For those of you using an LLM CLI tool as part of your terminal workflow. Whether for assisting with shell commands, processing files, or anything else-which one do you use and why?

I’ve noticed there are quite a few out there, such as:

1. [sigoden/aichat](https://github.com/sigoden/aichat)

2. [simonw/llm](https://github.com/simonw/llm)

3. [charmbracelet/mods](https://github.com/charmbracelet/mods)

4. [dh1011/llm-term](https://github.com/dh1011/llm-term)

5. [gorilla-llm/gorilla-cli](https://github.com/gorilla-llm/gorilla-cli)

Which one’s your favorite? Any good one I missed?

I discovered two days ago that you can pipe directly into ollama. Like

cat idea.txt | ollama run "$MODEL" " Write a comprehensive spec from this prompt" | ollama run "$MODEL2" "Implement this spec"

Here to just be the witness that testifies that someone still doesn't use AI for coding, or scripting either.

Same here. My favourite of those is "none of them even being present on my PC"
