## Core features

These capabilities are available across all environments.

### Context-aware assistance

Autohand Code understands your entire codebase. It reads your project structure, analyzes dependencies, and uses AGENTS.md files to understand your conventions and patterns.

### Multi-file operations

Make changes across multiple files in a single operation. Autohand Code tracks dependencies and ensures consistency when refactoring, adding features, or fixing bugs.

### Git integration

Built-in git support for reviewing changes, creating commits, and managing branches. Use `/commit` to generate meaningful commit messages automatically.

### Skills system

Extend Autohand Code with specialized skills for frontend development, data analysis, SRE tasks, and more. Skills provide domain-specific knowledge and capabilities.

### Autonomous operation

Enable auto-mode for hands-free operation. Autohand Code will work through complex tasks, making decisions and iterating until the job is done.
