## 🌟 What is DevCLI?

DevCLI brings AI-powered coding assistance to everyone - **completely free and private**. Unlike cloud-based alternatives, DevCLI runs entirely on your machine using local models via [Ollama](https://ollama.ai).

**The Best of Both Worlds:**
- Claude Code's intuitive chat interface ✨
- 100% free open-source models 🆓
- Complete privacy - never leaves your machine 🔒

---

## ✨ Key Features

### 🆓 **Completely Free**
No API costs, no subscriptions, no hidden fees. Use powerful models like DeepSeek, Llama, and Qwen without spending a dime.

### 🔒 **Privacy First**
Your code never leaves your machine. No telemetry, no tracking, no cloud uploads.

### 💬 **Interactive Chat Mode**
Just type `devcli` and start chatting - like Claude Code, but free!

### 🎯 **Project-Aware**
Understands your entire codebase. Get answers with specific file names and line numbers.

### 🤖 **Auto-Discovery**
Automatically finds and configures your Ollama models. No manual setup!

### 📊 **Three Output Modes**
- **Normal** - Beautiful, interactive
- **Quiet** - Clean, pipeable (`--quiet`)
- **JSON** - Structured, automatable (`--json`)

---

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
# Install DevCLI from PyPI (recommended)
pip install devcli

# Or use quick install script
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YOUR_USERNAME/devcli/main/install.sh | bash

# Or install from source for development
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/devcli.git
cd devcli
pip install -e .
```

### Setup

```bash
# Install Ollama (if you haven't)
# Visit: https://ollama.ai

# Pull some models
ollama pull llama3.1
ollama pull deepseek-r1:7b

# Auto-discover models
devcli models-sync
```

### Start Chatting!

```bash
# Interactive mode (just type devcli!)
$ devcli

Welcome to DevCLI! 🤖
Model: llama3.1
Project context: ✓ loaded

> what does this project do?
[AI explains your project...]

> where is the authentication code?
[AI provides specific file paths...]

> exit
Goodbye! 👋
```

---

## 📖 Usage

### Interactive Mode (Recommended)

```bash
# Just type devcli to start chatting
devcli

# In-chat commands:
> /model deepseek-r1    # Switch models
> /nocontext           # Toggle project context
> /reset               # Clear history
> help                 # Show commands
> exit                 # Quit
```

### One-Shot Questions

```bash
# Normal mode
devcli ask "what does this project do?"

# With specific model
devcli ask "where is the auth logic?" --model deepseek-r1

# Without context (generic question)
devcli ask "explain async/await" --no-context
```

### Automation & Scripting

```bash
# Quiet mode - clean output for pipes
devcli ask "list all functions" --quiet | grep important

# JSON mode - structured data for scripts
devcli ask "analyze code" --json | jq '.response'

# Use in scripts
RESPONSE=$(devcli ask "check tests" --json | jq -r '.response')
echo "AI says: $RESPONSE"
```

### Project Understanding

```bash
# Scan your project
cd /path/to/your/project
devcli init

# Now ask context-aware questions
devcli ask "how does the config system work?"
# → AI responds with specific file names and line numbers!
```

## 🎨 Examples

### Example 1: Understand a New Codebase

```bash
$ cd unfamiliar-project/
$ devcli init
✓ Project initialized! 23 files scanned

$ devcli
> what does this project do?
[AI]: This is a REST API for task management built with FastAPI...

> where is the database connection code?
[AI]: The database connection is in `src/db/connection.py` lines 15-30...

> how does authentication work?
[AI]: Authentication uses JWT tokens. The logic is in:
      - `src/auth/jwt.py` (token generation)
      - `src/middleware/auth.py` (verification)
```

### Example 2: Automation

```bash
# Find all TODO comments
devcli ask "list all TODO comments" --quiet | grep -i urgent > urgent.txt

# Check test coverage
COVERAGE=$(devcli ask "analyze test coverage" --json | jq -r '.response')
if echo "$COVERAGE" | grep -q "low"; then
    echo "⚠️  Low test coverage detected!"
fi

# Generate documentation
for file in src/*.py; do
    devcli ask "document $file" --quiet >> DOCS.md
done
```

### Example 3: Multi-Model Comparison (Coming Soon)

```bash
# Try different models for the same task
devcli ask "optimize this function" --model llama3.1
devcli ask "optimize this function" --model deepseek-r1
devcli ask "optimize this function" --model qwen2.5

# Pick the best answer!
```
