Example config.yaml:

backend: "anthropic"
model: "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"
stream: true
maxTokens: 2048
systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant."

• OPENAI_API_KEY: OpenAI API key
• OPENAI_BASE_URL: Override for OpenAI API Base URL
• ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: Anthropic API key
• GOOGLE_API_KEY: Google AI API key

cgpt includes a Vim plugin for easy integration. To use it, copy the vim/plugin/cgpt.vim file to your Vim plugin directory.

1. Visually select the text you want to process with cgpt.
2. Press cg or use the :CgptRun command to run cgpt on the selected text.
3. The output will be appended after the visual selection.

• g:cgpt_backend: Set the backend for cgpt (default: 'anthropic')
• g:cgpt_model: Set the model for cgpt (default: 'claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022')
• g:cgpt_system_prompt: Set the system prompt for cgpt
• g:cgpt_config_file: Set the path to the cgpt configuration file
• g:cgpt_include_filetype: Include the current filetype in the prompt (default: 0)

# Simple query
echo "Explain quantum computing" | cgpt

# Interactive mode
cgpt -c

# Use a specific backend and model
cgpt -b openai -m gpt-4 -i "Translate 'Hello, world!' to French"

# Load and save history
cgpt -I input_history.yaml -O output_history.yaml -i "Continue the conversation"
