How to pronounce codebuff

codebuff is most commonly pronounced "kohd buhf" (/ˈkoʊdbʌf/). This is the widely-used reading among engineers, though edge cases exist.

Open-source multi-agent terminal coding agent by CodebuffAI; benchmarks against Claude Code. Name is "code" + "buff" (buffed-up / enhanced). STRESS first syllable: CODE-buff. "buff" rhymes with "stuff"/"rough" (NOT "byoof"). No creator-documented pronunciation found, but both halves are everyday English words so the reading is unambiguous. Formerly named Manicode.

Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will.
