This project is a collection of lightweight Bash scripts that connect a terminal workflow to web based AI chat subscriptions such as Claude.ai or Grok. Rather than calling a paid API from an editor, the developer copies project context into the chat window and applies the reply back to their files. It is aimed at developers who already pay for a consumer LLM subscription and want to keep working in the terminal. The repository describes four tools. The context script extracts code context from a project to paste into a chat. The apply md script applies code changes from the model's markdown response. The git context script generates git context for AI assisted commit messages, and autocommit uses it to create those messages automatically. The README recommends copying the scripts and a prompts directory into each project for heavy use, and installation otherwise means cloning the repository and making the scripts executable. It positions the approach as cheaper than dedicated API usage, citing roughly $20 to $30 per month for a web subscription against $100 to $500 per month for heavy API use, and as following the Unix idea of small tools that each do one thing. The code is released under the Unlicense and is free to use. It is maintained in a public GitHub repository, which has moved to the Berrry Computer organization.
