a separate graphical interface. ### Simple CLI installation The documented installation command is \`npm install -g @trybullet/cli\`, followed by the \`bullet\` command. ## Use Cases ### Fast repository navigation Developers can use targeted search and file reads to locate relevant code in an unfamiliar or large codebase without loading the entire repository. ### Routine coding tasks Straightforward development requests can be routed to faster models, helping keep smaller tasks within a tighter execution loop. ### Complex implementation work Tasks that need more reasoning can be escalated instead of being handled through the same fast path as routine requests. ### Concurrent investigation Workflows involving independent searches, reads, or verification steps can run those operations together to reduce unnecessary waiting. ### Shell-based development Developers who prefer working in a terminal can install and use the agent from the command line without relying on a GUI. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Bullet? Bullet is a coding agent that routes tasks, searches repository context, and executes tool operations to help developers work through coding requests. ### How is Bullet installed? The site documents a global npm installation: \`npm install -g @trybullet/cli\`. After installation, the agent is started with the \`bullet\` command. ### Which operating systems does Bullet support? The site lists macOS, Linux, and Windows. Its CLI section specifically labels macOS and Linux with a Node 18+ requirement. ### Does Bullet have a graphical interface? The site describes the product as “CLI. NO GUI.” The documented workflow is therefore command-line based. ### Does Bullet require a key or subscription to begin? The site says Bullet is free to use and that no key is required to start. The available source does not provide additional plan or usage-limit details. ## Quick Facts - **Category**: Developer Tool - **Product type**: Coding agent - **Primary interface**: Command-line interface - **Platforms**: macOS, Linux, Windows - **CLI prerequisite noted**: Node 18+ for the documented macOS and Linux setup - **Starting access**: Free to use; no key required to start
