The CLI selects analysis tools for the repository's languages and can synchronize an existing team's ruleset. The release walkthrough says this local scanning workflow requires no Codacy account.
A separate Code Review Skill combines local and cloud findings for an existing pull request and requires an account. Running analysis locally can move discovery and repair earlier in development, but coverage checks still depend on the continuous-integration system running tests and uploading their results.
