Chat with GPT

Config setup

On first run, termq creates this config layout automatically:

~/.config/termq/
  characters/   # built-in presets copied from the package
  history/      # chat_history-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.json files

You can pass either a preset name (for example -c hal9000) or a full path to a custom character file.
