## AI 摘要

Hax 是一款用 C 语言编写的极简主义终端编程工具，单个原生二进制文件，启动即时、内存占用仅几 MB，为本地 LLM 留出更多 RAM。它自动发现模型和运行时能力，支持 llama.cpp、OpenAI、Anthropic、Codex、OpenRouter 等提供商，并保留终端原生滚动缓冲。hax 运行于 Linux 和 macOS，可通过 Homebrew 安装或从源码构建。

## 正文

> Lightweight by design

A single native C binary with a small dependency set. Starts instantly, and uses a very small amount of memory (just a few MBs) — so more RAM is left for your local LLMs.

> Local models are first-class

hax auto-discovers the model and runtime capabilities. No custom provider config block needed for the default setup.

llama-server -m [model].gguf hax --provider llama.cpp

> Respects your terminal

Streaming Markdown and live tool output, reflowed for display in the terminal. Only redraws the current streaming line or the input area, native scrollback is preserved. Does not take over or mess with your terminal.

> Inspectable

See exactly what was sent to the model and what it replied in a usable transcript view (Ctrl+T). Optionally collect a detailed wire protocol trace.

> Use any provider/model

Supports OpenAI (+compatible), Anthropic (+compatible), Codex (via ChatGPT subscription), OpenRouter, llama.cpp, etc.

> Well-behaved Unix tool

XDG paths, clean stdout in -p one-shot mode with resume hints on stderr, plain-text config and session files, composition via subprocesses instead of plugins.

> Target audience

Developers who live in the terminal, run local models, audit what their tools do, package software for distros, or run agents where resources are scarce. If you want MCP marketplaces, a plugin runtime, IDE panels, or per-command permission prompts, other agents build exactly that — hax deliberately doesn't, and docs/philosophy.md explains each omission and the pattern that covers the need.

If "fancy new AI tech in an old-school minimalist package" sounds like your vibe, you might like this.

$ Get started

hax runs on Linux and macOS; on Windows, use it under WSL.

With Homebrew (macOS or Linux):

brew install oleksandrchekhovskyi/hax/hax

On Linux, download the prebuilt static binary for your architecture (x86_64 or aarch64) from the latest release, then unpack the hax binary into any directory on your PATH.

Building from source gives a binary linked against your system's shared libraries instead of a static one:

git clone https://github.com/OleksandrChekhovskyi/hax.git cd hax scripts/install_deps.sh # Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, openSUSE, Alpine, macOS make # the binary is now at ./build/hax make install # optional; may prompt for sudo

scripts/install_deps.sh installs the build dependencies — a C compiler, libcurl, jansson, meson, ninja, and pkg-config — plus fzf, which hax uses for @file completion when available.

Run hax from the project directory you want it to work in:

hax # interactive REPL hax -p "list TODOs" # run one prompt and print the final answer printf "explain x" | hax -p # read the prompt from stdin hax -c # continue the latest session for this directory hax --resume # pick a past session for this directory hax --resume=ID -p "next" # resume a specific session in one-shot mode

The easiest first run is interactive: start hax, then use /provider to see available providers and choose a model. hax remembers interactive provider, model, and effort selections.

See the README for provider setup and the full documentation.
