feat: Allow starting CLI without initial prompt (#2)
Make the initial prompt optional. When no arguments are provided,
the CLI now goes directly to interactive mode instead of exiting.

feat: Add logging
Add conversation logging with per-session files and visual separators

Implements optional conversation logging where each session creates its own timestamped log file. Also adds dynamic terminal-width separators between messages for better visual organization.

# klod
# Klod
A simple, fast CLI tool for chatting with Claude using the Anthropic API with real-time streaming responses.
Klod (pronounced \klod\\), a simple Go-based CLI tool for interacting with the Anthropic API
## Motivation
Sometimes you just need to quickly check/ask an LLM something. I basically live in the terminal so I want to avoid the context switch to a browser. Claude code on the other hand is a bit too eager to help (which has its benefits but no necessarily for your quick short messages). Therefore I quickly stiched together klod, originally in bash, still living as [./main.sh](main.sh) at the root of the project.
## Features
- Interactive chat with Claude in your terminal
- Real-time streaming responses (see text as Claude types)
- Maintains conversation history within a session
- Configurable model and system prompts
- Multi-location config file support

## Installation
1. Clone and build:
```bash
git clone <your-repo-url>
git clone https://github.com/leoalho/klod.git
cd anthropic-cli
go build -o klod
go build
```
2. Create a symlink for global access:
```bash
sudo ln -s $(pwd)/klod /usr/local/bin/klod
```
Or install via Go:
```bash
go install
```

## Configuration
The tool looks for configuration files in the following order:
1. `~/.config/klod/config` (XDG standard location)
2. `~/.klod.env` (home directory)
3. `.env` in the current directory (for project-specific overrides)

- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` (required): Your Anthropic API key
- `MODEL` (optional): Model to use (default: claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929)
- `SYSTEM_PROMPT` (optional): Custom system prompt for Claude
- `KLOD_LOGS` (optional): Enable conversation logging (default: false, set to "true" or "1" to enable)
- `KLOD_LOG_FILE` (optional): Custom log file path (default: `$XDG_STATE_HOME/klod/conversations.log` or `~/.local/state/klod/conversations.log`)
## Usage
Start a conversation:
```bash
klod "Hello, how are you?"
klod Hello, how are you?
```
This will:
1. Send your initial message to Claude
2. Stream the response in real-time
3. Enter an interactive chat mode where you can continue the conversation
Type `exit` or `quit` to end the conversation.
## Examples
```bash
# Ask a quick question
klod "What is the capital of France?"
# Start a coding session
klod "Help me write a Python function to calculate fibonacci numbers"
# Use a different model (set in config)
# Edit your config file and change MODEL=claude-opus-4-5-20251101
klod "Explain quantum computing"
```
## Development
Run without building:
```bash
go run main.go "your message here"
go run main.go your message here
```
