LLM-Toolbox is an ensemble of AI-powered CLI tools designed to modernize your workflow in the terminal. Built using OpenAI's ChatGPT, the tools in this toolbox can generate automatic commit messages, perform dictionary and thesaurus queries, translate text, proofread content, enrich language learning, and automate shell commands, among others. Obviously, you can also interact with ChatGPT directly.
Additionally, the toolbox provides an array of prompt templates that can serve as a valuable resource, whether you're new to using languages models or you're an experienced user.
I've created video demos to help you see the LLM-Toolbox in action and understand its wide-ranging capabilities. Therefore, I strongly recommend you check out the video demos of the tools to gain a hands-on understanding of their potential. After watching the demos, you can return here for a deeper dive into the specific applications and benefits. So, go ahead, watch the demos! 😊
For those less experienced with terminal interfaces or those preferring the convenience of a web interface, the ChatGPT web interface templates in the LLM-Toolbox can prove incredibly useful. These templates offer a broad spectrum of pre-structured prompts designed to enhance your engagement with ChatGPT, particularly in the context of longer chat interactions with GPT-4 in order to avoid expensive API costs.
These templates, found in the prompt-templates/
directory, cater to various situations and are an excellent resource if you're uncertain about structuring prompts or seek to improve the effectiveness of your existing ones.
python3 -m pip install llm-toolbox
pipx install llm-toolbox
For LLM-Toolbox to work properly, it is necessary to acquire and configure an OpenAI API key. Follow these steps to accomplish this:
-
Acquire the OpenAI API key: You can do this by creating an account on the OpenAI website. Once registered, you will have access to your unique API key.
-
Set usage limit: Before you start using the API, you need to define a usage limit. You can configure this in your OpenAI account settings by navigating to Billing -> Usage limits.
-
Configure the OpenAI API key: Once you have your API key, you can set it up by running the
lmt key set
command.lmt key set
With these steps, you should now have successfully set up your OpenAI API key, ready for use with the LLM-Toolbox.
Instructions on how to use each of the tools are included in the individual directories under tools/. This is also where I give some tricks and tips on their usage 💡👀💭.
Note that LMT is the main tool in the LLM-Toolbox. All of its options apply to (almost) all of the other tools. For instance, you change the model to GPT-4 with -m 4
or add emojis with --emoji
. Refer to the LMT's documentation for more information.
-
Reading from
stdin
: Almost all of the tools can read fromstdin
. For instance:cat my_text.md | summarize
. -
Output Redirection: You can use output redirections with the tools. For instance:
cat my_text.md | critique --raw > critique_of_my_text.md
Here's a brief overview of the tools:
