history

Project history and usage

qqqa is a stateless LLM assistant for the shell. It installs two executables: qq for single questions and qa for a single tool-assisted action with confirmation and safety checks.

Project history

The project was created as a two-command terminal assistant: qq means “quick question,” while qa means “quick agent.” Its stated design applies Unix-style composition to LLM interactions, keeping invocations mostly independent instead of maintaining a hidden long-running conversation.

Adoption history

The official README documents Homebrew installation on macOS and Linux, source installation through Cargo, and release binaries for Linux and Windows. This gives qqqa several distribution paths while keeping the two short shell commands central to its identity.

How it is used

Use qq for a one-shot answer and qa when the model may read or write a file or propose and execute one command. Both commands support initialization through --init.

The tool supports piped input, selectable provider profiles, and optional narrowly scoped terminal history. API credentials can come from environment variables or be stored explicitly in the configuration file.

On first run, configuration is created at ~/.qq/config.json; when XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set and the legacy file is absent, qqqa instead uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/qq/config.json.

Why package nerds care

qqqa packages an LLM client into two unusually short Unix-style commands. Its stateless, single-shot design, pipe support, configurable providers, local-runtime option, and ability to reuse selected AI CLIs distinguish it from persistent chat applications and larger autonomous-agent frameworks.
