# aichat Plugin
All-in-one LLM CLI. Chat with multiple providers, run one-shot prompts, manage sessions, and pipe shell output into AI workflows.
## Installation
```bash
cargo install aichat
# or download from https://github.com/sigoden/aichat/releases
```
Configure API keys in `~/.config/aichat/config.yaml` or via environment variables (`OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, etc.).
## Basic Usage
```bash
# Interactive chat session
aichat
# One-shot prompt
aichat "Explain this error: connection refused on port 5432"
# Specify model and role
aichat --model gpt-4o "Summarize this README"
# Pipe command output into a prompt
git diff | aichat "Review these changes for bugs"
```
## Common Patterns
```bash
# Use a system role / preset
aichat --role coder "Refactor this function for clarity"
# RAG over local files
aichat --rag ./docs "How do I configure authentication?"
# Execute generated shell commands (use with care)
aichat --execute "List large files in /tmp"
# Session history
aichat --session project-alpha
```
## Usage Examples
