# Generate shell command
command = client.generate_shell_command("list all files")

# Generate code
code = client.generate_code("create a python function that calculates fibonacci numbers")
```

For more library examples and advanced usage, see the [Library Usage Guide](https://nazdridoy.github.io/ngpt/usage/library_usage.html).

#### Advanced Library Usage

```python
# Stream responses
for chunk in client.chat("Write a poem about Python", stream=True):
    print(chunk, end="", flush=True)

# Customize system prompt
response = client.chat(
    "Explain quantum computing",
    system_prompt="You are a quantum physics professor. Explain complex concepts simply."
)

# OS-aware shell commands
# Automatically generates appropriate commands for the current OS
command = client.generate_shell_command("find large files")
import subprocess
result = subprocess.run(command, shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True)
print(result.stdout)

# Clean code generation
# Returns only code without markdown or explanations
code = client.generate_code("function that converts Celsius to Fahrenheit")
print(code)

# Compare responses from different providers
openai_config = load_config(config_index=0)  # OpenAI
groq_config = load_config(config_index=1)    # Groq

openai_client = NGPTClient(**openai_config)
groq_client = NGPTClient(**groq_config)

openai_response = openai_client.chat("Explain quantum computing")
groq_response = groq_client.chat("Explain quantum computing")
```

For advanced usage patterns and integrations, check out the [Advanced Examples](https://nazdridoy.github.io/ngpt/examples/advanced.html).

### As a CLI Framework

nGPT can also be used as a framework to build your own AI-powered command-line tools. You can leverage nGPT's pre-built CLI components to quickly develop sophisticated CLI applications.

```python
from ngpt import NGPTClient
from ngpt.utils.config import load_config
from ngpt.cli.interactive import interactive_chat_session
from ngpt.cli.renderers import prettify_markdown
from ngpt.cli.args import setup_argument_parser
import sys

# Create a custom CLI tool with colorized help
parser = setup_argument_parser()
parser.description = "Specialized Code Assistant"
parser.add_argument("prompt", nargs="?", help="Code description")
parser.add_argument("--language", "-l", default="python", help="Programming language")
parser.add_argument("--interactive", "-i", action="store_true", help="Start interactive mode")
args = parser.parse_args()

# Initialize client
client = NGPTClient(**load_config())

# Use interactive session for conversation
if args.interactive:
    system_prompt = f"You are an expert {args.language} developer. Provide clear, detailed answers."
    interactive_chat_session(client=client, preprompt=system_prompt, prettify=True)
elif args.prompt:
    # Generate and prettify code
    code = client.generate_code(args.prompt, language=args.language)
    print(prettify_markdown(f"```{args.language}\n{code}\n```"))
else:
    parser.print_help()
    sys.exit(1)
```

This allows you to build specialized AI tools like:
- Code generators for specific languages or frameworks
- Domain-specific assistants (SQL, legal, finance, etc.)
- Documentation generators
- Translation tools
- And much more

For detailed information about building CLI tools with nGPT, see the [CLI Framework Guide](https://nazdridoy.github.io/ngpt/usage/cli_framework.html) and explore the [CLI Component Examples](https://nazdridoy.github.io/ngpt/examples/cli_components.html).

### CLI Configuration

NGPT offers a CLI configuration system that allows you to set default values for command-line options:

```bash
# Set default options
ngpt --cli-config set language typescript
ngpt --cli-config set temperature 0.9
ngpt --cli-config set prettify true

# View current settings
ngpt --cli-config get

# Get a specific setting
ngpt --cli-config get language

# Remove a setting
ngpt --cli-config unset prettify

# List all available options
ngpt --cli-config list

# Show help information
ngpt --cli-config help
```

Key features of CLI configuration:
- **Context-Aware**: Settings are applied based on the current command mode (e.g., `language` only applies in code generation mode `-c`).
- **Priority**: When determining option values, NGPT uses the following priority order (highest to lowest):
  1. Command-line arguments
  2. Environment variables
  3. CLI configuration (ngpt-cli.conf)
  4. Main configuration file (ngpt.conf)
  5. Default values
- **Mutual Exclusivity**: For options like `no-stream`, `prettify`, and `stream-prettify`, setting one to `True` automatically sets the others to `False` in the configuration file, ensuring consistency.
- **Smart Selection**: The `provider` setting is used to select which configuration profile to use, offering a persistent way to select your preferred API.

Available options include:
- General options (all modes): `provider`, `temperature`, `top_p`, `max_tokens`, `preprompt`, `renderer`, `config-index`, `web-search`
- Mode-specific options: `language` (code mode only), `log` (interactive and text modes)
- Mutually exclusive options: `no-stream`, `prettify`, `stream-prettify`

#### Practical Examples

```bash
# Set Gemini as your default provider
ngpt --cli-config set provider Gemini
# Now you can run commands without specifying --provider
ngpt "Explain quantum computing"

# Configure code generation for TypeScript
ngpt --cli-config set language typescript
# Now in code mode, TypeScript will be used by default
ngpt -c "Write a function to sort an array"

# Set a higher temperature for more creative responses
ngpt --cli-config set temperature 0.9
```

The CLI configuration is stored in:
- Linux: `~/.config/ngpt/ngpt-cli.conf`
- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/ngpt/ngpt-cli.conf`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\ngpt\ngpt-cli.conf`

For more details, see the [CLI Configuration Guide](https://nazdridoy.github.io/ngpt/usage/cli_config.html).

### Interactive Configuration

The `--config` option without arguments enters interactive configuration mode, allowing you to add or edit configurations:

```bash
# Add a new configuration
ngpt --config

# Edit an existing configuration at index 1
ngpt --config --config-index 1

# Edit an existing configuration by provider name
ngpt --config --provider Gemini

# Remove a configuration at index 2
ngpt --config --remove --config-index 2

# Remove a configuration by provider name
ngpt --config --remove --provider Gemini

# Use a specific configuration by provider name
ngpt --provider OpenAI "Tell me about quantum computing"
```

In interactive mode:
- When editing an existing configuration, press Enter to keep the current values
- When creating a new configuration, press Enter to use default values
- For security, your API key is not displayed when editing configurations
- When removing a configuration, you'll be asked to confirm before deletion

For more details on configuring nGPT, see the [Configuration Guide](https://nazdridoy.github.io/ngpt/configuration.html).

### Configuration File

nGPT uses a configuration file stored in the standard user config directory for your operating system:

- **Linux**: `~/.config/ngpt/ngpt.conf` or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ngpt/ngpt.conf`
- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/ngpt/ngpt.conf`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\ngpt\ngpt.conf`

The configuration file uses a JSON list format, allowing you to store multiple configurations. You can select which configuration to use with the `--config-index` argument (or by default, index 0 is used).

#### Multiple Configurations Example (`ngpt.conf`)
```json
[
  {
    "api_key": "your-openai-api-key-here",
    "base_url": "https://api.openai.com/v1/",
    "provider": "OpenAI",
    "model": "gpt-4o"
  },
  {
    "api_key": "your-groq-api-key-here",
    "base_url": "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1/",
    "provider": "Groq",
    "model": "llama3-70b-8192"
  },
  {
    "api_key": "your-ollama-key-if-needed",
    "base_url": "http://localhost:11434/v1/",
    "provider": "Ollama-Local",
    "model": "llama3"
  }
]
```

For details on the configuration file format and structure, see the [Configuration Guide](https://nazdridoy.github.io/ngpt/configuration.html).

### Configuration Priority

nGPT determines configuration values in the following order (highest priority first):

1. Command line arguments (`--api-key`, `--base-url`, `--model`, etc.)
2. Environment variables (`OPENAI_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_BASE_URL`, `OPENAI_MODEL`)
3. CLI configuration file (`ngpt-cli.conf`, managed with `--cli-config`)
4. Main configuration file `ngpt.conf` or `custom-config-file`
5. Default values
