Package version Supported Python versions Monthly downloads Total downloads GitHub Stars


Source Code: https://github.com/ndugram/hitmos


Hitmos is a modern AI terminal assistant for developers, powered by OpenRouter. It brings a Claude Code–styled UX to your terminal — live markdown streaming, interactive model switching, project context injection, and Tab completion, all with zero latency overhead.

Key features:

  • Streaming — responses stream token-by-token with live Markdown rendering via rich.
  • Multi-model — switch between DeepSeek, Gemini, Claude, GPT-4o, Llama, and more with an interactive arrow-key picker.
  • Project context — automatically injects your project files into the system prompt so the model can answer project-specific questions.
  • Tab completion/model <Tab> lists all available models; / completes all commands.
  • Minimal UX — Claude Code–inspired welcome panel, status lines, clean > prompt.
  • Fast — built on fasthttp-client with full async SSE streaming.
  • Configurable — API key via env (OPEN_TOKEN, OPENROUTER_API_KEY) or ~/.hitmos/config.toml.
