CLI AI assistants

We’ve had the copy/pasting era of the LLMs, we have AI assistants inside our editors and now we also have them as CLI programs. Having them side-by-side with your local files and letting it loose is a sight to behold. The UI is interesting, too. Slash commands, auto-complete and a text input with many shortcuts, vim-bindings and so on. Pretty fun way to interact with your files.

claude just works really well.

gemini (Google’s AI) released their CLI tool and made it open source. It was interesting to read their system prompt.
