termaitrik 1.3.0

Terminal AI assistant inspired by Warp AI, supporting Ollama and BYOK

TermAI — AI assistant for your terminal (Ollama + BYOK)

Version: 1.3.0

TermAI is a terminal AI assistant (CLI + local server) inspired by Warp AI. It works offline with Ollama and supports BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) for cloud providers (OpenAI or compatible endpoints).

Features

• termai chat ["initial message"] — interactive general chat with conversation history (optional streaming)
• termai suggest "...description..." — generates shell commands with reasoning and risks
• termai explain --cmd "command" — explains what a command does
• termai fix --cmd "command" --error "stderr" — suggests a fix
• termai run "...description..." — suggests a command and asks for confirmation before executing it
• termai agent "...goal..." — experimental multi‑step iterative assistant (proposes & confirms each command)
• termai install-shell [--shell SHELL] — install shell alias
• termai uninstall-shell — uninstall shell alias
• Local FastAPI server: uvicorn termai.server:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8765

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• (Optional) Ollama at http://127.0.0.1:11434
• (Optional) cloud provider key for BYOK (OPENAI_API_KEY etc.)

Installation & Quick Start

Install from PyPI:

pip install termaitrik
termai --help

Or run without installing:

uvx --from termaitrik termai --help

For development (from source):

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .
termai --help

The shell integration alias (see below) provides resilient fallbacks that work across all install modes.

Configuration

Create ~/.termai/config.yaml (see examples/config.example.yaml).

Minimal example (Ollama):

default_provider: ollama
model: llama3.1:8b
ollama:
  host: http://127.0.0.1:11434

BYOK example (OpenAI):

default_provider: openai
model: gpt-4o-mini
openai:
  api_key: sk-...
  base_url: https://api.openai.com/v1

Useful environment variables: TERMAI_PROVIDER, TERMAI_MODEL, OPENAI_API_KEY, OPENAI_BASE_URL, OLLAMA_HOST.

Shell Integration (alias ai)

Install a resilient alias that falls back across install modes:

Option 1: Using TermAI CLI (Recommended)

termai install-shell
# then reopen your shell (or: source ~/.bashrc | ~/.zshrc | fish config)
ai suggest "create a tar archive of the current folder"

Uninstall:

termai uninstall-shell

Option 2: Using scripts directly

bash scripts/install-shell-integration.sh
# then reopen your shell (or: source ~/.bashrc | ~/.zshrc | fish config)
ai suggest "create a tar archive of the current folder"

Uninstall:

bash scripts/uninstall-shell-integration.sh

Shell Integration Details

The alias resolution order:

1. Global/venv command termai
2. Importable module: python -m termai.cli
3. PyPI package via uvx termai
4. Local repository via uvx --from <repo> (development)

Local Server API

Start:

uvicorn termai.server:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8765

Endpoints:

• GET /health → { "ok": true }
• POST /v1/chat → body:

  {"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"hi"}],"provider":"ollama","model":"llama3.1:8b"}
  

  Response: { "content": "..." }

Safety & Warnings

• Always inspect and confirm suggested commands before executing.
• Redact secrets before sending errors or stack traces to providers.
• Local models (Ollama) keep data on your machine; cloud providers transmit prompts off‑device.

Changelog Highlights 1.0.0

• Added robust shell integration with multi-fallback launcher.
• Stabilized command set (chat, suggest, explain, fix, run, plus info/examples helpers).
• Improved provider error handling & streaming.
• Config merging & environment variable expansion.
• Extended test coverage across core flows.

Experimental Agent Mode

You can try an early iterative "agent" loop that plans and executes several shell commands with your confirmation between steps:

termai agent "list the latest 5 created files, then show the first"

Workflow per step:

1. Model emits JSON: { "thought", "command", "explanation", "done" }.
2. You confirm/modify/abort; if accepted the command runs locally.
3. Stdout/stderr are summarized and appended to the conversation as an observation.
4. Loop continues until done=true, command empty, or max steps reached (default 6).

Options (current minimal POC):

--steps N          maximum steps (default 6)
--dry-run          never execute commands (records hypothetical observations)
--model / -m       override configured model
--temperature / -t sampling temperature (default 0.1)

Roadmap ideas (not yet implemented): whitelist & yolo auto‑approval modes, danger pattern guard, transcript export, richer tool schema. Feedback welcome.
