## 🚀 Overview
Viby is a powerful AI agent that lives in your terminal, designed to solve virtually any task you throw at it. Whether you need code assistance, shell commands, information retrieval, or creative content - Viby vibes with your needs and delivers solutions instantly.
## ✨ Features
- **Intelligent Conversations** - Engage in natural multi-turn dialogues
- **Automatic Shell Command Generation** - Get optimized shell commands when needed
- **Pipeline Integration** - Process data from other commands (e.g., `git diff | viby "write a commit message"`)
- **MCP Tools** - Extended capabilities through Model Context Protocol integration
- **Smart Tool Discovery** - Automatically finds and uses the most relevant tools within configured MCP servers
- **History Management** - Complete interaction history with search, export, and management
- **Command Embeddings** - Semantic search in tools using embedded vectors for accurate tool selection
- **Multi-language Support** - Full interface in English and Chinese with easy language switching

## 🔧 Installation
```sh
# Install from PyPI
pip install viby
# OR
uv tool install viby
```
### Alternative Installation
```sh
# Install from source with uv
uv pip install -e .
```
## Usage Examples
### Basic Question
```sh
yb "Write a quicksort in python"
# -> Sure! Here is a quicksort algorithm implemented in **Python**:
```
### Interactive Chat Mode
```sh
yb --chat
# or
yb -c
|> Tell me about quantum computing
# -> [AI responds about quantum computing]
|> What are the practical applications?
# -> [AI responds with follow-up information]
|> exit
```
### Process Piped Content
```sh
git diff | yb "Generate a commit message"
# -> Added information to the README
```
```sh
yb "What is this project about?" < README.md
# -> This project is about...
```
### Generate Shell Command
```sh
yb "How many lines of python code did I write?"
# -> find . -type f -name "*.py" | xargs wc -l
# -> [r]run, [e]edit, [y]copy, [c]chat, [q]quit (default: run):
```
### Advanced Model Selection
```sh
# Use think model for complex analysis
yb --think "Analyze this complex algorithm and suggest optimizations"
# Use fast model for quick responses
yb --fast "Translate 'Hello, World!' to French"
```
### Shell Command Magic Integration
```sh
# List directory contents
yb "$(ls) What files are in the current directory?"
# -> The current directory contains: file1.txt, file2.py, directory1/...
# Analyze Git status
yb "$(git status) Which files should I commit first?"
# View code files
yb "$(cat main.py) How can I improve this code?"
```
### Smart Tool Discovery
```sh
# Viby will automatically discover and use relevant tools
yb "What's the weather in San Francisco?"
# -> [Viby identifies and uses weather tools]
# -> The current weather in San Francisco is 68°F and partly cloudy...
# Embedding Model Management
# First download the embedding model (required once before using embedding features)
# Embed model configurable with yb --config
yb tools embed download
# Start the embedding server (required for tool discovery)
yb tools embed start
# Check embedding server status
yb tools embed status
# Update tool embeddings from configured MCP servers
yb tools embed update
# Stop the embedding server when not needed
yb tools embed stop
```
### History Management
```sh
# View recent interactions
yb history list
# Search your history
yb history search "python"
# Export your interaction history
yb history export history.json
# View command history
yb history shell
```
### Automatically Use MCP Tools When Needed
```sh
yb "What time is it now?"
# -> [AI uses time tool to get current time]
# -> "datetime": "2025-05-03T00:49:57+08:00"
```
### Keyboard Shortcuts
Viby provides a convenient keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Q) that allows you to quickly use Viby with the current command line content:
```sh
# Install the keyboard shortcuts (auto-detects your shell)
yb shortcuts
# After installation, type any command and press Ctrl+Q
help me analysis my readme file # Now press Ctrl+Q
# -> This transforms into: yb help me analysis my readme file
# -> [AI analyzes and responds to question]
```
Supported shells:
- Bash
- Zsh
- Fish
After installing shortcuts, you'll need to reload your shell configuration (`source ~/.bashrc`, `source ~/.zshrc`, or equivalent) or restart your terminal for the shortcuts to take effect.
For more detailed examples and advanced usage, see the [Usage Examples](./docs/viby_usage_examples.md) documentation.
## Configuration
Viby reads configuration from `~/.config/viby/config.yaml`. You can set the model, parameters, and MCP options here.
### Interactive Configuration
Use the configuration wizard to set up your preferences:
```sh
yb --config
```
This allows you to configure:
- API endpoint and key
- Model
- Temperature and token settings
- MCP tools enablement
- Interface language
### MCP Server Configuration
Viby supports Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for extended capabilities. MCP configurations are stored in `~/.config/viby/mcp_servers.json`.
