To get started:\n1. Generate a key from [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey)\n2. Set it as an environment variable:\n```bash\nexport GEMINI_API_KEY=\"YOUR_API_KEY\"\ngenie ask \"hello world\"              # CLI mode\ngit diff | genie ask \"commit msg?\"   # Unix pipes\ngenie                                # Interactive TUI mode\n```\n\n\u003e **💡 Tip:** The Gemini API provides 100 free requests per day with Gemini 2.5 Pro. Upgrade to a paid plan for higher rate limits.\n\nPrefer OpenAI? Switch providers with two environment variables:\n```bash\nexport GENIE_LLM_PROVIDER=\"openai\"\nexport OPENAI_API_KEY=\"sk-your-api-key\"\ngenie ask \"summarize README.md\"\n```\nOptionally set `OPENAI_BASE_URL` or `OPENAI_ORG_ID` if you use a custom endpoint.\n\nPrefer Anthropic? Use the Claude models instead:\n```bash\nexport GENIE_LLM_PROVIDER=\"anthropic\"\nexport ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=\"sk-ant-api-key\"\ngenie ask \"explain retrieval augmented generation\"\n```\nSet `ANTHROPIC_SHOW_THINKING=true` if you want Claude's thinking blocks streamed as notifications.\n\n**📖 Full setup guide:** [docs/INSTALLATION.md](docs/INSTALLATION.md)\n\n## 🎭 Personas\n\nGenie supports different personas for specialized tasks:\n\n```bash\n# Use specific personas\ngenie --persona engineer ask \"review this code\"\ngenie --persona product-owner ask \"plan this feature\"\n```\n\nEach persona can pin its own `model_name` and `llm_provider` inside `prompt.yaml`, while `GENIE_MODEL_NAME` and `GENIE_LLM_PROVIDER` remain global fallbacks.\n\n**📖 Learn more:** [docs/personas.md](docs/personas.md)\n\n## 💡 Philosophy\n\nInspired by [Lazygit](https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit), [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code), and [Aider](https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider), and built for the Unix philosophy: composable, transparent, and adaptable.\n\n**Core beliefs:**\n- **Give you control** - Understand what's happening, not just trust a black box, and is infinitely hackable\n- **Integrate naturally** - Work with your existing tools, don't replace them\n- **Respect the terminal** - Embrace the power and flexibility of the command line\n- **Stay composable** - Pipe, redirect, script, and automate freely\n\nWhether you're coding, managing projects, taking notes, or automating workflows, Genie adapts to your needs.\n\n## 📚 Documentation\n\n- **[Installation \u0026 Setup](docs/INSTALLATION.md)** - Complete installation guide\n- **[TUI Guide](docs/TUI.md)** - Interactive interface features  \n- **[CLI Usage](docs/CLI.md)** - Command line examples\n- **[Configuration](docs/CONFIGURATION.md)** - Customization options\n- **[Personas](docs/personas.md)** - AI personality system\n- **[Docker Usage](docs/DOCKER.md)** - Container setup\n- **[Architecture](docs/ARCHITECTURE.md)** - How Genie works\n- **[Contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md)** - Join the project\n\n## 🔗 Ecosystem\n\n- [kcaldas/genie.nvim](https://github.com/kcaldas/genie.nvim) - Neovim companion plugin\n\n## 🙏 Acknowledgments\n\nBuilt with [Google Gemini AI](https://ai.google.dev/) • [gocui](https://github.com/awesome-gocui/gocui) • [GoReleaser](https://goreleaser.com/)\n\n---\n\nMade with ❤️ for developers who love the command line\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkcaldas%2Fgenie","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkcaldas%2Fgenie","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkcaldas%2Fgenie/lists"}
