Project description
AI terminal assistant powered by OpenRouter — minimal, fast, developer UX.
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.
