Providers

RepoVista delegates analysis to local provider CLIs. The built-in providers are:

• codex
• claude
• gemini
• opencode
• aider

List and test providers

repovista providers list
repovista providers list --json
repovista providers test codex

Codex CLI

Codex is the default provider. RepoVista invokes it with read-only audit intent by default:

• --cd <project-root>
• --config approval_policy="never"
• --sandbox read-only
• --skip-git-repo-check
• --ephemeral
• --output-last-message <report.md>
• --output-schema <schema.json> where structured output is supported
• --config model_reasoning_effort="<effort>" when reasoning is configured
• --config service_tier="fast" when fast mode is enabled

Example:

repovista audit --provider codex --model gpt-5.5 --reasoning xhigh

Claude Code CLI

Claude Code uses print mode and writes final output to the phase report:

• --print
• --output-format text
• --input-format text
• --no-session-persistence
• --permission-mode plan for read-only intent
• --permission-mode default for workspace-write intent
• --add-dir <project-root>
• --model <model> when configured
• --effort <effort> when configured

Example:

repovista audit --provider claude --model sonnet --reasoning high

Capabilities

Provider adapters expose capabilities such as read-only sandbox support, workspace-write support, provider-native structured output, JSON events, and prompt-file support.

Inspect them with:
