Run and exit¶

Use bye mode to run commands non-interactively and exit immediately, without entering the REPL interface:

$ hai bye '<cmd1>' '<cmd2>' ...

Escaping

Use single-quotes around each repl-command to minimize escaping issues.

Reading from stdin¶

Use - as a command to create a /prep message with data from stdin. For example:

$ cat meeting_notes.txt | hai bye - 'summary please'
The following is a summary of the meeting on June 6th:
...

By default, only the final message from the LLM is printed. This is the most natural behavior for use with UNIX pipes:

$ echo "hello" | hai bye - "in japanese" | cat
こんにちは (Konnichiwa)

To print the full set of messages you'd see in REPL mode, use the -p / --print-all flag:

$ echo "hello" | hai bye --print-all - "in japanese" | cat
bye[0]: /prep hello

bye[1]: in japanese

「こんにちは、世界。」

Use -m to set the model, and -u to set the user account:

$ hai -u <username> -m <model> bye '<cmd1>' '<cmd2>' ...

This eliminates variations due to the default user and model fluctuating.

If running in non-interactive mode (e.g. as a cron job), use -y to automatically confirm all user prompts.
