Project description

LMtoolbox

LMtoolbox is an collection of CLI tools using language models designed to modernize your workflow in the terminal. Built using OpenAI's ChatGPT, the tools in this toolbox can generate automatic commit messages, perform dictionary and thesaurus queries, translate text, proofread content, enrich language learning, and automate shell commands, among others. Obviously, you can also interact with ChatGPT directly.

Prompt Templates

For those less experienced with terminal interfaces or those preferring the convenience of a web interface, the ChatGPT web interface templates in the LMtoolbox can prove incredibly useful. These templates offer a broad spectrum of pre-structured prompts designed to enhance your engagement with ChatGPT, particularly in the context of longer chat interactions with GPT-4 in order to avoid expensive API costs.

These templates, found in the prompt-templates/ directory, cater to various situations and are an excellent resource if you're uncertain about structuring prompts or seek to improve the effectiveness of your existing ones.

Installation

pip

python3 -m pip install lmtoolbox

pipx, the Easy Way

pipx install lmtoolbox

Getting Started

Configuring your OpenAI API key

For LMtoolbox to work properly, it is necessary to acquire and configure an OpenAI API key. Follow these steps to accomplish this:

  1. Acquire the OpenAI API key: You can do this by creating an account on the OpenAI website. Once registered, you will have access to your unique API key.

  2. Set usage limit: Before you start using the API, you need to define a usage limit. You can configure this in your OpenAI account settings by navigating to Billing -> Usage limits.

  3. Configure the OpenAI API key: Once you have your API key, you can set it up by running the lmt key set command.

    lmt key set
    

With these steps, you should now have successfully set up your OpenAI API key, ready for use with the LMtoolbox

Tools

Instructions on how to use each of the tools are included in the individual directories under tools/. This is also where I give some tricks and tips on their usage 💡👀💭.

Note that LMterminal (lmt) is the main tool in the LMtoolbox. All of its options apply to (almost) all of the other tools. For instance, you change the model to GPT-4o with -m 4o or add emojis with --emoji. Refer to the LMterminal's documentation for more information.

  • Reading from stdin: Almost all of the tools can read from stdin. For instance: cat my_text.md | summarize.

  • Output Redirection: You can use output redirections with the tools. For instance: cat my_text.md | critique --raw > critique_of_my_text.md

Here's a brief overview of the tools:

LMterminal (lmt)

LMterminal (lmt) empowers you to interact directly with ChatGPT from the comfort of your terminal. One of the core features of lmt is its ability to facilitate the creation of custom templates, enabling you to design your personalized toolbox of CLI applications. You can easily install its standalone version from the project's repository.
