Setup 🛠️

Setting up GurrAI is straightforward and essential for a smooth experience. Follow these steps to get up and running:

Prerequisites

1. Python 3.7+: Ensure you have Python installed. You can check your Python version with:

   python3 --version

2. Helix Editor: Install the Helix editor. Follow the installation instructions on the Helix GitHub page.

3. OpenAI API Key: Obtain an API key from OpenAI. You can sign up and get your API key here.

Installation

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/7flash/gurrai.git ~/Documents/gurrai

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd ~/Documents/gurrai

3. Install required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Set up your OpenAI API key as an environment variable:

   echo "export OPENAI_API_KEY='your-api-key-here'" >> ~/.zshrc
   source ~/.zshrc

5. Add an alias in your .zshrc file to expedite the invocation of GurrAI:

   echo "alias ai='python3 ~/Documents/gurrai/src/ai.py'" >> ~/.zshrc
   source ~/.zshrc

Adding this alias ensures that you can quickly start prompting by simply typing ai in your terminal. This step is a crucial part of the setup.

Usage 📚

Write prompt directly

ai

It will spawn a helix editor inside of your terminal session, where you can write your prompt, and :wq to execute the prompt, you will see response appended to your prompt with |assistant| role, that you can continue the conversation by editing or adding new messages.

Input file as argument

To kickstart your conversation with AI, simply run ai in the terminal:

ai path/to/your/prompt-in.txt

• Step 1: Type your prompt in the Helix editor.
• Step 2: See the response in the Helix editor spawned along with your prompt.
• Step 3: Iteratively continue your conversation.

This workflow allows you to refine and build upon your prompts iteratively, making your AI interactions more productive and fluid.

Piping prompt file

GurrAI supports Unix-like interactions, allowing you to spawn a new conversation by piping a prompt file:

cat prompts/example.txt | ai

This command reads the content of example.txt and uses it as the prompt for the AI. It's a true Unix way of interacting with AI!

Referencing Files and Sections 📁

You can reference any local files directly within your prompt:

file:./path/to/yourfile.txt

For more granular control, you can reference specific sections of files using hashtags after the file name:

file:./path/to/yourfile.py#section

In Python files, GurrAI will look for comments such as # .section to locate the referenced section. For other file types, the corresponding comment style (e.g., // .section for JavaScript) will be used.

Referencing Local and Global Paths 🌐

You can reference local paths relative to the prompts folder, as well as global paths starting with /:

file:./relative/path/to/file.txt
file:/absolute/path/to/file.txt

This flexibility ensures you can easily include any necessary files or sections in your prompts.

Roles and Ignoring Messages 🎭

GurrAI supports defining different message roles within your prompt file using the |role| separator between messages. For example:

|user|
What is the weather today?
|assistant|
The weather is sunny with a high of 25°C.

You can also exclude messages by adding !ignore after the |role|:

|user|
What is the weather today?
|assistant|!ignore
The weather is sunny with a high of 25°C.

This feature allows you to control which messages are processed and which are not, enhancing the flexibility of your interactions.

Important Dependency 🍃

GurrAI relies on the Helix editor, which provides a powerful, efficient, and intuitive way to interact with your prompts and AI responses. The Helix editor's vim-like style makes it the best editor for this purpose.
