- Interactive terminal interface for seamless chat experiences
- Utilizes `$EDITOR`, write and edit prompts from the comfort of your own editor :)
- `vi`-like bindings
- Syntax highlighting!
## Screenshots
[TODO: Add screenshots of the TUI in action, showing different views and features]

```sh

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 are called upon 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 are used by agents to acquire information from and interact with external systems. The following built-in tools are available:
- `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
Obviously, some of these tools carry significant risk. Use wisely :)
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.
