Install

# Windows
pip install neuroncli

# Linux / macOS (modern distros use pipx)
pipx install neuroncli

# If pipx not installed:
# sudo apt install pipx && pipx ensurepath    (Debian/Ubuntu)
# sudo dnf install pipx && pipx ensurepath    (Fedora)
# brew install pipx && pipx ensurepath        (macOS)

# From source (any platform)
git clone https://github.com/RAHUL-DevelopeRR/neuroncli.git
cd neuroncli && pip install -e .

# Linux/macOS auto-install script
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RAHUL-DevelopeRR/neuroncli/master/install.sh | bash

Quick Start

# Start interactive REPL
neuron

# One-shot task
neuron "fix the bug in main.py"

# YOLO mode — no permission prompts
neuron --yolo "refactor src/ to use async"

# Plan mode — think first, code later
neuron --plan "add authentication to this API"

# Use local Ollama instead
neuron --provider ollama "explain this codebase"

Zero Setup — First Run

1. Type neuron in any project directory
2. Browser opens to OpenRouter login (free account)
3. API key auto-provisioned + saved to ~/.neuroncli/config.json
4. Done. No manual config, no copy-paste.

Features

Feature	Description
Parallel Tool Execution	Reads 5 files simultaneously, not one-by-one
Git Auto-Commit	Every AI edit is auto-committed like Aider
Context Compression	H2A-style compression prevents context bloat
3 Modes	Standard (ask permission), Plan (think first), YOLO (full auto)
Session Persistence	Resume previous conversations with /resume
Brand Color Output	Clean terminal output with colored tables, headers
NEURON.md	Project context file (like Claude's CLAUDE.md)
Token Tracking	Shows token usage per session
Dual Provider	OpenRouter (cloud, free) + Ollama (local, offline)

Modes

neuron                    # Standard — asks before writing/running
neuron --plan             # Plan — generates plan, waits for approval
neuron --yolo             # YOLO — full autonomous, no prompts

Switch at runtime: /mode plan, /mode yolo, /mode standard
