155
+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
156
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
157
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
158
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
159
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
160

+
41
+ **slash-agent** is a zero-overhead, dormant AI coding partner integrated natively into your active Bash shell. Simply type `/agent` when you hit a blocker.
42
+
43
+ * 🖥️ **Terminal Context Capture:** Instantly reads recent `tmux` scrollback or shell history to diagnose errors without manual copy-pasting.
44
+ * 🔒 **Local & Private LLMs:** Operates 100% offline with local Ollama instances or cloud powerhouses (OpenAI/Azure OpenAI).
45
+ * 🔀 **Host Shell State Sync:** Automatically persists directory transitions (`cd`) and environment exports (`export`) back to your parent shell session on exit.

52
+ > 1. What is this tool, what is a typical use-case, and do I need it?
53
+ > 2. How does it differ from similar tools?
54
+ > 3. Give me an open-ended assessment based on the actual codebase/structure (not just README marketing): Does it deliver on its claimed USP?
55
+ > Keep your answer concise so I can digest it in 10 seconds.

59
+
60
+ ## ⚡ Quick Start
61
+
62
+ ### Recommended: Install via `pipx` or `pip`
63
+
64
+ ```bash
65
+ pipx install slash-agent && slash-agent init --install
66
+ ```
67
+ *(Or `pip install slash-agent && slash-agent init --install` in your active Python environment).*
68
+
69
+ Restart your shell or run `source ~/.bashrc` (or `~/.zshrc`, `~/.config/fish/config.fish`). You can now run `/agent` or `agent` from anywhere in your terminal!
70
+
71
+ > **Alternative (Zero-Dependency Curl Installer):**
72
+ > If you prefer a self-contained git clone and virtualenv setup without managing pipx:
73
+ > ```bash
74
+ > curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/akatzmann/slash-agent/master/bin/installer.sh | bash
75
+ > ```
76
+
77
+ > **Updating:**
78
+ > Whenever a new release drops, simply run `/agent --update` (or `/agent --upgrade` / `agent -u`) in your terminal.

81
+
82
+ ### 🔍 The 10-Second Reality Check
83
+
84
+ | 🟢 What it IS | 🔴 What it IS NOT |
85
+ | :--- | :--- |
86
+ | **⚡ A zero-latency terminal utility.** It remains completely dormant and consumes exactly 0MB of RAM until you type `/agent` or `agent`. | **🕵️‍♂️ A resident background daemon.** It does not track your keystrokes in real-time, run background analytics, or drain your battery. |
87
+ | **🪟 A screen-aware scraper.** It instantly pulls the last 50–100 lines of your active shell history or `tmux` scrollback to diagnose the error that just occurred. | **🏗️ A project architect.** It is not designed to map out massive 50-file repository architectures or handle monolithic code refactors. |
88
+ | **🛠️ An interactive shell executor.** It feeds commands into a real pseudo-terminal (PTY) and asks for live user validation before executing. | **📋 A basic copy-paster.** It doesn't just vomit Markdown code blocks that leave you manually highlighting, copying, and running text. |
89
+ | **🔀 A state-synchronizer.** It bridges the gap between subshells, allowing environment exports and directory changes (`cd`) to persist in your parent shell. | **🏞️ A sandboxed IDE.** It modifies your actual live environment; it is not an isolated, safe-play sandbox. |
90
+
91
+ ### 🔒 Privacy & Security Model
92
+
93
+ For detailed specifications on the safety sandbox, permission gating, sensitive path restrictions, and transient logging, see the [Security Model Guide](docs/security_model.md).
94
+
95
+ Unlike web interfaces or proprietary commercial wrappers that silently pipe your telemetry to corporate servers, **slash-agent** puts you in total control of your data flow:
96
+
97
+ * **🔐 Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK):** It talks directly to LLM providers via standard API endpoints (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, etc.). No middleman server intercepts your terminal logs or source code.
98
+ * **🏠 100% Air-Gapped / Offline Capable:** By pointing the backend API configuration to a local Ollama instance or an OpenAI-compatible local server (such as `llama.cpp`, `vLLM`, `SGLang`, or `Xinference`), your terminal history, source code, and error tracebacks never leave your physical machine. See [Configuring Local Providers](docs/documentation.md#5-local-openai-compatible-apis) for detailed instructions.
99
+
100
+ ### 🛡️ Best Practices & Responsible Usage
101
+
102
+ * **💰 Token Spending & Cost Control:** You provide your own API credentials for cloud models. You are responsible for monitoring token consumption and setting spending limits/quotas in your provider consoles (OpenAI, Azure). For zero cost and zero network egress, use local models via [Ollama](https://ollama.com).
103
+ * **👁️ Interactive Command Verification:** By default, every proposed command pauses for interactive confirmation (`[y]es / [n]o / [e]dit / [c]omment`). Always review proposed shell commands before confirming. Use `e` to tweak arguments inline or `c` to redirect the agent.
104
+ * **⚠️ Unattended Execution Precautions:** The `-y` / `--yes` flag bypasses confirmation prompts. Use unattended flags only in ephemeral containers or safe development environments.
105
+ * **📄 License & Warranty:** Provided "as is" under the Apache-2.0 License. Contributors assume no liability for commands executed or API expenses incurred.
106
+

108
+
109
+
110
+ ## 🌟 Key Features
111
+
112
+ * **🤖 LLM Agnostic & Privacy First:** Supports local offline models (like Ollama) with zero keys required and zero data leaving your machine, as well as OpenAI and Azure OpenAI.
113
+
114
+ * **🔌 Zero-Overhead Integration:** Completely passive. Consumes zero CPU/memory until you run `/agent`—no running background daemons, cron jobs, or log listeners.
115
+ * **🔍 Context-Aware Diagnoses:** Instantly extracts the last 50 lines of your active `tmux` pane or terminal history, letting the LLM read error outputs and tracebacks without manual copy-pasting.
116
+ * **⚡ State Synchronization:** Working directory transitions (`cd`) and environment exports (`export KEY=VAL`) made by the agent automatically sync back to your parent shell session on exit.
117
+ * **🌉 Interactive PTY Bridge:** Executes proposed commands in a pseudo-terminal (PTY), allowing you to interactively type passwords (e.g. `sudo`), view colored output, and see progress bars.
118
+ * **🕹️ Steerable Confirmation Loop:** Full control over every action:
119
+ * **`y` (yes):** Run the command.
120
+ * **`n` (no):** Refuse the command and inform the agent.
121
+ * **`e` (edit):** Inline edit the command before running it.
122
+ * **`c` (comment):** Type natural language guidance back to the agent (e.g. *"Use yarn instead of npm"*).
123
+ * **🛡️ Dry-run & Auto-confirm Modes:** Preview agent actions safely with `-n` / `--dry-run`, or run fully unattended with `-y` / `--yes`.
124
+ * **🧩 Agent Skills:** Drop a `SKILL.md` into `.agent/skills/`, `.claude/skills/`, `.github/skills/`, or global paths like `~/.gemini/config/skills/` and the agent automatically discovers and uses it. Compatible with Claude, Copilot, Gemini, and other standard skill formats. See [`docs/skills-guide.md`](docs/skills-guide.md) for details.

152
+
153
+ ## 🎯 Common Use Cases
154
+
155
+ * 🛠️ **Build & Test Crashes:** When a compiler error, script traceback, or unit test fails, simply run `/agent` to let it read the error logs directly and propose a fix.
156
+ * 📦 **Dependency Resolution:** Missing package imports? The agent reads the import error, installs the package, and verifies the build.
157
+ * 💻 **Quick Scripting & Automation:** Ask the agent to generate helper scripts, configure development environments, or perform regex logs processing on the fly.
158
+ * ⚙️ **System Configuration:** Easily set up local databases, systemd services, or configuration files without looking up command flags.

+ ## 🔍 How it Works
181
+
182
+ Unlike standard agents that run in isolated subshells (and cannot modify your current directory or environment), **slash-agent** uses a lightweight state synchronization protocol:
183
+
184
+ ```mermaid
185
+ graph TD
186
+ A[Active Bash Session] -->|1. Type /agent| B(Bash Sourcing Wrapper bin/slash-agent.sh)
187
+ B -->|2. Capture Screen Output| C(Python Orchestrator slash_agent/main.py)
188
+ C -->|3. Interface with local/cloud LLM| C
189
+ C -->|4. Propose commands| D(PTY Execution Bridge)
190
+ D -->|5. Interactive Steering Loop| A
191
+ D -->|6. Capture exit code, PWD, env updates| B
192
+ B -->|7. Source sync file on exit| A
193
+ ```
194
+
195
+ 1. **Context Capture:** The shell wrapper automatically captures the active `tmux` pane buffer (or history) to give the LLM immediate context.
196
+ 2. **Interactive PTY Bridge:** Commands run inside a real pseudo-terminal (PTY) so you see colored outputs, progress bars, and can interact with prompts (like typing passwords for `sudo`).
197
+ 3. **Parent Shell Sync:** Directory changes (`cd`) or environment variables (`export`) are safely passed back to your main shell session via a temporary sourcing script on exit.

201
+ ## 🔧 Development Installation (From Source)
202
+
203
+ If you are developing on `slash-agent` or prefer building from source:
204
+
205
+ 1. **Clone the Repository:**
206
+ ```bash
207
+ git clone https://github.com/akatzmann/slash-agent.git ~/.slash-agent
208
+ cd ~/.slash-agent
209
+ ```
210
+ 2. **Install Python Requirements:**
211
+ ```bash
212
+ pip install -r requirements.txt
213
+ ```
214
+ 3. **Register Shell Integration:**
215
+ Add the appropriate sourcing statement to your shell configuration file:
216
+ * **Bash (Linux):** `source ~/.slash-agent/bin/slash-agent.sh` in `~/.bashrc`
217
+ * **Bash (macOS):** `source ~/.slash-agent/bin/slash-agent.sh` in `~/.bash_profile` (or `~/.profile`)
218
+ * **Zsh:** `source ~/.slash-agent/bin/slash-agent.sh` in `~/.zshrc`
219
+ * **Ksh:** `source ~/.slash-agent/bin/slash-agent.sh` in `~/.kshrc`
220
+ * **Fish:** `source ~/.slash-agent/bin/slash-agent.fish` in `~/.config/fish/config.fish`

224
+ ## 💻 Windows Support (WSL2)
225
+
226
+ **slash-agent** runs natively inside Unix-like PTY environments. Native Windows execution (under standard `CMD` or `PowerShell`) is not supported due to PTY emulation limitations.
227
+
228
+ However, the tool is **100% compatible with WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux)**. Windows users can run `slash-agent` by opening any WSL2 Linux terminal (such as Ubuntu or Debian) and running the standard Quick Start installation command.
229
+
230
+ > [!NOTE]
231
+ > If you are running local LLM engines (like `llama.cpp` or `Ollama`) natively on your Windows host and need to connect to them from `slash-agent` inside WSL2, see the [WSL2 Host Network Integration guide](docs/documentation.md#wsl2-host-network-integration).

234
+
235
+ ## ⚙️ Configuration
236
+
237
+ Configure the LLM backend, endpoint, model, and capture settings in your configuration file (located at `~/.config/slash-agent/env`) or shell profile. You can also override the configuration file path by exporting the `SLASH_AGENT_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable.
238
+
239
+ ```bash
240
+ # LLM Backend: ollama (default), openai (also covers local llama.cpp/vLLM/etc.), azure_openai, dummy
241
+ export AGENT_BACKEND="ollama"
242
+
243
+ # Model name (Defaults: gemma4:latest for ollama, gpt-6.1-sol for openai, gemma4-27b for local APIs)
244
+ export AGENT_MODEL="gemma4:latest"
245
+
246
+ # API endpoint base URL (defaults: http://127.0.0.1:11434 for ollama, http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1 for llama.cpp)
247
+ export AGENT_ENDPOINT="http://127.0.0.1:11434"
248
+
249
+ # OpenAI API Key (required if AGENT_BACKEND="openai". Use "local-api-key" for local APIs)
250
+ export OPENAI_API_KEY=""
251
+
252
+ # Context extraction settings
253
+ export AGENT_TMUX_LINES=50 # Lines captured from active tmux scrollback
254
+ export AGENT_HISTORY_COMMANDS=20 # Commands captured from history fallback
255
+
256
+ # Thinking / reasoning mode settings
257
+ export AGENT_THINKING_LEVEL="off" # Thinking level: off (default), low, medium, high (for reasoning models)
258
+
259
+ # Sampling parameter settings (optional)
260
+ # export AGENT_TEMPERATURE="0.2" # LLM temperature: float (e.g. 0.2), blank/unset for default. (OpenAI's o-series reasoning models do not support custom temperature)
261
+ # export AGENT_TOP_P="0.9" # LLM top_p (nucleus sampling): float (e.g. 0.9), blank/unset for default.
262
+ ```
263
+
264
+ For a full list of configuration variables (e.g., Azure OpenAI variables), see the [.env.template](.env.template) template file.
265
+
266
+ ### 🔄 Re-configuration
267
+
268
+ Instead of manually editing the configuration file, you can re-run the interactive configuration prompts at any time:
269
+ ```bash
270
+ /agent --configure
271
+ # or using the shortcut
272
+ /agent -c
273
+ ```
274
+ This launches the setup wizard, pre-populated with your current configuration choices as defaults so you can quickly update backends, models, endpoints, keys, and thinking levels.

277
+
278
+ ## 🛠️ Usage Examples
279
+
280
+ ### 1. General Command Execution
281
+ ```bash
282
+ /agent create a new directory named 'sandbox' and write a basic python flask server inside it
283
+ ```
284
+
285
+ ### 2. Post-Crash Diagnosis
286
+ If a compiler, build tool, or script crashes, run `/agent` with no arguments (or a request to fix it):
287
+ ```bash
288
+ /agent Fix this crash
289
+ ```
290
+
291
+ ### 3. Dry-run Mode
292
+ Simulate proposed steps and check the agent's plan without making actual system changes:
293
+ ```bash
294
+ /agent -n setup a docker compose file for PostgreSQL and Redis
295
+ ```
296
+
297
+ ### 4. Auto-confirm Mode
298
+ Run tasks without any confirmation prompts for safe, low, or moderate risk commands:
299
+ ```bash
300
+ /agent -y update package lists and install tree
301
+ ```
302
+
303
+ ### 5. Auto-confirm Critical Commands
304
+ By default, critical commands (like `rm -rf` or commands using `sudo`) are not auto-confirmed by `-y` to prevent accidental damage. To auto-confirm even critical commands, pass the `--unsafe-yes` flag:
305
+ ```bash
306
+ /agent --unsafe-yes clean up docker volumes and system cache
307
+ ```
