cli-lm 0.1.0

A CLI tool for prompting an LLM

cli-lm

Switch context less by using a really cheap LLM at the command line.

Installation

# Install from source
git clone https://github.com/davenpi/clm.git
cd clm
pip install -e .

# TODO: Install from PyPI
# pip install clm

Quick Start

The first run will prompt for your Open AI API key. Just paste the key in. Note you'll have to pay Open AI to get yourself an API key and start using their models. For now this package sets gpt-4o-mini as the model of choice. It costs 0.15¢/0.60¢ per 1 million input/output tokens. 1 token ~ 1 word!

# Directly ask a question
clm "How do I amend a commit in git?"

# Interactive mode (input in python interpreter)
clm
> How do I list the processes listening on a given port?

There is multiturn chat. Just hit Ctrl+c or Ctrl+d to exit.

Configuration

The package looks for your Open AI API key in ~/.clm/.env.

To quickly update your API key run:

echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=your_new_key" > ~/.clm/.env

It works on a Mac, but I haven't tried it on any other system.

Ongoing Improvements

• Multi turn chat capability.
• Can't arrow backward on input! Fix.
• Improved multiline input
• System prompting for really concise, helpful answers
• Make set up easier
• Add token/cost accounting
• Make it faster (imports can be slow)
• Add color
