nimbie-shell 0.0.3.dev5

Lightweight agent loop and context manager (standalone)

nimbie

nimbie is a terminal-first coding assistant shell.

This repository now contains two main parts:

• nimbie (root package): REPL/UI, command tools, shell execution flow, session UX
• oturn (sub-package): standalone async orchestration/runtime core for agent turns

Repository Layout

• src/nimbie: CLI app and terminal UI
• oturn/src/oturn: reusable orchestration package
• chron: chronml package used for message/config templating
• flash: shell runtime bridge and executor components

Requirements

• Python >=3.10
• uv (recommended)

Install (Root CLI)

uv sync
uv pip install -e .

Run:

nimbie --help
uv run nimbie --help

Install (oturn only)

If you only want the orchestration package:

cd oturn
uv sync
uv pip install -e .

Build

Root package:

uv build

oturn package:

cd oturn
uv build

Config

The CLI loads config from (first match wins by runtime path logic):

• ~/.nimbie/config.py
• ~/.nimbie/config.json
• ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
• .nimbie_config.py
• .nimbie_config.json

Session and History

• Session artifacts are stored under .nimbie/ in the workspace/global locations used by CLI.
• The UI supports continue/list/export workflows via CLI flags and REPL commands.

Notes

• Flash runtime is expected for shell parsing/execution flow.
• oturn does not use global auto tool registry; tools are injected explicitly at runtime.
