Use Cases
Real-world scenarios where Codehere helps you work faster and smarter.
For Individual Developers
Multi-File Refactoring with Dependency Awareness
Refactor across multiple files safely. Codehere understands dependencies, creates step-by-step plans, and makes changes in the right order.
Try This:
What Makes It Special:
- Analyzes dependencies between files automatically
- Creates step-by-step plan with proper execution order
- Validates each change before proceeding
- Rolls back automatically if any step fails
Time Saved: 2-3 days → 2-4 hours
Operation History (v0.5)
Review and export what happened during runs (ask/plan/fix/orchestrate). Use it to keep context and track changes over time.
Try This:
What Makes It Special:
- Structured operation history (local)
- Reviewable summaries and diffs
- Exports via JSON for tooling
- No overclaims: this is history, not perfect long-term memory
Time Saved: No more explaining context repeatedly
Find Code by Intent
Use semantic search and repo-aware Q&A to quickly locate the right files and entry points.
Try This:
What Makes It Special:
- Works best after indexing
- Returns relevant files and snippets
- Helps narrow to the right module fast
- Pairs well with `explain` for understanding
Time Saved: Minutes instead of hours searching
Debug Complex Problems Step-by-Step
Systematic investigation and suggested next steps using repo context.
Try This:
What Makes It Special:
- Traces likely code paths
- Surfaces candidate files/modules
- Suggests hypotheses and checks
- Keeps changes behind review gates
Time Saved: Hours of debugging → 15-30 minutes
Context-Aware Changes with Git Integration
Understands your git history and current branch. Makes changes that respect your workflow and commit patterns.
Try This:
What Makes It Special:
- Reads git context to understand current state
- Respects branch naming conventions
- Suggests appropriate commit messages
- Integrates with your existing workflow
Time Saved: No context switching between tools
Review Changes Before Applying
See exactly what will change before any code is modified. Review the changes, then approve or reject. Stay in control.
Try This:
What Makes It Special:
- Structured summaries showing files, checks, and risk
- Review changes before they're applied
- Automatic validation (compilation, tests, syntax)
- Approval workflow for safe automation
Time Saved: Catch issues before they break production
Teams (Roadmap)
Roadmap: Pattern Sharing
Planned: share approved patterns across projects (with explicit controls).
Try This:
What Makes It Special:
- Explicit opt-in and governance
- No silent cross-project sharing
- Designed for teams with review gates
- Local-first by default
Time Saved: Coming soon
Roadmap: Decision Context
Planned: capture decision notes and rationale (beyond operation history).
Try This:
What Makes It Special:
- Designed to prevent overclaims
- Team-focused retention controls
- Exportable summaries
- Audit-friendly primitives
Time Saved: Coming soon
Plan Complex Features Step-by-Step
Break down complex features into manageable tasks. Codehere creates plans that understand dependencies and executes them safely.
Try This:
What Makes It Special:
- Creates step-by-step plans with dependencies
- Breaks complex tasks into smaller steps
- Executes in correct order automatically
- Tracks progress across multiple files
Time Saved: Days of planning → Automated execution
Onboarding Support
Explain and map unfamiliar codebases quickly (scope depends on repo size and indexing).
Try This:
What Makes It Special:
- Understands codebase structure automatically
- Explains patterns and conventions
- Shows examples from actual code
- Answers questions in context
Time Saved: Varies by repo
Enterprise Security & Compliance
Security-first architecture with prompt injection detection, output validation, AI SAST scanning, and compliance-ready audit trails. Export security logs for compliance reviews.
Try This:
What Makes It Special:
- Prompt injection detection blocks malicious inputs before AI processing
- Output validation prevents dangerous code patterns (eval, exec, file ops)
- AI SAST scanner detects security vulnerabilities in generated code
- Compliance-ready audit trail export (JSON/CSV/JSONL) for security reviews
- License scanning prevents license conflicts and contamination
Time Saved: Enterprise-grade security without manual security reviews
Track What Works
See which commands work best for your codebase. Track success rates and make better decisions about automation.
Try This:
What Makes It Special:
- Success rates for different commands
- See which operations succeed or fail
- Identify which features are most reliable
- Set quality standards for automated workflows
Time Saved: Make informed decisions about automation
Illustrative Scenarios
Migrating from REST to GraphQL
The Challenge:
Need to refactor 50+ API endpoints across 12 services while maintaining backward compatibility
The Solution:
The Result:
Example: Codehere can help generate a plan, surface likely dependencies, and keep changes behind review gates.
Impact: Illustrative scenario (not a verified benchmark)
Adding Comprehensive Logging
The Challenge:
Add structured logging across 8 microservices with consistent format and correlation IDs
The Solution:
The Result:
Codehere learned the logging pattern from one service, applied it consistently across all services, and ensured correlation IDs flow through the entire request chain
Impact: 8 services, 100+ files, 1 week → 1 day
Security Audit & Fix
The Challenge:
Security team found 20+ vulnerabilities. Need to fix them across multiple services without breaking functionality
The Solution:
The Result:
Codehere identified all vulnerable code paths, understood the context, applied secure fixes with proper parameterization, and validated each change
Impact: 20+ vulnerabilities, 5 services, 3 days → 4 hours
