Introduction

nefi /ˈnɛfi/ is an AI-powered agent that automates code management and feature integration in Next.js codebases through natural language commands, handling everything from git operations to package management and file modification. This tool streamlines the process of adding new features while maintaining high code quality standards.

Motivation

The whole idea behind this tool is to reduce the amount of manual work and time spent on common tasks like setting up the next-enterprise boilerplate for your personal needs. It is common that not every application requires e.g. storybook integration (althought we love it!). nefi allows you to just type remove storybook from my project and it will be done.

The best way to start interacting with nefi is to use it along with the next-enterprise boilerplate as it contains solid, minimalistic and robust project structure out of the box

Tutorial

Follow the instructions and paste following commands in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/blazity/next-enterprise.git && cd next-enterprise

npx nefi

and thats it!

API Keys

nefi relies heavily on the Anthropic's API.

Every time the agent is launched it will search for the key in the following places

1. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in your shell environment variables
2. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in your .env file in a directory where you've launched nefi
3. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in your .env.local file in a directory where you've launched nefi

If the key is not found, the agent will prompt you to enter it and will create a .env.local file (or append the key to the existing one) in the directory where you've launched nefi.

How to obtain the API key

Command parameters

There are some command parameters that can be passed to the nefi command:

• --verbose - enables verbose logging. Useful for debugging and troubleshooting. Please refer to the reporting an issue guide for more information.

• --usage - prints the usage of the Anthropic API in tokens
