-# lmcli
+# lmcli - Large Language Model CLI
 
-`lmcli` is a (Large) Language Model CLI.
+`lmcli` is a versatile command-line interface for interacting with LLMs and LMMs.
 
-Current features:
-- Perform one-shot prompts with `lmcli prompt <message>`
-- Manage persistent conversations with the `new`, `reply`, `view`, `rm`,
-  `edit`, `retry`, `continue` sub-commands.
-- Syntax highlighted output
-- Tool calling, see the [Tools](#tools) section.
+## Features
 
-Maybe features:
-- Chat-like interface (`lmcli chat`) for rapid back-and-forth conversations
-- Support for additional models/APIs besides just OpenAI
+- Multiple model backends (Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google)
+- Customizable agents with tool calling
+- Persistent conversation management
+- Message branching (edit and re-prompt to your heart's desire)
+- Interactive terminal interface for seamless chat experiences
+- Syntax highlighting!

+
+## Installation
+
+To install `lmcli`, make sure you have Go installed on your system, then run:
+
+```sh
+go install git.mlow.ca/mlow/lmcli@latest
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+`lmcli` uses a YAML configuration file located at `~/.config/lmcli/config.yaml`. Here's a sample configuration:
+
+```yaml
+defaults:
+  model: claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620
+  maxTokens: 3072
+  temperature: 0.2
+conversations:
+  titleGenerationModel: claude-3-haiku-20240307
+chroma:
+  style: onedark
+  formatter: terminal16m
+agents:
+  - name: coder
+    tools:
+      - dir_tree
+      - read_file
+      #- write_file
+    systemPrompt: |
+      You are an experienced software engineer...
+  # ...
+providers:
+  - kind: ollama
+    models:
+      - phi3:instruct
+      - llama3:8b
+  - kind: anthropic
+    apiKey: your-api-key-here
+    models:
+      - claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620
+      - claude-3-opus-20240229
+      - claude-3-haiku-20240307
+  - kind: openai
+    apiKey: your-api-key-here
+    models:
+      - gpt-4o
+      - gpt-4-turbo
+  - name: openrouter
+    kind: openai
+    apiKey: your-api-key-here
+    baseUrl: https://openrouter.ai/api/
+    models:
+      - qwen/qwen-2-72b-instruct
+  # ...
+```
+
+Customize this file to add your own providers, agents, and models.
+
+### Syntax highlighting
+
+Syntax highlighting is performed by [Chroma](https://github.com/alecthomas/chroma).
+
+Refer to [`Chroma/styles`](https://github.com/alecthomas/chroma/tree/master/styles) for available styles (TODO: add support for custom Chroma styles).
+
+Available formatters:
+- `terminal` - 8 colors
+- `terminal16` - 16 colors
+- `terminal256` - 256 colors
+- `terminal16m` - true color (default)
+
+## Agents
+
+Agents in `lmcli` combine a system prompt with a set of available tools. Agents are defined in`config.yaml` and you use them with the `-a`/`--agent` flag.
+
+Agent functionality is expected to be expanded on, bringing them to close parity with something like OpenAI's "Assistants" feature.
 
 ## Tools
-Tools must be explicitly enabled by adding the tool's name to the
-`openai.enabledTools` array in `config.yaml`.
 
-Note: all filesystem related tools operate relative to the current directory
-only. They do not accept absolute paths, and efforts are made to ensure they
-cannot escape above the working directory). **Close attention must be paid to
-where you are running `lmcli`, as the model could at any time decide to use one
-of these tools to discover and read potentially sensitive information from your
-filesystem.**
+Tools are used by agents to acquire information from and interact with external systems. The following built-in tools are available:
 
-It's best to only have tools enabled in `config.yaml` when you intend to be
-using them, since their descriptions (see `pkg/cli/functions.go`) count towards
-context usage.
+- `dir_tree`: Display a directory structure
+- `read_file`: Read the contents of a file
+- `write_file`: Write content to a file
+- `file_insert_lines`: Insert lines at a specific position in a file
+- `file_replace_lines`: Replace a range of lines in a file
 
-Available tools:
+Obviously, some of these tools carry significant risk. Use wisely :)
 
-- `read_dir` - Read the contents of a directory.
-- `read_file` - Read the contents of a file.
-- `write_file` - Write contents to a file.
-- `file_insert_lines` - Insert lines at a position within a file. Tricky for
-  the model to use, but can potentially save tokens.
-- `file_replace_lines` - Remove or replace a range of lines within a file. Even
-  trickier for the model to use.
-
-## Install
-
-```shell
-$ go install git.mlow.ca/mlow/lmcli@latest
-```
+More tool features are planned, including the ability to define arbitrary tools which call out to external scripts, tools to spawn sub-agents, perform web searches, etc.
 
 ## Usage
 
-Invoke `lmcli` at least once:
-
-```shell
+```console
 $ lmcli help
+lmcli - Large Language Model CLI
+
+Usage:
+  lmcli <command> [flags]
+  lmcli [command]
+
+Available Commands:
+  chat        Open the chat interface
+  clone       Clone conversations
+  completion  Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
+  continue    Continue a conversation from the last message
+  edit        Edit the last user reply in a conversation
+  help        Help about any command
+  list        List conversations
+  new         Start a new conversation
+  prompt      Do a one-shot prompt
+  rename      Rename a conversation
+  reply       Reply to a conversation
+  retry       Retry the last user reply in a conversation
+  rm          Remove conversations
+  view        View messages in a conversation
+
+Flags:
+  -h, --help   help for lmcli
+
+Use "lmcli [command] --help" for more information about a command.
 ```
 
-Edit `~/.config/lmcli/config.yaml` and set `openai.apiKey` to your API key.
+### Examples
 
-Refer back to the output of `lmcli help` for usage.
+Start a new chat with the `coder` agent:
 
-Enjoy!
+```console
+$ lmcli chat --agent coder
+```
+
+Start a new conversation, imperative style (no tui):
+
+```console
+$ lmcli new "Help me plan meals for the next week"
+```
+
+Send a one-shot prompt (no persistence):
+
+```console
+$ lmcli prompt "What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?"
+```
