yai

yai is a CLI that sends a prompt (and optional stdin) to an LLM and streams the response. Refactored from charmbracelet/mods.

Use it for:

• Summarizing command output
• Generating structured text (Markdown, JSON, YAML) in pipelines
• Iterating on a prompt while keeping a local conversation history

Quick start

1. Install

go install github.com/dotcommander/yai@latest

2. Configure

export OPENAI_API_KEY=... # or configure another provider
yai --settings            # creates/edits ~/.config/yai/yai.yml

3. First successful run

git status | yai "summarize what changed"
