## Commands

### 💬 `grokkit chat`
Interactive CLI chat with Grok. Features persistent history across sessions.

```bash
grokkit chat                    # Start chat session
grokkit chat -m grok-beta       # Use specific model
grokkit chat --debug            # Enable debug logging
```

**Tips:**
- Type `/quit`, `/q`, or `exit` to exit
- History is saved automatically between sessions
- Use `--debug` to see API request timing

### ✏️ `grokkit edit FILE "instruction"`
AI-powered file editing with preview and automatic backups.

```bash
# Basic usage
grokkit edit main.go "add error handling to all functions"

# Complex refactoring
grokkit edit server.go "convert this to use context for cancellation"

# Add features
grokkit edit api.go "add rate limiting middleware"

# Documentation
grokkit edit utils.go "add detailed docstrings to all exported functions"
```

**Safety features:**
- Creates `.bak` backup before any changes
- Shows preview with diff-style output
- Requires confirmation before applying
- Uses silent streaming (no console spam)

### 📝 `grokkit commitmsg`
Generate conventional commit messages from staged changes.

```bash
git add .
grokkit commitmsg               # Generate message only
grokkit commitmsg -m grok-4     # Use specific model
```

Output format: `type(scope): subject\n\nbody`

### ✅ `grokkit commit`
Generate commit message and commit in one step.

```bash
git add .
grokkit commit                  # Generate + confirm + commit
```

### 🔍 `grokkit review`
AI code review of staged or unstaged changes.

```bash
# Review staged changes

grokkit review

# Get detailed review
grokkit review --debug          # See API timing info
```

Output includes:

Multi-file agent for complex refactoring (experimental).

```bash
grokkit agent "refactor authentication to use JWT"
```

### 🔧 `grokkit lint FILE`
Automatically detect language, run linter, and apply AI-suggested fixes.

```bash
# Just check for issues (no fixes)
grokkit lint main.go --dry-run

# Interactive fix (preview + confirmation)
grokkit lint app.py

# Auto-fix without confirmation
grokkit lint server.js --auto-fix

# Use specific model
grokkit lint script.rb -m grok-4
```

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

```bash
export XAI_API_KEY=sk-...       # Required: Your xAI API key
```

### Config File (Optional)

Create `~/.config/grokkit/config.toml`:

```toml
default_model = "grok-4"
temperature = 0.7
timeout = 60                    # API timeout in seconds
log_level = "info"              # debug, info, warn, error

[aliases]
beta = "grok-beta-2"
fast = "grok-4-mini"

[chat]
history_file = "~/.config/grokkit/chat_history.json"
```

**See also:** [docs/CONFIGURATION.md](docs/CONFIGURATION.md) for advanced configuration options.

### Logging

Logs are written to `~/.config/grokkit/grokkit.log` in JSON format.

```bash
# View logs in real-time
tail -f ~/.config/grokkit/grokkit.log

# Find errors
cat ~/.config/grokkit/grokkit.log | jq 'select(.level=="ERROR")'

# Track API performance
cat ~/.config/grokkit/grokkit.log | jq 'select(.msg=="API request completed") | {model, duration_ms, response_length}'
```

## Workflows

### Git Workflow Integration

```bash
# 1. Make changes
vim src/api.go

# 2. Review with AI
git add src/api.go
grokkit review

# 3. Fix issues, then commit
git add src/api.go
grokkit commit

# 4. Generate PR description
grokkit pr-describe
```

### Code Refactoring Workflow

```bash
# 1. Chat to plan approach
grokkit chat
> "How should I refactor this authentication code to use middleware?"

# 2. Apply changes with edit
grokkit edit auth.go "implement middleware pattern as discussed"

# 3. Review changes
grokkit review

# 4. Commit
grokkit commit
```

### Debugging Workflow

```bash
# 1. Describe issue in chat
grokkit chat --debug
> "I'm getting a nil pointer error in handler.go:42"

# 2. Apply suggested fixes
grokkit edit handler.go "add nil checks before dereferencing user object"

# 3. Verify and commit
grokkit review
grokkit commit
```

### Batch File Editing

```bash
# Edit multiple files with consistent changes
for file in src/*.go; do
  grokkit edit "$file" "add context parameter to all exported functions"
done

# Review all changes together
grokkit review
```

### Code Quality Workflow

```bash
# 1. Check a file for linting issues
grokkit lint app.py --dry-run

# 2. Apply AI-suggested fixes with preview
grokkit lint app.py

# 3. Auto-fix multiple files
for file in src/*.js; do
  grokkit lint "$file" --auto-fix
done

# 4. Review and commit
grokkit review
grokkit commit
```

## Shell Completions

Generate shell completions for faster command entry:

```bash
# Bash
grokkit completion bash | sudo tee /etc/bash_completion.d/grokkit

# Zsh (oh-my-zsh)
grokkit completion zsh > ~/.oh-my-zsh/completions/_grokkit

# Fish
grokkit completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/grokkit.fish

# PowerShell
grokkit completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression
```

## Flags

### Global Flags (work with all commands)

| Flag | Short | Description |
|------|-------|-------------|
| `--model` | `-m` | Override model (e.g., grok-4, grok-beta) |
| `--debug` | | Enable debug logging (stderr + file) |
| `--verbose` | `-v` | Enable verbose logging |
| `--help` | `-h` | Show help |

### Examples

```bash
# Use different model
grokkit chat -m grok-beta

# Debug API issues
grokkit edit main.go "refactor" --debug

# Verbose logging
grokkit review -v
```

## API Usage & Costs

Grokkit uses the xAI Grok API. Be aware:
- API calls consume credits/tokens
- Default timeout: 60 seconds
- Streaming reduces perceived latency
- Consider using model aliases for different use cases (fast/expensive)

## Requirements

- Go 1.24+ (for building)
- Git (for git-related commands)
- XAI API key

## Troubleshooting

**Common issues:**

```bash
# API key not set
Error: XAI_API_KEY environment variable not set
→ Solution: export XAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key

# Request timeout
Error: Request failed: context deadline exceeded
→ Solution: Increase timeout in config.toml or check network

# Permission denied on log file
→ Solution: chmod 644 ~/.config/grokkit/grokkit.log
```
