leid 0.1.0

Estonian word lookup CLI for AI-driven language teaching

leid

Estonian word lookup CLI. Wraps the ekilex.ee dictionary API.

Ships with a Claude Code skill so your AI language tutor can look up words, paradigms, and identify inflected forms — without guessing from memory.

Install

Requires Python 3.11+ and uv.

uv tool install git+https://github.com/yourusername/leid

Or from PyPI:

uv tool install leid

Configure

Get an API key from ekilex.ee.

export LEID_API_KEY=your_key_here

Or persist it in ~/.config/leid/config.toml:

[api]
key = "your_key_here"

[output]
format = "markdown"   # or "pretty"

Usage

leid search tee          # all "tee" homonyms with wordIds
leid lookup 10234        # definition, examples, grammar notes
leid paradigm 10234      # full 14-case declension table
leid identify majas      # → maja · sg in (Inessive singular)

Default output is markdown (for AI context). For terminal use:

leid --format pretty paradigm 10234

Claude Code skill

cp skill.md ~/.claude/skills/leid.md
# or:
./install-skill.sh

Teaches Claude when and how to call leid during Estonian lessons — always verifying paradigms from the dictionary rather than memory.
