Usage Examples

Basic Question

yb "Write a quicksort in python"
# -> Sure! Here is a quicksort algorithm implemented in **Python**:

Interactive Chat Mode

yb --chat
# or
yb -c
|> Tell me about quantum computing
# -> [AI responds about quantum computing]
|> What are the practical applications?
# -> [AI responds with follow-up information]
|> exit

Process Piped Content

git diff | yb "Generate a commit message"
# -> Added information to the README

yb "What is this project about?" < README.md
# -> This project is about...

Generate Shell Command

yb "How many lines of python code did I write?"
# -> find . -type f -name "*.py" | xargs wc -l
# -> [r]run, [e]edit, [y]copy, [c]chat, [q]quit (default: run): 

Advanced Model Selection

# Use think model for complex analysis
yb --think "Analyze this complex algorithm and suggest optimizations"

# Use fast model for quick responses
yb --fast "Translate 'Hello, World!' to French"

Shell Command Magic Integration

# List directory contents
yb "$(ls) What files are in the current directory?"
# -> The current directory contains: file1.txt, file2.py, directory1/...

# Analyze Git status
yb "$(git status) Which files should I commit first?"

# View code files
yb "$(cat main.py) How can I improve this code?"

Smart Tool Discovery

# Viby will automatically discover and use relevant tools
yb "What's the weather in San Francisco?"
# -> [Viby identifies and uses weather tools]
# -> The current weather in San Francisco is 68°F and partly cloudy...

# Managing tool embeddings from configured MCP servers
yb tools embed
# -> Updates tools' semantic embeddings for better tool discovery

History Management

# View recent interactions
yb history list

# Search your history
yb history search "python"

# Export your interaction history
yb history export history.json

# View command history
yb history shell

Automatically Use MCP Tools When Needed

yb "What time is it now?"
# -> [AI uses time tool to get current time]
# -> "datetime": "2025-05-03T00:49:57+08:00"

Keyboard Shortcuts

Viby provides a convenient keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Q) that allows you to quickly use Viby with the current command line content:

# Install the keyboard shortcuts (auto-detects your shell)
yb shortcuts

# After installation, type any command and press Ctrl+Q
help me analysis my readme file  # Now press Ctrl+Q
# -> This transforms into: yb help me analysis my readme file
# -> [AI analyzes and responds to question]

Supported shells:

• Bash
• Zsh
• Fish

After installing shortcuts, you'll need to reload your shell configuration (source ~/.bashrc, source ~/.zshrc, or equivalent) or restart your terminal for the shortcuts to take effect.

For more detailed examples and advanced usage, see the Usage Examples documentation.

Configuration

Viby reads configuration from ~/.config/viby/config.yaml. You can set the model, parameters, and MCP options here.

Interactive Configuration

Use the configuration wizard to set up your preferences:

yb --config

This allows you to configure:

• API endpoint and key
• Model
• Temperature and token settings
• MCP tools enablement
• Interface language

MCP Server Configuration

Viby supports Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for extended capabilities. MCP configurations are stored in ~/.config/viby/mcp_servers.json.
