About
c-ai provides CLI tools for developers to query LLMs directly from the terminal, enabling text summarization, interactive chats, and code analysis via piping. It supports both local and cloud models through utilities like `llm` and `aichat`. Use this skill for quick AI-assisted tasks like generating commit messages, reviewing code, or fixing grammar without leaving your workflow.

llm (Simon Willison)
# Quick prompt
llm "What is the capital of France?"
# Pipe text for processing
cat article.txt | llm "Summarize this in 3 bullet points"
git diff | llm "Write a commit message for these changes"
pbpaste | llm "Fix the grammar in this text"
# Interactive chat
llm chat
# Use specific model
llm -m claude-3.5-sonnet "Explain quantum computing"
llm -m gpt-4o "Review this code"
# List available models
llm models
# Install model plugins
llm install llm-claude-3
llm install llm-ollama # local models
# View prompt/response history
llm logs list
llm logs last
aichat
# Quick prompt
aichat "Explain Docker in simple terms"
# Pipe input
cat code.py | aichat "Find bugs in this code"
# Interactive REPL
aichat
# Shell assistant (generates and runs commands)
aichat -e "find all files larger than 100MB"
# Specific model
aichat -m claude-3.5-sonnet "Hello"
# List models
aichat --list-models
Guidelines
- Use
llmfor piping text through LLMs (summarize, translate, analyze) - Use
aichat -efor generating shell commands from natural language - Both tools store API keys locally — set up once with auth commands
llmhas the richest plugin ecosystem (100+ model providers)aichatis faster (Rust) and has built-in RAG support- These tools use separate API keys from Claude Code — user pays per token

This Claude Skill helps developers optimize cloud costs through resource rightsizing, tagging strategies, and spending analysis. It provides a framework for reducing cloud expenses and implementing cost governance across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Use it when you need to analyze infrastructure costs, right-size resources, or meet budget constraints.
This skill quantizes LLMs to 8-bit or 4-bit precision using bitsandbytes, achieving 50-75% memory reduction with minimal accuracy loss. It's ideal for running larger models on limited GPU memory or accelerating inference, supporting formats like INT8, NF4, and FP4. The skill integrates with HuggingFace Transformers and enables QLoRA training and 8-bit optimizers.
This Claude Skill analyzes sports betting markets including spreads, over/unders, and prop bets by examining historical trends and situational statistics to identify value bets. It provides structured markdown output with actionable recommendations for educational purposes. Developers should use this for sports betting analysis tools while noting it's designed for entertainment/education only.
