Get started - Symbiotic Security

Symbiotic Code is a security-first coding agent that runs in your terminal. To use it you will need:

A terminal: Use the default terminal, or a modern terminal emulator like iTerm or Warp. It can also run in an IDE terminal (e.g., VS Code terminal).
A Symbiotic Security account: Ask your admin or Symbiotic point of contact for access.

Installation

Install Symbiotic Code using the following command:

npm install -g @symbioticsec/code

Check that node and npm are properly installed:

If they are not installed, install them and retry.

To launch Symbiotic Code, use the symbiotic command in your terminal:

If an update is available, the CLI will auto-update on the next launch.

A Symbiotic Security account is required. If you don’t have access, contact your administrator or Symbiotic point of contact.

On first launch, you’ll be prompted to enter your personal access token:
