Phase 2 commit #5 per docs/PHASE2.md §12. Streaming broker grows tool-call support without taking a dependency on mcp.lua (caller supplies the tools array — B5 from review). chat_stream signature widens to (cfg, msgs, on_delta, opts): opts.tools - optional array, passed to the request body as the OpenAI-shape tools field. OMITTED entirely when nil or empty (#tools == 0) — some servers reject "tools": []. on_delta callback shape widens to (kind, payload): kind = "text", payload = string (Phase 1 path; unchanged semantics, signature changes from (delta) to ("text", delta)) kind = "tool_call", payload = {id, name, arguments} emitted ONCE per call on finish_reason "tool_calls" after the streaming accumulator pulls fragmented JSON-string arguments together. Accumulator behavior: - Keyed by delta.tool_calls[i].index. - If index is absent on a delta (some llama.cpp builds omit it on single-call streams; C2 in review), default to 0 with a one-shot stderr debug status per stream. - id and name captured from the opening delta of each slot. - function.arguments concatenated across all deltas as the raw JSON-string; caller (repl.lua / future Phase 2 commit #6) does dkjson.decode. - On finish_reason "tool_calls" the accumulator emits all collected calls in index order and resets. M.chat external contract unchanged (C1): wrapper now uses the new (kind, payload) shape internally but exposes the same text-string return. No caller of M.chat passes opts.tools so tool_call kinds are silently dropped. repl.lua minimal companion edit: ask_ai's chat_stream callback updated to the new shape. Text path unchanged; tool_call kinds are no-op placeholders until commit #6 lands the sub-loop. Keeps Phase 1 streaming functional between #5 and #6. Smoke-tested against hossenfelder/8082 (post-#23 fix): - text-only: ok=true, kind="text" deltas received - with opts.tools: model emitted one tool_call, accumulator collected id + name=get_weather + args={"city":"Paris"} correctly across fragmented deltas - opts.tools={}: server accepted (field omitted as required) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
aish
aish — AI-augmented conversational shell.
A single REPL that interleaves shell command execution and language-model conversation, backed by a llama.cpp HTTP broker. Implementation is LuaJIT 2.x with FFI bindings to libcurl, GNU readline, and libc — no C extensions, no build step, one source tree.
Why
Three flows that currently live in three windows fold into one:
- "Run this command and show me the output" — fast feedback loop, no copy-paste between terminal and chat.
- "Explain or write code based on the output we just looked at" — exec output is automatically injected into the model's context.
- "Plan and execute a multi-step task with confirmation gates" — landing in Phase 3 as Chuck Norris autonomous mode.
aish is not a wrapper around bash. It's a first-class interactive environment where the shell is one of several execution channels.
Status
| Component | State |
|---|---|
| Repository skeleton | ✅ in this commit |
| Phase 0 manifest | ✅ docs/PHASE0.md — locked |
| Phase 0 implementation | 🔜 next session |
| Phase 1+ | 📋 enumerated in PHASE0.md §11 |
Every module file currently raises not implemented (Phase 0 pending)
when called. luajit main.lua fails loudly at the first un-implemented
function, never silently.

Build / runtime dependencies
System packages (Debian / ALARM / Arch names):
luajit(>= 2.0)libcurl4/libcurl-openssl-3runtimelibreadline8runtimelibc6runtime (always present)
No compilation, no luarocks, no make. Just luajit main.lua.
Running
Once Phase 0 ships:
luajit main.lua # uses ~/.config/aish/config.lua
luajit main.lua --config ./config.lua # explicit config path
AISH_CONFIG=/path/to/config.lua luajit main.lua
Config resolution order is documented in docs/PHASE0.md §10.
Configuration
config.lua is a Lua file returning a single table. The committed
config.lua in this repo is both the canonical example and the
development-fallback config (lowest precedence). Copy it to
~/.config/aish/config.lua and edit endpoints to your local llama.cpp
servers, or point AISH_CONFIG at your own.
The default endpoints assume mfritsche's home network:
fast→dirac.fritz.box:8081(Qwen2.5-Coder-7B q4 8k ctx)deep→dirac.fritz.box:8080(Qwen2.5-Coder-7B q4 32k ctx)cloud→hossenfelder.fritz.box:8082(forwards to OpenRouter)
Replace these with your own llama.cpp endpoints if you're not on that LAN.
