+# NPC Shell
+
+The NPC shell is a suite of executable command-line programs that allow users to easily interact with NPCs and LLMs through a command line shell. 
+
+Programs within the NPC shell use the properties defined in `~/.npcshrc`, which is generated upon installation and running of `npcsh` for the first time.
+
+To get started:
+```
+pip install 'npcsh[local]'
+```
+Once installed, the following CLI tools will be available: `npcsh`, `guac`, `npc` cli, `yap` `pti`, `wander`, and `spool`. 
+
+
+# npcsh
+- An AI-powered shell that parses bash, natural language, and special macro calls, `npcsh` processes your input accordingly, agentically, and automatically.
+
+
+  - Get help with a task: 
+      ```
+      npcsh:🤖sibiji:gemini-2.5-flash>can you help me identify what process is listening on port 5337? 
+      ```
+      <p align="center">

+    Bucatini is certainly a favorite for many due to its unique hollow center, which holds sauces beautifully. Whether it's "better" is subjective and depends on the dish and personal        
+    preference. Shapes like orecchiette, rigatoni, or trofie excel in different recipes. Bucatini stands out for its versatility and texture, making it a top contender among pasta shapes!

+# Macros
+-  activated by invoking `/<command> ...` in `npcsh`, macros can be called in bash or through the `npc` CLI. In our examples, we provide both `npcsh` calls as well as bash calls with the `npc` cli where relevant. For converting any `/<command>` in `npcsh` to a bash version, replace the `/` with `npc ` and the macro command will be invoked as a positional argument. Some, like breathe, flush,

Stage 1: `🥑`, Stage 2: `🥑🔪` Stage 3: `🥑🥣` Stage:4 `🥑🥣🧂`, `Stage 5: 🥘 TIME TO REFRESH`. At stage 5, the user is reminded to refresh with the /refresh macro. This will evaluate the session so farand suggest and implement new functions or automations that will aid in future sessions, with the ultimate approval of the user.

+      A system for thinking outside of the box. From our testing, it appears gpt-4o-mini and gpt-series models in general appear to wander the most through various languages and ideas with high temperatures. Gemini models and many llama ones appear more stable despite high temps. Thinking models in general appear to be worse at this task.
+
+      - Wander with an auto-generated environment  
+        ```
+        npc --model "gemini-2.0-flash"  --provider "gemini"  wander "how does the bar of a galaxy influence the the surrounding IGM?" \

+          sample-rate=0.5 \
+          interruption-likelihood=1
+        ```
+      - Specify a custom environment
+        ```
+        npc --model "gpt-4o-mini"  --provider "openai"  wander "how does the goos-hanchen effect impact neutron scattering?" \

+
+## Inference Capabilities
+- `npcsh` works with local and enterprise LLM providers through its LiteLLM integration, allowing users to run inference from Ollama, LMStudio, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and Deepseek, making it a versatile tool for both simple commands and sophisticated AI-driven tasks.

+## Installation
+`npcsh` is available on PyPI and can be installed using pip. Before installing, make sure you have the necessary dependencies installed on your system. Below are the instructions for installing such dependencies on Linux, Mac, and Windows. If you find any other dependencies that are needed, please let us know so we can update the installation instructions to be more accommodating.

+## Startup Configuration and Project Structure
+After `npcsh` has been pip installed, `npcsh`, `guac`, `pti`, `spool`, `yap` and the `npc` CLI can be used as command line tools. To initialize these correctly, first start by starting the NPC shell:
+```bash
+npcsh
+```
+When initialized, `npcsh` will generate a .npcshrc file in your home directory that stores your npcsh settings.
+Here is an example of what the .npcshrc file might look like after this has been run.
+```bash
+# NPCSH Configuration File
+export NPCSH_INITIALIZED=1
+export NPCSH_CHAT_PROVIDER='ollama'
+export NPCSH_CHAT_MODEL='llama3.2'
+export NPCSH_DB_PATH='~/npcsh_history.db'
+```
+
+`npcsh` also comes with a set of jinxs and NPCs that are used in processing. It will generate a folder at ~/.npcsh/ that contains the tools and NPCs that are used in the shell and these will be used in the absence of other project-specific ones. Additionally, `npcsh` records interactions and compiled information about npcs within a local SQLite database at the path specified in the .npcshrc file. This will default to ~/npcsh_history.db if not specified. When the data mode is used to load or analyze data in CSVs or PDFs, these data will be stored in the same database for future reference.
+
+The installer will automatically add this file to your shell config, but if it does not do so successfully for whatever reason you can add the following to your .bashrc or .zshrc:
+
+```bash
+# Source NPCSH configuration
+if [ -f ~/.npcshrc ]; then
+    . ~/.npcshrc
+fi
+```
+
+We support inference via all providers supported by litellm. For openai-compatible providers that are not explicitly named in litellm, use simply `openai-like` as the provider. The default provider must be one of `['openai','anthropic','ollama', 'gemini', 'deepseek', 'openai-like']` and the model must be one available from those providers.
+
+To use tools that require API keys, create an `.env` file in the folder where you are working or place relevant API keys as env variables in your ~/.npcshrc. If you already have these API keys set in a ~/.bashrc or a ~/.zshrc or similar files, you need not additionally add them to ~/.npcshrc or to an `.env` file. Here is an example of what an `.env` file might look like:
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_key"
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your_anthropic_key"
+export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY='your_deepseek_key'
+export GEMINI_API_KEY='your_gemini_key'
+export PERPLEXITY_API_KEY='your_perplexity_key'
+```
+
+
+ Individual npcs can also be set to use different models and providers by setting the `model` and `provider` keys in the npc files.
+ Once initialized and set up, you will find the following in your ~/.npcsh directory:
+```bash
+~/.npcsh/
+├── npc_team/           # Global NPCs
+│   ├── jinxs/          # Global tools
+│   └── assembly_lines/ # Workflow pipelines
+
+```
+For cases where you wish to set up a project specific set of NPCs, jinxs, and assembly lines, add a `npc_team` directory to your project and `npcsh` should be able to pick up on its presence, like so:
+```bash
+./npc_team/            # Project-specific NPCs
+├── jinxs/             # Project jinxs #example jinx next
+│   └── example.jinx
+└── assembly_lines/    # Project workflows
+    └── example.pipe
+└── models/    # Project workflows
+    └── example.model
+└── example1.npc        # Example NPC
+└── example2.npc        # Example NPC
+└── team.ctx            # Example ctx
+
+
+```
