Installation
pip install axio-tools-local
Usage
Standalone (without TUI)
from axio.agent import Agent
from axio.context import MemoryContextStore
from axio_transport_openai import OpenAITransport, OPENAI_MODELS
from axio_tools_local.shell import shell
from axio_tools_local.read_file import read_file
from axio_tools_local.write_file import write_file
from axio_tools_local.list_files import list_files
from axio.tool import Tool
tools = [
Tool(name="shell", handler=shell),
Tool(name="read_file", handler=read_file),
Tool(name="write_file", handler=write_file),
Tool(name="list_files", handler=list_files),
]
agent = Agent(
system="You are a coding assistant with access to the local filesystem.",
tools=tools,
transport=OpenAITransport(api_key="sk-...", model=OPENAI_MODELS["gpt-4o"]),
)
Via plugin (with axio-tui)
pip install "axio-tui[local]"
uv run axio # shell, read_file, write_file, patch_file, list_files, run_python appear automatically
Tool details
shell
import asyncio
from axio_tools_local.shell import shell
asyncio.run(shell(command="echo hello", cwd=".", timeout=30))
asyncio.run(shell(command="cat", stdin="hello"))
Parameters: command: str, timeout: int = 5, cwd: str = ".", stdin: str | None = None
patch_file
Replaces a range of lines in an existing file - safe for surgical edits without
rewriting the whole file. Lines are 1-indexed and both from_line and to_line
are inclusive. To insert without deleting any existing lines, set
to_line = from_line - 1. Always read the file first with line_numbers=True to
get correct line numbers.
import asyncio
import tempfile, os
from axio_tools_local.patch_file import patch_file
with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(mode="w", suffix=".py", delete=False) as f:
f.write("line1\nline2\nline3\n")
name = f.name
# Replace line 2
asyncio.run(patch_file(file_path=name, from_line=2, to_line=2, content="replaced\n"))
os.unlink(name)
Parameters: file_path: str, from_line: int, to_line: int, content: str, mode: int = 0o644
list_files
import asyncio
from axio_tools_local.list_files import list_files
asyncio.run(list_files(directory="."))
run_python
import asyncio
from axio_tools_local.run_python import run_python
asyncio.run(run_python(code="import sys; print(sys.version)"))
