说明
smartcat (command: sc) puts an AI brain behind Unix pipes. It reads from stdin, processes the content with a language model, and writes the result to stdout, fitting naturally into Unix pipelines. The tool is designed for stream-based text transformation: summarizing, translating, reformatting, code reviewing, generating commit messages, and any other text processing task. It follows Unix philosophy by doing one thing well and composing with other tools. Prompt templates define reusable transformations. Templates are stored in the config file and invoked by name with `-c`. This enables consistent, repeatable AI-powered text processing. Supports multiple providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Ollama, and OpenAI-compatible APIs. Configuration is via a TOML file at `~/.config/smartcat/`. Install via `cargo install smartcat`. The command is `sc` for quick typing.
