Lovelaice
A sovereign, local-first coding agent for the terminal. Single ReAct loop over a small built-in tool set, yolo by default. Two modes:
- Interactive — full-screen Textual TUI:
lovelaice - One-shot — streams to stdout and exits:
lovelaice <prompt>
Install
pipx install lovelaice
Configure
lovelaice --init writes a .lovelaice.py in the current directory.
This file grounds the workspace: when you run lovelaice from any
subdirectory, it walks up to the nearest .lovelaice.py and chdirs
to its directory before running. Exactly one config grounds the
workspace — there is no stacking.
Set OPENROUTER_API_KEY in your environment before running.
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-...
lovelaice
Commands and tools
The .lovelaice.py registers tools and commands as decorators on a
Config object. Built-in tools: bash, read, write, edit,
list, glob, grep, fetch. Add your own with @config.tool.
See know-how/writing-a-tool.md and know-how/writing-a-command.md.
Thinking mode
Add thinking="high" (or "low"/"medium", or an integer token
budget) on a model entry to enable OpenRouter's reasoning passthrough.
Reasoning chunks render in a separate dim-italic panel above the
agent's reply. Non-OpenRouter base URLs silently ignore the knob —
v1 does not translate reasoning protocols across providers.
MCP
Pass mcp=[...] to Config(...) to spawn stdio MCP servers and
register their tools. Tool names are prefixed mcp:<server>:<tool>.
config = Config(
models=MODELS,
prompt=PROMPT,
mcp=[
{"name": "filesystem", "command": "npx",
"args": ["@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "."]},
],
)
