Mammouth Code ​

Mammouth Code is Mammouth AI's terminal-based coding agent.

➡️ Get your API key — required to use Mammouth Code.

This project is open source and available on GitHub.

Installation ​

Run one of the following commands in your terminal.

bash
curl -fsSL "https://code.mammouth.ai/install.sh" | bash
powershell
irm "https://code.mammouth.ai/install.ps1" | iex

Use in your Terminal ​

Simply type mammouth to run the coding agent.

Use in your IDE ​

For the best experience, open Mammouth Code in the integrated terminal of your IDE (VS Code, Cursor, WebStorm, etc.):

  1. Open the integrated terminal in your IDE
  2. Navigate to your project directory
  3. Run: mammouth

That's it — Mammouth Code will start an interactive session right in your terminal.

Continue a previous session ​

There are 2 ways to continue a previous session:

  • Run mammouth as usual, then use the /sessions command to switch to an old session.
  • Run mammouth -c to continue the last session used in the current folder.

Update ​

To update Mammouth Code to the latest version:

bash
mammouth upgrade

This will fetch and install the latest version, replacing the old one while keeping your configurations and sessions intact.

Uninstall ​

To completely remove Mammouth Code from your system:

bash
mammouth uninstall

This will remove Mammouth Code along with its configurations and sessions.

Token Consumption in Mammouth Code ​

Mammouth Code dynamically injects system prompts depending on what you ask it to do — which explains the ~10k additional tokens you may notice.

What might look like "heavy" prompts actually saves tokens on larger projects: they allow the LLM to read only the relevant files, rather than loading your entire codebase into context. That overhead looks significant when working on a single file, but the real purpose is to route the request to the right tool for the task at hand.

A simple rule of thumb:

  • 📁 Use Mammouth Code if your project has 10+ files, or if you're working with a long context — which covers most real-world programming projects.
  • 💬 Use the standard Mammouth interface if you're dealing with a manageable context: two or three files, ~500 lines max (e.g., trying to understand a specific function — unless you're deep into triple-inherited OOP classes 😄).

Note on Claude Haiku: This smaller model is currently used to generate session titles. This will be configurable in a future update.
