Never stops

5 retries with exponential backoff. When one provider rate-limits, chode switches to the next — silently. Your session continues as if nothing happened.

★

Live intelligence

30-second health scans across all providers. Composite scoring weights quality, reliability, speed, and recency. The leaderboard updates continuously.

♦

Checkpoint recovery

Crash your terminal? Run chode with --resume and pick up exactly where you left off. Full message history preserved.

☰

Scaffold anything

One command creates production Cloudflare Workers with secz6 glass layout, boundaries-bg animation, and self-healing AI routing built in.

⚙
