A simple implementation for fun even in someone elses cloud.

Pull Request Overview

This PR introduces a simple LLM interaction tool that provides a command-line interface for querying Mistral AI models. The implementation creates a bash function that maintains conversation history and provides a terminal-based chat experience.

Key Changes

• Adds a new .askllm file containing environment variable exports and a bash function for LLM interaction
• Implements conversation history management with automatic truncation to keep the last 6 exchanges
• Provides interactive terminal interface with colored output and word wrapping

The API key is hardcoded as a placeholder value. This should be documented as needing user configuration, or the export should be removed entirely to require users to set their own key securely.

Suggested change

	export ASKLLM_MISTRAL_API_KEY="mistral-api-key"
	# NOTE: You must set ASKLLM_MISTRAL_API_KEY in your environment before using askllm.

Using cat without any input source will hang indefinitely waiting for stdin. This should be read -r USER_INPUT or read -p 'prompt: ' USER_INPUT to properly capture user input.

Suggested change

	USER_INPUT=$(cat)
	read -r USER_INPUT

The history truncation logic is incorrect. When truncating to keep the last 6 exchanges plus the system prompt, the CONTENTS array should preserve the system prompt at index 0, but line 42 assumes CONTENTS[0] is always the system content which may not be true after multiple truncations.

Suggested change

	if ((${#ROLES[@]} > 7)); then
	ROLES=("system" "${ROLES[@]: -6}")
	CONTENTS=("${CONTENTS[0]}" "${CONTENTS[@]: -6}")
	CONTENTS=("$ASKLLM_SYSTEM_PROMPT" "${CONTENTS[@]: -6}")

The error handling doesn't distinguish between API errors and missing response content. Consider checking for API error responses first (e.g., .error.message) before attempting to extract the content.

Suggested change

	ERROR_MSG=$(echo "$RESPONSE" | jq -r '.error.message // empty')
	if [[ -n "$ERROR_MSG" ]]; then
	echo -e "\033[31mAPI Error: $ERROR_MSG\033[0m"
	echo -e "\033[33mAPI response:\n$RESPONSE\033[0m"
	return 1
	fi
