Outputs land in the folder you choose.\n\nThe interface follows a utilitarian, Codex-style control-center aesthetic: dark\nsurfaces, monospace data, and a signature **Skill Rail** of glowing skill chips.\n\n## Features\n\n- **Skill Rail** — toggle `.skill` files on/off per session; glowing chips show what's loaded\n- **Terminal-style chat** — streamed kiro output with Markdown rendering\n- **Sidebar** — navigation, session history, and a live kiro status indicator\n- **File browser** — input/output folder browsing with watch-based refresh\n- **Settings** — kiro binary detection, folder paths, appearance, test connection\n- **Local-first** — JSON persistence only, no database, no cloud\n\n## Tech Stack\n\n| Layer | Technology |\n|---|---|\n| UI | AvaloniaUI 12 (C# / .NET 10) |\n| Pattern | MVVM (lightweight `ViewModelBase` + `RelayCommand`) |\n| kiro integration | `Process.Start()` subprocess calls |\n| Markdown | Markdig |\n| Persistence | `System.Text.Json` to the platform data dir |\n\n\u003e The original spec targeted .NET 8 / Avalonia 11 + ReactiveUI. This build targets\n\u003e .NET 10 / Avalonia 12 (the installed SDK). Avalonia 12 has no ReactiveUI package,\n\u003e so a lightweight hand-rolled MVVM layer is used instead. All spec features are\n\u003e implemented.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- .NET 10 SDK\n- `kiro-cli` installed and on your `PATH` (optional — the app runs without it and\n  shows a \"kiro not found\" status)\n\n## Run\n\n```bash\ndotnet run --project luna-chat.csproj\n```\n\nor:\n\n```bash\n./run.sh\n```\n\n## First-run setup\n\n1. Open **Settings** (sidebar ⚙).\n2. Confirm the **kiro binary path** (auto-detected from `PATH`) and click **Test connection**.\n3. Set your **Skills folder** (containing `.skill` files or folders with `SKILL.md`).\n4. Set **Input** and **Output** folders.\n5. Click **Save settings**. Skills appear in the Skill Rail on the chat view.\n\n## Data locations\n\n| Platform | Data dir |\n|---|---|\n| macOS | `~/Library/Application Support/LunaChat/` |\n| Windows | `%APPDATA%\\LunaChat\\` |\n\nSessions are stored as JSON under `sessions/`, settings in `settings.json`.\n\n## Build\n\nSee `build/build-mac.sh` and `build/build-windows.ps1` for publishing\nself-contained binaries.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpaulwritescode%2Fluna-chat","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fpaulwritescode%2Fluna-chat","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpaulwritescode%2Fluna-chat/lists"}
