# Klod
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
- Maintains conversation history within a session
|
|
- Configurable model and system prompts
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Go 1.21 or higher
|
|
- Anthropic API key ([get one here](https://console.anthropic.com/))
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Clone and build:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/leoalho/klod.git
|
|
cd anthropic-cli
|
|
go build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Create a symlink for global access:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo ln -s $(pwd)/klod /usr/local/bin/klod
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or install via Go:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
The tool looks for configuration files in the following order:
|
|
|
|
1. `~/.config/klod/config` (XDG standard location)
|
|
2. `~/.klod.env` (home directory)
|
|
3. `.env` in the current directory (for project-specific overrides)
|
|
|
|
### Setup your config:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Create the config directory
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.config/klod
|
|
|
|
# Create config file
|
|
cat > ~/.config/klod/config << EOF
|
|
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
|
|
MODEL=claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929
|
|
SYSTEM_PROMPT=
|
|
KLOD_LOGS=false
|
|
KLOD_LOG_FILE=
|
|
EOF
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Configuration options:
|
|
|
|
- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` (required): Your Anthropic API key
|
|
- `MODEL` (optional): Model to use (default: claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929)
|
|
- `SYSTEM_PROMPT` (optional): Custom system prompt for Claude
|
|
- `KLOD_LOGS` (optional): Enable conversation logging (default: false, set to "true" or "1" to enable)
|
|
- `KLOD_LOG_FILE` (optional): Custom log file path (default: `$XDG_STATE_HOME/klod/conversations.log` or `~/.local/state/klod/conversations.log`)
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Start a conversation:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
klod Hello, how are you?
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
You can also start without an initial prompt:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
klod
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This starts the service and asks for your first prompt interactively.
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
Run without building:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go run main.go your message here
|
|
```
