miniouto

A minimal, file-driven CLI agent harness built on coreouto.

Three principles:

1. Minimalism — No bloat. Extend with styles.
2. Automation-friendly — Full CLI; TUI is optional.
3. Fluidity — Adapts to any environment.

Quick start

# Either add a custom provider by hand:
miniouto provider custom add \
  --name openai \
  --api-key sk-... \
  --base-url https://api.openai.com/v1 \
  --default-model gpt-5.5            # optional; used when chat --model is not given

# Or browse the lma (llm-model-api) catalog and add from there:
miniouto provider providers          # see all 144 catalog providers
miniouto provider add Anthropic --api-key sk-ant-...   # adds it with the first catalog model

miniouto provider default openai
miniouto style set default
miniouto chat "hello"
miniouto                              # TUI mode

Model resolution

The active model is chosen by the first match in:

1. miniouto chat --model <name> (per-call override)
2. settings.model (legacy per-session override; cleared whenever the TUI model picker saves)
3. provider.default_model (set by provider add --default-model, provider custom add --default-model, or the TUI model chip)
4. error — no model can be inferred

Storage

Everything lives under ~/.miniouto/:

• providers.toml — provider configs (one top-level TOML table per provider: api_format, base_url, api_key, default_model, source)
• settings.toml — active provider, model (legacy), style, session, theme
• style/<name>.md — style documents
• sessions/<name>.json — conversation history
• logs/ — reserved (currently unused)

Skills live outside this tree, at ~/.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (the Anthropic convention).

Override the root with the MINIOUTO_HOME environment variable.
