history

Project history and usage

Mods is Charm Bracelet's command-line LLM tool, described by the project as "AI for the command line, built for pipelines." It was designed around Unix standard input and output: read command output or a prompt, send it to an LLM, and print formatted text such as Markdown, JSON, shell-oriented answers, or saved conversation output. That made it part of Charm's broader terminal tooling family rather than a GUI chatbot or application SDK.

Project history

The tool grew around provider flexibility. The README documents OpenAI-compatible endpoints, LocalAI, OpenAI, Cohere, Groq, Azure OpenAI, and Gemini, plus configuration through a settings file and environment variables. It also includes command-line affordances such as selecting models, custom roles, conversation save/list/show/delete commands, Markdown formatting, proxy settings, shell completions, and package installs through Homebrew, Winget, Arch, Nix, Debian/RPM packages, FreeBSD ports, binaries, and `go install`.

How it is used

Charm announced that Mods was sunset and the repository archived on March 9, 2026 so the team could focus on Crush, with much of the non-interactive use case moving to `crush run`. That gives the package a clear historical place: an early pipeline-friendly AI CLI that helped normalize piping terminal output into LLMs, later superseded inside Charm's agentic terminal product line.
